 ors. a new lobster jialace has been 

 opened, and the sceii(> ot' the festi\ities 

 .\o\ember in \\as the led room on the 

 nineteenth floor of the Hot<d i^a Salle, 

 .\t the round tables, each seating- eight. 

 wei(> maii.v congenial parties, number 

 ing all told 200, about evenly divided 

 between guests .'ind members of the 

 club. To most of those present the 

 ch.'inge from the older hotels afl'orded 

 .a pleasing novolt.v, and the repast, ser- 

 \ice and :ill concomitants were of a 

 charactcM' which gave the committee 

 every reason to be satisfied with its 

 choice. 'J'he menu was as follows: 



Blucpoiuts

Cronm of Tomatoes 



I'iltt of Wliitotish. an Viii Ulani'

W. X. Pudd was toastmaster, but the 

 committee did not afford him the usual 

 free pla.v, for a \aiide\ ille entertain 

 ment h:ul l)e(>n araiiged for, which oc 

 cu|)ied a good share of th(> time, (ieorge 

 .\smiis was introij'^iced as the Pooh Bah 

 of the craft — the m.an who holds all 

 the offices- manager of the flower show. 

 |iresident of' the florists" <'lub, and 

 president elect of the S. .\ . I'\ In con 

 1 lulling his t.'ilk Mr. Asmus urged co- 

 oper.-ition for the nalion;il llower show 

 ,'ii liostoii and gave it ;is his opinion 

 thai if a ^luiiig convention is tried bv 

 the S. A, \\ it will please so W(dl tll.'lt 

 the time ot' meeting will lie regularly 

 I'liaiiged. (Ither s|ieakers were \V. F. 

 Pasting, treasurer of the S. A. F.; J. F. 

 < owtdl. of P.uffalo; .Adam (irahani, of 

 Cleveland; Prof. .1. C. Pdair, of Prbana; 

 I'. .1. Foley, of Chicago; II. W. Buckbee, 

 lit b'ockford. III.: C. P. Washburn, presi 



dent of the Illinois Plorists' Associa- 

 tion, and II. P. Dorner, secret.ary of the- 

 S. A. P. Alternaling with the talks 

 w<'re the acts ot' the vaiidevillians. 

 Toastmaster b'udd called for (Jhairmun 

 A. c. Kohlbrand, of the banquet com- 

 mittee. ;iml that versatile gentleman re 

 spoiided with a (iernian dialect story 

 tliat beat the work of the professional 

 performers. The other members of the 

 l)anquet committee were Fred Pauten- 

 schlager, 1). .\. P'obertson, Alex. Heniier- 

 son and W. N. Eudd. 



The bowlers of the Chicago Florists' 

 (lull gave a dance at the Coliseum an- 

 nex, for tli(» trade visitors, on the even- 

 ing of Xoveinber IP About fifty couples 

 were present and the affair was thor- 

 oughly enjovable. It was largely in the 

 hands of T. C. Yarnall, chairman, and 

 .\l!ie Zeidi. secretary of the bowlers' or 

 ganization, with many al)le assistants. 

 A feature of interest was that the 

 music was furnished by B. Zima, who^ 

 ill addition to being a florist on West 

 Twenty sixth street, is the leader of a 

 first class orchestra. 



The Visitors. 



.\s with the general attendance, the 

 number of tra<le visitors was possibly 

 not (piit<' u]) to the r(>cord of recent 

 years. The names of the florists pres 

 eiit the first two days aj)peared in 

 The Keview for November 10. Those 

 who appeared on the scene the later- 

 days of the show included the folhjwingr.
