sterilis, a sport from the wild Hydran- 

 gea arborea, which he hps been propa- 

 gating for a friend to whom it has been 

 known as growing wild at several places 

 in this vicinity for fifteen or more years. 

 One magnificent plant is known to have 

 attained a height of eight feet and a 

 diameter of ten feet. The bloom is per- 

 fectly white, changing at maturity to 

 a green almost identical with the foliage 

 in color. It is entirely hardy and 

 flowers from the last of June until 

 about the middle of August, and could 

 readily be forced for December and 

 Easter blooms. Ge Dale. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Splendid gladioli are coming in from 

 Rochester, and roses are slowly improv- 

 ing. There is plenty of material to sup- 

 ply the summer trade, which has been 

 the best we can remember in many years. 

 The aster is king just as present, and in 

 good demand. Lucky will the man be 

 who has them in two weeks hence. 



The Picnic 



Of course the chief event last fort- 

 night was the annual picnic at Fort 

 Erie grove. As the ferry runs at in- 

 tervals, there was no set hour for reach- 

 ing the grounds, and the folks arrived 

 on the installment plan. 



The principal event on the program 

 was the ball game, west side versus east 

 side. At the finish, the score was nine 

 to three in favor of the west side. The 

 battery for the winner was Eobert 

 Scott, pitcher, and David Scott (semi- 



professional), catcher; for the east, John 

 Weise, pitcher and Boettger, catcher. 

 If the fielders of the east had backed 

 up the good work of the battery, the 

 result would have been different. It was 

 pleasant to see such veterans as S. A. 

 Anderson doing excellent work on first 

 base. W. F. Kasting made a good 

 umpire, that is, for the east side. There 

 were threats to get a stone boat and 

 haul him to the lake, but on repeated 

 promises to be fair, he was let off. 

 Prof. Cowell made a phenomenal catch 

 in center field, and Mr. Sage, of Eed 

 Rock, Va., happened to get his 300 

 pounds of body in the way of a line ball 

 at third base, and the ball stuck there. 



Then came a short program of ath- 

 letic sports. Making no notes, we are 

 unable to truly record it. We can just 

 remember that the old man's race was 

 won by a short head by Mr. Sage; Mr. 

 McCarthy, of Lockport, second. There 

 were seven starters. In horse-racing 

 slang a head means the average length 

 of a horse's head, but in Mr. Sage's 

 case it is indefinite, so I will say two 

 feet. W. A. Adams won the hop, step 

 and jump; D. Scott, the long jumps. 

 A lady in black — very beautiful — with 

 two white hind fetlocks won the ladies' 

 race. Billy Greiver captured the half- 

 mile race, and Mrs. R. Boettger was 

 easily first in the one-leg race. In the 

 fifty -yard ladies' rolling race Miss La 

 Four won by five yards. An angular 

 form is a great disadvantage in this 

 sport. 



At the conclusion of the sports we 

 wandered to the bote', where we filled 

 several large tables, unfortunately not 

 all in the same room. When Lewis H. 



Neubeck, president of the club, called 

 for order, a rough count showed 100 

 present. The president reviewed the 

 history of our club, started in 1888 to 

 prepare for the first visit of the national 

 society, and said he thought these social 

 events did much to keep our club alive 

 and active, and then called on Old Man 

 Scott to say something. He related a 

 few chestnuts and gave place to W. F. 

 Kasting, who gave us a really sensible 

 talk. His theme was the benefit of 

 our national society, and he urged a bet- 

 ter attendance than Buffalo usually 

 turns out. Then we broke up, the prize 

 winners assembling on the veranda, 

 where the lucky ones received their re- 

 wards. The prizes were varied and 

 costly. No one worked harder to make 

 affairs go smoothly than Emil Brooker. 

 When business is on hand he is a host. 

 Charles Guenther and Prof. Cowell acted 

 ably as judges of the sports. 



The figure eight attracted many be- 

 fore we went home. It was a strenuous 

 one. If you had a lady companion in 

 the same seat you were safe by en- 

 circling her waist with a "catch-as- 

 catch-can" sort of hold. I noticed that 

 several of the older men saved their lives 

 by this pleasant method. We have heard 

 no grumbling, and all seemed to have a 

 good time. 



Mr. Graham, of Bradford, offered up 

 a thanksgiving prayer when we reached 

 the dock on the American side, for mer- 

 cies received and dangers escaped. The 

 waves of Lake Erie, perhaps in pre- 

 historic times, have deposited sand back 

 for several hundred feet. It's all sand 

 or plank walk, and in his prayer, Mr. 

 Graham wittily remarked that there was
