The talk of boxing up Cleopatras Needle
or putting 1t under glass case in order to
preserve 1t from the action OF the elements Is
all nonsense The famous old mOnOllth will
weather many hard Winter and hot Sum-

Jay Gould takes a day OFF occasionally Just
the same as any other Woodworking citizen.
Al this season OF the year he is usually absent

Those who rate Col. Rob IngersnlI a lap.,,
yer solely upon the reputation he has made

up with tiger, siss, boom, ah-h," is calcu-
lated to arouse the cohorts Of the Steckler
Association to the widest pitch OF enthusI-

The giddy young men who array themselves
In gorgeous blazers, silken surcingles, tennis
racEets and other paraphernala OF the sum-

big retail stores, who get no summer vaca-
tiOn to speak OF, but cultivate a tan OF SUM-
day on the COney Island sands and parade
about the uptown avenues OF an evening to
their own intense satisfaction and the amuse-
Ment OF less ambitious Gothamites. They aIe
