purchase her commodity. The blow was
so severe that Harry Allen. her victim.

AS an addendum to the athletic events
of Olympic Club day the grand fireworks
display was given last evening on the
recreation grounds. Where the athletes
had disported themselves in the afternoon
and had broken all kinds of records the
pyrotechpics scared high in the sky. A
number of novelties were introduced, but
the main feature of the display was the re-
production of the bombardment of Fort
McHeury. This was a realistic presenta-
tion of battle scene. The old fort was
the centerpiece. Men-of-war opened fire
upon the fortress, the guns of the citadel
responded and genuine bombardment
was kept up for several minutes. The
battle ended with an explosion. Then the
stars and stripes were hoisted in token of
victory and the band played "The Star
spangled Banner" An unusually large
number on the grand stand witnessed the
pyr0technics.
