SPRINGFIELD. OHIO. 



A Bad Hail Storm. 



Probably the most violent hail storm 

 on record visited this locality July 27, 

 its duration having been about forty- 

 five minutes and the sizes ranging from 

 hickory nuts to hulled walnuts, accord- 

 ing to various eye-witnesses. West of 

 town tne ravines were said to have been 

 piled full of hailstones. Nearly every 

 florist here suffered a slight loss of glass 

 in hotbed sashes, but all houses with- 

 stood the bombardment, with the excep- 

 tion of several of the oldest houses of 

 the George H. Mellen Co., in which sin- 

 gle strength glass was broken to the 

 extent, of approximately $100. 



"We learn of only one concern here 

 carrying hail insurance, but this recent 

 experience will doubtless cause a more 

 general demand for this sort of protec- 

 tion. At Urbana the Keeser Floral Co. 

 sustained a loss variously reported at 

 from 300 to 700 lights of glass. 



Florists' Qub Picnic. 



On Thursday, August 2, the first picnic 

 of the Springfield Florists ' Club was held 

 at Eicholz park, a romantic spot on the 

 Springfield, Troy & Piqua Electric Rail- 

 way. Athletic sports began with quoits. 

 Ward Welch and Charlie Schmidt prov- 

 ing a pair invincible against all oppos- 

 ing pitchers. Refreshments were abun- 

 dant for a big noontime lunch, and were 

 partaken of at the pleasure of each 

 member or guest throughout the day. 

 Baseball was the leading attraction, a 

 double-header between the south-enders 

 and the ' ' tother-enders ' ' resulting in fa- 

 vor of the latter, to the tune of ten 

 to nine and twenty-one to four. 

 Jack Good, pitcher for the van- 

 quished, claimed it would have been 

 otherwise had he been supported by a 

 catcher other than Ward Welch, who 

 succumbed to "that tired feeling" and 

 stretched at full length under a shade 

 tree about the middle of the second 

 game. 



Gus Schneider and Charlie Schmidt 

 worked together well as a battery for 

 the victors, and Umpire Jimmy Maxwell 

 announced amusing decisions in his rare 

 old Scottish brogue. The closing event 

 was a boat race, which culminated, 

 through a deeply plotted conspiracy, in 

 the capsizing of one boat and a thor- 

 ough ducking for two muscular rowers.
