New York Restaurant Flooded In An
swer to Fake Ad.
Customers who visited the restaurant at
20 John street about O'Clock this morn
ing rubbed their eyes in establishment and
wondered II by mistake they had wandered
into q variety show OF the headquarters
OF ladies' bicycle club. All around the
desk OF the manager were pretty girls
dressed in the newest costumes of the new
woman" and all with serious faces on busi-
ness intent.
Bioumers of every shape and stockings
of various cUinrs developed their lower
limbs, and hats and caps were in keeping
with the other purtions of their costumes.
A few women with skirts were among
them. Most uf the girls had handsome
faces and good figures
They told Manager George W. kreis that
they had come in answer to his advertise
ment in n morning paper for biunmer girls
to act as mattresses in the restaurant The
women with skirts hasiened t. assure him
that they had bioomers on underneath their
skirts, and were ready to gu to work imtne-
diately.
Then Mr.. Kreis realized that some one
had been playing joke on him. He told
the girls that be had never seen the adver-
tiSement, which called for "eight young
girls with pretty faces, who must wear
blonmers," and that 1t was hoax.
The girls were very crestfallen as they
left. Several OF them had ridden to the res
taurd Mt on wheels. They rrmnHnted as fast
as they could and rode away.-New YORK.

reported that the opponents Of clean. wholesome
and honest racing say they are sure OF one Judge
who will decide their favor. the public will fo-
