graceful and elegant in her soft, white
gown with duchess lace, diamond

diamond aigrette nodding above her
tulle veil. Hon. George Won l.. Meyer,

been made. may be measured somewhat
from Mr.. Martins vote in comparison
with that of the rest OF the losing

in the contest, that this vote was pref

Martin, as well as the old board, had
won it's animosity by conducting the

the billiard rooms, the word was passed
around to knife him while supporting
the rest of the ticket. The result was
from &c to IS votes difference between
him and the others. Doubtless some
loss of his on this score was made up
by votes he secured because OF person
