ing the grounds, under direction of the Club
Committee and Mr.. Kinney, were handsomely
lighted up with several dozen colored lanterns
and a dozen or so powerful lamps in cases
and several torches. Colored lights were also
frequently burned by Hadfeld & Coulmar,
who also set off several small but pretty
pieces of pryrotechnics. All in all, the
festival was a success, and though the night
was very cool, the festivities were continued
until a late hour.
LIMBBRGER AND GARLIC.-Going out to
the festival at Richmond Grove last night,
there was one crowded car into which tan
colored woman, fat and forty-four, wedged
her way and fairly smashed sensitive young
man as she descended into full seat and
left half of herself in his lap. The night was
cool, and the windows closed. The woman
had made a dinner off of garlic and limburg-
er, and was one of the kind whose respira-
ton is a correct Indicator of the condition of
the stomach. The aroma of that woman's
breath as she painted from the exertion of
catching the car, conquered that young man,
and he bolted for the front platform. Then
her left hand neiehbor pushed open win
dow. The man on the right, and the man
over the way followed suit, platform space

mand, aud stranger to the situation
would have supposed the twenty
people all had nasal hemorrhage, ard that
the whole lot had high fever, judging from
all the open windows and the heads seeking
the cool air. Things got worse and worse.
The garlic machine took to belching, and the
ladies began to grow pale, while every
man in the car felt as if the bottom
of his stomach was about to turn
flip flop. All that prevented such catas-
trophe was the righteousness of the situation,
as nearly every one was bursting with sup
pressed laughter. The limburger suuburnt
woman never cracked a smile, but wheezed
away like a broken down odorless excavator,
until half the people were ready to yield up
to en- offended sense natures just tribute, and
one man did pay the tax. just be-
fore this happened, however, she
took the hint, pulled the strap
and rolled ont of the car, which Immediately
underwent such veatilating process as it
never before experienced. And then that
crowd laughed, aud roared, and shouted, and
was SO hilarious that passers-by verify be-
lieved the whole lot was on a spree. There is
not a particle OF exaggeration in this-the
only trouble is, it Is too true. People who
lunch on limburger and garlic preparatory to
a street-car ride will, on reflection, enjoy this
item.
