sisted through the throng by the considerate and
timely support of their cavaliers. Beautiful
young ladies went about soliciting "chances' to
all kinds Of fancy knick-knacks. Pretty little
misses offered "grabs," at very moderate sums,
In United States currency. Soda water, ice cream,
: lemonade. etc., wore in large demand. The regu.
