on so thick he had me completely flab- 

 bergasted, " a condition to which the 

 prolonged cheering of the audience may 

 have contributed. 



Among all the ■ faithful members of 

 the local committees who labored both 

 in season and out to contribute to the 

 success of the various contests, none is 

 deserving of more praise than Albert F. 

 Vick, chairman of the bowling commit- 

 tee. By personal solicitation Mr. Vick 

 secured the donation of thirteen of the 

 prizes offered in the bowling contests, 

 as well as substantial concessions from 

 the management of the alleys. 



E. H. Vick, who won a diamond pin 

 in the shooting contest, is the proudest 

 man in Eochester. He says he "hadn't 

 pulled a trigger in twenty years. ' ' 



THE OUTINQ AT MANITOU. 



Nearly a thousand visitors, local flo- 

 rists and persons interested in allied 

 lines, boarded the first cars for Manitou 

 Beach at 11 o'clock on Friday morning. 

 -Some 300 returned from the Vick seed 

 farm excursion just in time to catch 

 the last of the special cars, and nearly 

 every car during the afternoon brought 

 some who were detained in the city by 

 business. The florists' stores and Cros- 

 man's and Vick's seed stores closed 

 during the afternoon, thus permitting 

 all employees to enjoy the outing with 

 the visitors. 



Immediately after lunch, J. M. Keller 

 rounded up his ball team, and the after- 

 noon 's sports opened with a game be- 

 tween picked men from the S. A. F. 

 and the Eochester association. Here, 

 as on all other occasions, the Eochester 

 boys showed a generous spirit and al- 

 lowed the visitors to win by a score of 

 23 to 4. Edward S. Osborne, of Eoches- 

 ter, called the strikes and balls. The 

 members of the winning team were 

 C. J. Graham, Cleveland; Jos. Manda, 

 New Yjork; H. D. Scott, Buffalo; W. H. 

 Carney, Pittsburg; G. C. Shaffer, Wash- 

 ington; D. W. Ludwig, Pittsburg; A. 

 Swan, Philadelphia; C. W. Curtis, 

 Oliver Boucher, Eochester. 



The various sports were run off under 

 the direction of J. M. Keller, with 



George C. Crosman and diehard (i. 

 Salter as judges. The winners and

The eoniniittee in charge of the out-

 Keller and George B. Hart. The enter- 

 tainment committee included all the 

 officers and members of the Eochester 

 association, with a special ladies' com- 

 mittee consisting of C. B. Ogsten, E. E. 

 Fry, J. 0. Pridmore, W. T. Logan, 

 George T. Boucher and John House. 

 All worked well.
