hilarity to the occasion.
A platoon of Linsly Cadets made a
creditable appearance in line.

Many people turned out last night
with the expectation of seeing Teddy.
The Mckinley Gill Club of Bellaire
had the largest turnout of the colored
clubs.
There were fully as many Bryan
badges as Mckinley badges worn yes
