Astoria Florists' Bowling Cluli. On Sunday, October 17, the mem- bers of the Astoria Florists' Bowling Club were the guests of Wm. H. Sie- brecht at the latter's new country home in Chappaqua, N. Y. The party were conveyed from Astoria, L. I., to Chappaqua in Mr. Siebrecht's automo- biles and arrived at the country home In time for the noontime meal. After a hearty dinner the party inspected the premises and surrounding country and sampled everything which the country affords at this time of year, including some new sweet cider which was made for the occasion. The even- ing meal was enjoyed heartily by a hungry party of florists and some very fine toasts were offered. Among the toasts offered was the one which ap- pears below and which was heartily received and applauded by all. Music and singing was furnished both afternoon and evening and the guests all decided that the stay was much too short. The return trip from Chappaqua started at 8:30 p. m., and it goes without saying that a good time accompanied the members on the way home. Mr. Siebrecht is the president of the bowling club and has done much to make it the success which it has proven itself to be. This is the second year of its existence. The members who took part on this occasion were: John Donaldson, John Miesem, Alfred Bleckwenn, Frank Doerhoefer, Wm. H. Siebrecht, Jr., Pe- ter Jacobson, Philip Einsmann, Philip Kessler, Herman H. Lorenz, Henry B. Siebrecht, J. A. Shaw, Robert Ar- nold, Emil Anderson and William Bleckwenn. Here's to the Chappy or Chappaqua; Here's to his loving and lovable Frau; Here's to his Kiddies, 1, 2, 3, All of them look pretty good to me. The better the day the better the deed; Ours for the trip on our speeding steed— Ours for the journey that beats the Dickens. Ours for the land of the pies and chickens. Ours for the place where harmony stays, Ours for the eggs his pullet lays. Health we drink to the Siebreohts all, Papa and mamma and kidlets small. Grandpa and babies and Chauffeurs too. Long may they Hve I say—don't you? Live on these glorious, healthful hills. Where the air is pure and their beauty thrills, Far enough from the wicked old town Where the hustle and bustle just knocks one down. Here, snug and cozy, near Nature's heart. Far be the hour when this circle must part. Really to me. sir. It now appears I'd like to stay here a hundred years. So you will if your wish comes true and So we drink to the whole of you. Grandpa and mamma and pop and all. Long may it be ere the shadows fall. May you grow younger and handsomer too—• If it is possible so to do. Adding each day to your radiant health—■ Adding each hour to your growing wealth. And now to our lovable hostess and host We drink long life, while we drink this toast. "Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Torkins, "I have done something I know you will approve of." "Indeed?" "You know how annoyed we've been about the expense of automobile tires." "Yes." "Well, I have bought a rubber plant."—Washington Star.

There was a marked improvement in the bowling at the Bensinger al- leys last Friday evening, and the pin- getters are gradually rounding into form. The Violets, with Captain Bergman again in the lineup, took two games from the Orchids, and the Carnations took the odd from the Roses, placing the three first named teams in a tie for first place. The sensation of the night was Bergman's high game of 256, which hangs up a pretty nifty mark for the rest of the bowlers to shoot at. Carnat'ns. 1st. 2d. Sd.lRoses. 1st. 2d. 3d.
