is not in position to decide. There
were seats in the lanai for about 500
persons, and the feast lasted from
$3.50 to $3.50. Then there was q
smaller lanai, holding from 100 to

relays on the average, there must
have been from 5000 to 1000 people,
who brought keen appetites to bear

was an animated scene on the grounds

Prof. Berger, played, with very shor
