walked around, carrying the Ameri-
can flag and Merritt ran around
with the Union Jack, the band
playing alternately "Yankee
Doodle" and "God Save the
Queen" and the dense crowd cheer
ing, whistling and clapping hands.
The frenzy seized the vast masses
of people in the streets, and their
responsive roar filed the Garden,
where the cheering was renewed,
when a grand floral piece-a shield,
surmounted by waving corn-was
presented to Rowell. 1t bore the
inscription "CharIes Rowell, by
the Albion SOciety.n 1t was car
ried in front of Rowel for several
laps. In few minutes the uprOar
seemed redoubled, when Merritt,
Hazael and Rowell, hand in hand
Merritt the central figure-walked

tent between 6 and o'clock, only
to reappear should Ennis or Krohne
