Another crop OF liars has been produced
since the races, and they can now take their
places alongside of Lying Tom James and Mic
awber shipherd. THE CRITIC discovered last
night in Its tour around the city All mon who
each had n Colonel Sprague ticket worth S70O.
Considering the fact that only three tickets
were sold, somebody was lying. THE CRITIC
nend was broke, and tried to borrow from one
OF the aforesaid All, but they couldn't produce
on call. Tom Ochiltree dropped in over 5000
ON Glenmore, and Clint Wheeler and party suf
fered a like loss on the old Maryland Glen

boys Will commence treading railroad ties ON
their way home next week.
