Store closes at 6 p. m. during: Aug-ust. 



the date. There are many features con- 

 nected with this pleasant resort that 

 make it an ideal place for such an out- 

 ing. The ferry runs every twenty min- 

 utes, so there is no arbitrary time of 

 going or returning, and if you miss a 

 boat you don't have to wait four hours 

 for another. There is an excellent dia- 

 mond for the ball game, east side versus 

 west side, and a spacious bleacher for 

 spectators. Then there is a fine meadow 

 for the other sports, and for those not 

 interested in these games there is a fine 

 figure eight for giddy old men and 

 women who need some electricity injected 

 into their fading systems. For spinsters 

 over 40 there is a razzle dazzle, and 

 for the younger element there is a spa- 

 cious roller skating rink and a fine dance 

 hall. A merry-go-round for the chil- 

 dren, shooting galleries, bowling alleys 

 and vaudeville show, where we shall ex- 

 pect a monologue from Conie Forbach 

 on how to grow Gloire de Lorraine; one 

 from John Milley called "Money on 

 Dogs," and a third by W. "Warring, Jr., 

 on the effect of horse racing dope on the 



brain. Then, again, we must not forget 

 that we are on the pebbly beach of Lake 

 Erie, where we can bathe or be refreshed 

 by the cooling breeze ever blowing over 

 these inland seas. The day is to con- 

 clude with a substantial dinner at the 

 hotel. There is one feature about this 

 place that keeps it refined and respect- 

 able. No intoxicants are allowed on the 

 grounds. 



There will be mailed shortly to all 

 members tickets for transportation as 

 well as tickets for the dinner. You can 

 go as early as you like, and return as 

 early or late as you choose, so let there 

 be a big turnout. We don't see much of 

 each other from one picnic to another. 

 September 5 will be the day to renew 

 acquaintance. 



Route to Dayton. 



The Dayton convention is next ii. jrder 

 and I am glad to say the attendance 

 from this city will be larger than we 

 expected. The route from Buffalo to 

 Dayton will be: Leave Buffalo on Sun- 

 day evening by the C. & B. boat, arriv- 



ing in Cleveland about 8 a. m. The pa- 

 latial steamers are equal in size and ac- 

 commodations to the famous sound 

 steamers, and a night ride over the bosom 

 of Lake Erie will be a most agreeable 

 change for those who have traveled on 

 the cars from Boston or New York. The 

 round trip from Buffalo to Cleveland is 

 only $2.50, berths extra. We should sup- 

 pose that many eastern men would avail 

 themselves of this fine lake ride, and 

 those wishing to secure berths can do so 

 by notifying W. F. Kasting, 383 Elli- 

 cott street, Buffalo, N. Y. Some may de- 

 sire to push on to Dayton from Cleve- 

 land. We shall expect to spend Monday, 

 August 20, in the city of Cleveland and 

 travel with the Cleveland crowd in the 

 evening on the Big Four railroad to 

 Dayton.

 world as Hettie Green, was a recent vis-
