banks of the Ohio river and ten miles 

 above Cincinnati. All visitors will be con- 

 veyed to the park on the steamer Island 

 Queen, which is a mammoth excursion 

 boat, with a capacity of 3,000 people. 

 The river trip of ten miles is one of 

 great interest and beauty. Coney Island 

 is a pleasure resort of the first class, and 

 there you can find about every form of 

 amusement one can think of. It will be 

 here that the ball games will be played 

 and, besides that, there will be many 

 other special things that are now being 

 planned, of which we will say but little, 

 they being left as a sort of surprise. 



Tlie final arrangements for bowling 

 for both the men and the ladies have 

 been made. For the men the Grand al- 

 leys have been secured. There are eight 

 alleys, and they are the finest in this city. 

 In iact, they are the same alleys used at 

 the national bowling congress held in this 

 city last year, so you will know that they 

 are the best and regulation in every 

 respect. These alleys are located on 

 Vine street, a few doors above Twelfth, 

 ^his is just a trifle over two squares 

 from the exhibition hall, and consequently 

 quite convenient. The ladies' bowling 

 contests will be held at Heidelberg, Ky. 

 This is a beautiful spot in the highlands 

 of Kentucky, and about twenty-five 

 minutes' car ride from Fountain Square. 

 Here the alleys are of the same high 

 quality, and the general surroundings 

 will add greatly to the pleasure of the 

 ladies. It is now time for all those who 

 intend to take part in these bowling con- 

 tests to notify C. E. Critchell, 36 East 

 Third street, who is chairman of the 

 bowling. It will be conferring a special 

 favor on the local committee if you will 

 do this, as it will enable them to have 



everything in shipshape for the crowds 

 that we expect to handle at these bowling 

 contests. 



The shooting contests will be held at 

 the Dayton Gun Club, Dayton, Ky. This 

 club has a fine equipment, and everything 

 is of the best. Again, should you be 

 inclined to enter this contest, it would be 

 conferring a special favor upon the com- 

 mittee if you would at once notify the 

 chairman, Wm. H. Gardener, 128 East 

 Third street. 



The next meeting of the executive com- 

 mittee of the Florists' Society will be 

 held at the Hotel Sinton, Monday 

 evening, June 21. The following meet- 

 ing will be held June 28, at the same 

 hour and place. 



Various Notes. 



Joseph Linfoot is receiving the con- 

 gratulations of his friends, as he was 

 married last Saturday evening to Miss 

 I. D. Ross, of this city. 



William Murphy has just purchased a 

 motor boat, which he will use during his 

 summer vacations on the northern lakes.

The Market 



Trade was dull last week, there being 

 only a light demand for nearly all lines. 

 The present week opens with signs of 

 improvement and from now until the end 

 of the month it is hoped that business 

 will show a decided betterment. Roses, 

 outside of Carnot and Kaiserin, are get- 

 ting poor, although some fair blooms of 

 Killarney and My Maryland are seen. 

 Carnations are not in good demand, 



other seasonable flowers being preferred. 

 Prices have run as low as 25 cents to 50 

 cents per hundred on some days, but fair 

 stock averages $1, fancies making $2 to 

 $2.50. Yellow marguerites have a good 

 sale at $1 to $3 per hundred. Gladioli 

 sell fairly well, America making $1.50 

 per dozen. 



Bachelor's buttons make 50 cents to 

 75 cents per hundred and valley $1.50 

 to $3. Good sweet peas are scarce and 

 have sold as high as $1 per hundred. 

 Double peonies are now coming in quite 

 abundantly, prices varying all the way 

 from $3 to $8 per hundred. Some of the 

 earlies made as high as $1.50 per dozen, 

 but prices will show a marked decline 

 this week. 



Cattleyas are abundant at $4 to $6 per 

 dozen and sell slowly. Gardenias clean 

 out quite well. Other flowers have an 

 uncertain sale. 



Qub Meeting. 



The final club meeting before the sum- 

 mer vacation was remarkably well at- 

 tended at Horticultural hall, June 15; 

 over 100 were present. In place of a 

 regular notice a large number of queries 

 came up for discussion and filled up the 

 entire evening. These embraced a wide 

 range of subjects. "What are the best 

 rose species for massing effects, other 

 than Wichuraiana, nigosa and setigeraf " 

 elicited an answer that R. lucida, multi- 

 flora, spinosissima and blanda were- espe- 

 cially useful. Summer culture outdoors 

 of genistas was recommended in prefer- 

 ence to culture under glass. Vaporite, 

 the new remedy for cutworms, has evi- 

 dently not been much tried yet, but was 

 reported by one or two to be all that is 

 claimed for it. The San Jose scale was
