which the World has been giving to Presi-
dent Harrison TO maintain the regulation
distance between the conceutric circles OF
his head and his hat band might have been
very proftably followed by great many
other gentlemen il this city, but it seems
TO have been entirely thrown away. Last
night was an awful night on heads, aud

trous a day on hats at the Capt.
