The Baseball Teams at the Picnic of the St. Louis Florists' Club, July 26. The first event was the 100-yard dash, twelve entries, won by A. Hartman, after a hard run with R. J. Windier; time, thirteen and a half seconds. Next -was the boys' race, 12 to 14 years, four entries, won by John Bentzen. Hop, skip and jump, nine entries; Fred M. Alves had a walk- away, his mark being thirty-six feet. In the little girls' race five started, -won by Alice Jablonsky. Eight single ladies entered in the next race. This was won by Eugenia Beeb. Running l)road jump, ten entries, Fred M. Alves first, A. Jablonsky second. The men's race, 50 years or over, was -won by J. J. Beneke, E. W. Guy second. •Only four tat men could be found, 200 iwunds or over, won by Carl Beyer. The egg and spoon race, seventeen entries, was won by Mrs. Carl Beyer. Potato race, eleven entries, Dora Miller and Adolph JSteidle being tied, they divided the prize, a box of candy. Louis Vogel -won the sack race for ooys. The tug ^f war had Beyer and Beneke as cap- tains, and after a short pull Beyer's side won a box of cigars. "Coming events cast their shauows be- fore them was the sign on the ball- grounds. The ball game between the wholesale and retail teams was the fea- ture of the outing. The wholesalers won the game in five innings by a score of ten to two, when the game was called on account of two of the Winning team, Fred Alves and Otto Bruning, getting hurt. When the umpires, Messrs. Am- mann and Guy, announced that the wholesalers had won, a large sum in stage money changed hands. The badger fight did not take place, owing to the badger getting away and not being found in the woods. The older folks left early, but the young people stayed until late, enjoying the delightful music and dancing. All voted it the best out- ing ever held by the club, and great credit is due our trustees for the manner in which the outing was handled. Notes of the Outing. Belleville was represented by E. W. Guy, Henry Emunds, Adolph Fehr, Gus Grosshardt and their families. Fred Ammann and his whole family came from Edwardsville. Herman Weber, who was catcher for the retail team, showed league form. Henry Berning, first baseman for the wholesalers, got to first base on a foiil and refused to return. Francis Fillmore, father of F. J. Fill- more, was the oldest florist at the picnic, he being 82 years old. Prof. Irish, of Shaw's Garden, came late and alone but said he spent an enjoyable evening. J. S. Wilson, of Western Springs, 111., said he never had a better time meeting old friends. H. E. Philpott, of Winnipeg, B. Esch- ner and S. S. Skidelsky got in just in time for the outing. Mr. Skidelsky put in good licks for the S. A. F. conven- tion all afternoon. The youngest florist at the picnic was Baby Braun, of Central. Jas. Dunford will know better the next time he gets into a crowd with Chas. Schoenle. George Schriefer and Fred Alves made a great battery for the wholesale team. R. Windt said the weather was not good for pictures, so none was taken. Charlie Juengle, Charlie Kuehn and their families were missed. The big storm kept them away. We were glad to see our old friends, Theo. Miller and F. C. Weber, among us once more. George Angermueller had the big crowd in good humor all afternoon with his funny hat and side remarks. Fred Foster, Alex Siegle, John Burk, Jabez Gadd and Adolph Brix were seen together most of the time. They were glad they came. The feature of the ball game was Adlea' home run. On three strikes he crawled home from third base, and was called safe by the umpire. W. C. Smith was a great favorite among the ladies. Smith is a great all- around man and plays any position on the team. Various Notes. Don't forget the Florists' Club meet- ing next Thursday afternoon. This is the most important of the year, the election of officers, the payment of an- nual dues and two important discussions by Messrs. Jablonsky and Sanders being on the program. This meeting will be held at our regular meeting hall, at Grand and Shenandoah avenues. One of the largest meetings of the year is ex- pected. On this occasion all members going to the S. A. F. convention at Dayton will please report their names to F. H, Meinhardt, state vice-president. The seventeenth annual Shaw banquet to gardeners, florists and nurserymen will take place at the Jefferson hotel, August 14, at 7 p. m. This is in ac- cordance with the will of the late Henry Shaw. The banquet comes early this year, owing to the Apple Growers' Con- gress, which meets here that week. The early date will give them a chance to attend. J. J. B. El Paso, Tex.—C. H. Kolle, late of Beaumont, has purchased four lots on Myrtle avenue, and will erect a green- house. Grand Forks, N. D.—E. O. Lovell is building a residence and greenhouse combined. The latter is connected as a wing to the former.
