"serred of all observers" lie failed to obtain the
chair formerly occupied by Mr.. Adams. Some more
fortunate gentleman, whose name was drawn out
earlier. took the prize When Mr.. Benton's was
called lie walked up to the seat nearly in front OF the
Sneakers desk to the right; but Immediately gentle
claimed it, having preoccupied and left his hat on
IL.
Mr. D. apologized, and went to another seat but sf-
ter some minutes the gentleman rendered him the seat
which was accepted Before the drawing commenced

made an exception TO the rule, and be allowed to Sc
