a wizards wand. 1t is disguised under a
maze Of patriotic bunting There is a
wealth of color woven into festoons and
draped in graceful folds. There is bunting
enough to lead the armies of the Union to
victory. Flowers lend their beauty to the
scene and ferns sway in sympathy with the
bazaar, Its patronesses and its cause In
the balcony the band-the Marine Band

enemy: that there was also one Of his ac-
quantances who posed as friend, but who
was not that there was girl who had not
adequately reciprocated his affection, and
that there was man who owed him some
money but would never pay him. The Star

Dixon and Heap manipulated the mimic
horses and made books on the races The
Marine Band continued to do it's best. It
was delightful evening.
