The New York Florists' Qub on its Fourth Annual .Outing June 29. an accomplished fact, and among tho directors are Messrs. Birnie, Daly, Stein- hoff and Lenker. The ultimate comple- tion of the long desired market buildinfr seems sure. Shares are selling at $10 each and an over subscription will be the next announcement. The wife of Mr. Moore, of Moore, Hentz & Nash, has' undergone a success- ful operation for appendicitis and is con- valescing rapidly at the Eoosevelt hos- pital in this city. Florists' Qub Outing. __^^^ Notwithstanding a cloudy morning the fourth annual outing was .i decided suc- cess. The threatening weather, the Slo- cum disaster, the absence of many from the city, illness, etc., combined to keep scores away, but a happy crowd of 200 enjoyed the day thoroughly and voted it the most harmonious and delightful of the annual celebrations. The attendance of children was very gratifying. Loui.i Schmutz, Sr., proved his loyalty by bring- ing nearly all his children and grand- children, and his youth by running and handspring agility and by winning one of the bowling prizes. It's a pity all the club's members could not make an equally practical show of interest. Thero should be no limit to the attendance at thia yearly festival, and next year a crowd of less than 400 will be discredit- able. By furnishing the novelty of an- other park selection and a $3 ticket for the unmarried men it can easily be accomplished. The prizes were all valuable and worthy of the efforts made to win them. The distribution on the way home made the most hilarious hour of the day. Near- ly everyone of the young folks were re- membered. Dancing at the grove and on the boat was enjoyed by the young people. John Birnie's children gave their specialties. The time passed too quickly, and not one in attendance hal anything but praise for the committee, whose efforts had brought about the per- fect arrangements for the day. Cleary's special race for a $35 suit of clothes was the most interesting of the day, with Siebrecht, W. B. DuEie, John Scott, Alf. Zeller, Louis Schmutz, Sr., Jos. Manda, Chas. Lenker and sev- eral other growers in it. The pots were placed five feet apart and covered 250 feet of space. Each pot contained a sealed envelope with a number from one to fifty. It was a novel struggle and everybody seemed glad to have Charley Lenker win, with a total of 170 points. Mr. DuEie received a severe blow on the eye as his share of the en- counter. The ball game was a triumph for the married men. If Clarence Saltford had not sprained his ankle the result might have been reversed. Julius Eoehrs, Jr., "ran like a deer," or a "dear" the la- dies declared. The champagne prizes to the winners, given by Mr. Nugent, were religiously taken home to be opened. Nearly every lady took part in the bowling match, for the handsome prizes furnished by President Traendly. Tho lady who won first prize this season, Mrs. Louis Schmutz, Jr., captured the booby prize a year ago. J. W. Beimels, Jr., started the con- tests and Harry Bunyard was omnipres- ent all daj', as usual, and tireless, hav- ing fully recovered from his illness. The handicap fat man's race was a fierce contest. Jno. B. Nugent, 222 pounds, and F. H. Traendly, 204, finished abreast, the award going to Nugent by a nose. The president won the 175- pound special, however, "pulled up" and strong. Few married ladies would admit over 40, but those who did ran like two-year- oldsi There were no unmarried ladies present over 25, so a special race was created for Jos. Millang's box of candy. It took a score of 81 in five frames to win Jno. Birnie's fine ink stand, and an outsider from Hoboken opened our eyes and secured first bowling prize with a total of 105.
