presents we're numerous, from "Grave t.
Gay" some of them handsome and usefu

"A committee appointed at late meet
ing of the Rough and Ready fire company,
to solicit subscriptions to large race fund
to be contested for at st. Mary's Park on
the coming 4th OF July, was out yesterday
in pursuit of its business. 1t consists of
Ex-Mayor Thistlewood and Mr.. Herman
Meyers, who had, however, secured the as
sistsnce of Captain T. w. Shields. They
did good work the first day and expect to
