iis now run tire really of cnoiif'h btMicfit 

 to the florists of this city to i)ay for 

 the time and trouble they cost. Tiic so- 

 ciety has been oblijieil to depend upon 

 the same persons year after year to 

 supply the money for prizes, and it is 

 beginning to bo an imposition to call 

 upon them any longer. Not only that, 

 but the club-room of the society hits 

 out-grown its usefulness as a place to 

 hold exhibits. In the first plsice it is 

 too small, and in the second the loca- 

 tion is not right to attract tiie I)etter 

 class of the Hower l)uying jtublic The 

 time is now ripe eitlier to drop the 

 shows altogether, or to hold them in a 

 more suitable place and in an ii|)-to-date 

 manner. This appears to be the general 

 opinion of all of those most interested. 



Flower Show. 



Last rhursday the fiist tidwer show 

 of the fall festival was held, and \V. K. 

 Partridge, who had a contract to make 

 the entire exlnbit. yave the public a 

 treat which will be long reini'mbered. 

 (Jroat crowtis viewed the exliibit all da\ 

 long, and they were well repaid for 

 their time. The collection of decorative 

 ])lants was fine, containing only the best 

 specimens, and there were many fine 

 and novel blooming plants as well. In 

 cut flowers there was an orchid tabh' 

 which showed some excellent blooms and 

 was much admired by the ]>ublic. Then 

 was a profusion of gladioli and other 

 tlowers in season. Oni; of tiie novel fea- 

 tures was .1 vase of chrysanthemums, a 

 beautiful, largo, yellow varietv. from the 

 E. 0. Hill Co. These were the first 

 mums to be seen in this city this sesi- 

 "son. A ^r^'nenil doi-nrati^e eft'ect was

Various Note*. 



E. (i. (iillett and family .spent a few 

 days in Springfield last week. 



It is rejiorted that President William 

 Murphy, who is spending a few weeks 

 on the (Jicat Lakes, lias been sick. 



The florists of College Hill who get 

 their water supply from the city have 

 been iiaving a hard time this summer, 

 several of them being obliged to haid it 

 from (|uito a distance. The trouljle ari.ses 

 from the fact that the new city water- 

 works system is not completed, an<l the 

 old one is inade(|u.'ite for the demands 

 made upon it. C. J. OllMKR.
