The press committee on convention 

 matters states that: "Vice-Chairman 

 Fred Lautenschlager, of the entertain- 

 ment committee, has negotiations in 

 hand by which it is hoped to secure 

 Bavinia park for the convention outing 

 August 23. This is Chicago's most 

 select and delightful resort, located 

 about forty-five minutes' ride from con- 

 vention hall. Eavinia affords every ac- 

 commodation for a gathering of this 

 kind, and the attractions include grand 

 opera and Damrosch or Thomas orches- 

 tras in a charming setting with all mod- 

 ern appointments. Transportation facil- 

 ities are admirable in every respect, and 

 if the negotiations are brought to a suc- 

 cessful close, as anticipated, the visitors 

 may look forward to a most enjoyable 

 occasion. Envelope stickers and another 

 supply of shipping case dodgers will be 

 ready for distribution next week."

 town district was in charge of Mrs. 

 Emma B. Rathburn, of the North Side 

 Women's Club, and before noon the first 

 supply of 25,000 carnations, 10,000 



peonies and 15,000 sweet peas had been 

 disposed of to good advantage. 



The call for porch boxes has been 

 stimulated to a marked degree by the 

 new style of flat building with the 

 porch or sun parlor on the front. Each

 a place for three boxes. More of them 

 have been made and filled this season 

 than ever before.

 amusement park.
