MILWAUKEE, 



The Market. 



Considering that business during the 

 summer months of July and August is 

 expected to be rather quiet, everything 

 so far was satisfactory, but the last 

 week, especially from the wholesalers' 

 standpoint, was ' ' rotten, ' ' so they claim. 

 Beginning on Monday, all kinds of stock 

 of really good quality arrived in quan- 

 tity and, as there were no sales, it was 

 consigned to the dump next morning, to 

 make room for that day's shipments. 

 Bight along, good asters were scarce and 

 carnations in demand, and now, when 

 there is plenty of good stock, it simply 

 can not be moved. Just now, also, is 

 the time when the retailers with some 

 glass can easily fill their orders with 

 home-grown stock, thereby steering clear 

 of the wholesale man. 



Club Picnic 



With favorable weather, a good at- 

 tendance and fine arrangements, the Flo- 

 rists* Club's picnic, held Sunday, Sep- 

 tember 6, was a great success in every 

 respect. The first number on the pro- 

 gram was the baseball game between the 

 Ourrie and the Holton & Hunkel teams. 

 The score was 16 to 14 in favor of the 

 last named. After the ball game there 

 were doings for young and old. The 

 pjost interesting and exciting events were 

 the nail driving contests for ladies, and 

 the sack race for men. The results were 

 as follows: 



One-bundred-yaid dash tor men — Roy Currie. 

 first prize, a shaving mug; C. Wolf, second 

 prize, a cigar stand. 



One-hundred-yard dash for boys, 12 to 18 

 years — Alb. Brettin, first prize, military 

 brashes; C. Retzlaff. second prize, a knife. 



Seventy-flve-yard dash for boys under 12 

 years— D. Wolf, first prize, a printing press; 

 L. PoUworth, second prize, a deck ring game. 



Sack race — C. Wolf, first prize, a pipe; Emll 

 Equltz, second prize, a knife. 



Nail driving contest for ladles — Gertrude Som- 

 mers, first prize, a comb and brush; Minnie 

 George, second prize, a vase. 



Seventy-flve-yard dash for ladies — Minnie 

 George, first prize, a mirror; Paula Hunkel, 

 second prize, a fancy plate. 



Seventy-flve-yard dash for girls, 12 to 18 

 years — Lora Valora, first prize, a music roll; 

 Blla Holtz. second prize, a post card album. 



Fifty-yard dash for girls under 12 years^ 

 Gretchen Baumgarten, first prize, an inkstand; 

 Mabel Tbwartes, second prize, a sewing box. 



Much credit is due Gustav Eusch, of 

 the entertainment committee, for the 

 hustling he did at the picnic. 



Various Notes. 



The club meeting September 3 brought 

 out the regulars. A letter from the sec- 

 retary of the National Chrysanthemum 

 Society, asking for information in regard 

 to the affiliation of the local club with 

 that society, was to hand, but no definite 

 action was taken, and it was voted to 

 lay the matter over to the next meet- 

 ing — too muf'h picnic spirit prevailed.
