opportunity of hearing him.
The boys and half grown men con-
tinue to make indecent exhibitions of
themselves near the Calkins beach.

house, or at least a building where
bathers may disrobe out of the sight of
ladies and children.
&c. W. Allen who was injured by

Gus, but has deemed it best to cali
counsel from Chicago. Mr.. Aliens
many friends hope he may be about
AGAIN in a few davs.
