stands were all crowded and the centre one filed

Band, with Levy at the front astOnlshed the natives
with his wonderful solo performances and all who
heard the music seemed delighted. This feature Of
the entertainment-which,b by the way, was first In
augurated at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds-has

of the race, was the favOrite In the pools, yet

he did. Major Aliens victory greatly delighted his
hackers, who thus pocketed "cords' of greenbacks.
