It does iKit seem likely that business organiza- li(ins will, at least in the near future, ciijoy concessions in railroad rates when jdiirneying to their conventions. Well, who should worry? The rates lo Cleveland are not such as to keep any florist at home who has his busi- ness at heart. Anyone attending the convention who keeps his eyes and ears open will not give much thought to his railroad expenses; he will be glad he paid them and let it go at that. Both railroad and hotel rates are reasonable as we must look at things today, and the little change of surroundings for a few days is worth really more than we have to pay for it. Bowling Tournament. The Cleveland florists have all ar- rangements for our gathering well in hand, and every possible comfort awaits us, as well as a most hearty welcome. Members who are interested in bowling, and have in mind the splendid contests of past conventions, will be pleased to know that Cleveland florists have a fine tournament on their program of enter- tainment, and the evening of the third day of the convention, Thursday, August 19, is selected for it. So get down to your practice, all ye bowlers; you will need all your skill at Cleve- land. Don't forget your hotel reservations. Notify James McLaughlin, 421 High avenue, Cleveland, of your require- ments; he is chairman of the committee on hotels and will take care of your reservations. There
