FLOWERS AT PAN-AMERICAN.
Charming Landscape Effects and
 Beautiful Floral Exhibits.

The Pan-Amerfcan Exposition at Buf- falo next summer will possess unusual charm for lovers of flowers and of beautiful landscape effects. Perhaps in recognition of this the members of the Society of American Florists have decided to hold their annual conyen- ton in Buffalo in 1901. Chicago was anxious to win the convention, but in view of the special attractions for it's members which the Pan-American Ex- position will possess it was decided to meet next year in the Pan-American city. The gathering will bring to Buf- falo about 1000 delegates and their families from all parts of the United States. The floral features of the Pan- American Exposition and its landscape effects will surpass anything ever seen before by visitors to expositions held in the United States. The laying out of the grounds was done with the view Of providing for such attractions, and
 ample space was left for courts and

 The thousands of people who visit the grounds where the buildings of the Pan-American Exposition are rising like a city created by magic see many things which indicate that the value of the vacant lots surrounding the Ex- position grounds for money making purposes next summer is duly appre- ciated For instance, one real estate dealer advertises like this: Gan you keep boarding house? Can you run a lunch counter? If so, here is your chance to make the most money" An other adyertises, "Choice lots for hotels, boarding houses, saloons, sum- mer gardens, restaurants, souvenir booths and other things by which you can make your fortune at the Pan American Exposition" All the vacant property in the vicinity of the Expos1- tion grounds is staked off and pla- cartetl by signs indicating it's value for purposes in connection with the big Exposition to be held in Buffalo next summer. and many buildings are al ready going up which will be used for accommodation for Exposition visit ors and all sorts of purposes connected with their entertainment.

Backed by solid home delegation and
with many of the delegates from the
neighboring townships pledged, Mayor
Roe came to the assembly convention
Wednesday with we'll founded hopes of
winning and had his hopes realized by
the result of the very first informal bal
lot which gave him 81 out of the 81 votes
in the convention.
A freak, or fool, or combination, per-
haps, of both, undertook Monday eve
ming to use the railroad track as a high
way and, with the proverbial FOOLS luck
drove with horse and buggy for several
miles along the track without meeting
accident and finally got away without
being overtaken or recognized by any of
those who saw him. 1t was Immediate
ly after the SIT train had left that a
man in top buggy and driving sorrel
horse was observed by bystanders at the
depot to turn off from Main street just
east of Roe's warehouse and shortly af-
terward the clicking of the wheels over
the switches indicated that the man was
driving along the track. Several pro-
cured lanterns and started in pursuit
but did not overtake the rig which con-
tinued it's way over the railroad bridge
and was finally lost sight of in the cut
above Turner's crossing. Some of Geo
| Nichols sons saw the rig and ran after
| it for more than mile, thinking it was
runaway. The tracks were traced the
next morning to crossing about mile
this side of McF arland where it was seen
| that the horse had been turned into the
road. Who the man was and how the
horse succeeded in passing the various
bridges and crossings without being in
jured by the cattle guards or getting
caught between the ties is a mystery.
