was enjoyed. Ttis club sets a pace no 

 other in this section seems able to fol- 

 low. 



H. H. Jahn, Brooklyn, reports several 

 elaborate wed.lings in November, a 

 house and church decoration for Judge 

 Hard, and November 17 a yellow mum 

 'lisplay at the Mohawk hotel. 



Alex. McConnell's big store in the Ar- 

 cade on Fifth avenue never looked gayer 

 than now. Weddings have been numer- 

 ous and the outlook is bright for a rec- 

 ord ?oason, he says. 



The New York Bowling Club, with 

 Kobert Berry as captain, began its fall 

 and winter session Wednesday, Novem- 



ber 17. Tliey will roll every Wednesday 

 evening during the season if any inter- 

 est develops. J. Austix Shaw. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Horticultural Society took place at the 

 American Museum of Natural History 

 November 10. In the absence of the 

 president, Patrick O'Mara acted as 

 chairman during the business portion of 

 the meeting. It is desired next fall to 

 give an exhibition larger than the one 

 just closed, and to carry this through 

 successfully it is necessary to increase 

 considerably the membership of the so- 

 ciety. At the conclusion of the business 

 meeting a paper by W. H. Waite, one of 

 the most successful growers of the 

 chrysanthemum,' was read. 



George L. Freeman, Holyoke, Mass., 

 reached New York November 12 in com- 

 pany with John F. Murphy, on his way 

 home from a trip into South America, 

 collecting orchids, of which he brought 

 back more than 4,000 pieces. While in 

 New York Mr. Freeman foil into the 

 hands of a reporter for the Evening 

 Post, who made so readable a story of 

 his adventures that it occupied a full col- 

 umn of the front page and carried over 

 more than a column inside. 



Woodbury, N. J. — The boiler room and 

 packing house on the truck farm of 

 Lewis C. Duncan, near this city, were re- 

 cently destroyed by fire, and one of the 

 greenhouses was also badly damaged. 

 About $2,000 worth of vegetables was 

 ruined and the total loss was estin^ateil 

 at $5,000. Mr. Duncan was temporarily 

 prostrated by the nervous strain.
