 Flows that?' said his friend.
 How is it? Why, it's this way and plain enough. The place where they play seats Ss,OOo persons and the re- ceipts on Thursday night amounted to over s65. coo, and the returns were not all in even then. Where are you going to get any circus or any opera house with $65,oOO crowd watching the show?

 "Sixty-five thousand plunks," said the other. Gosh. what lump of money. And that aint all, either.'
 .'I should say not" was the rejoinder. ''The spectators will get hold of at least 1000 tickets, and they will go all the way from s35 to slO. Then there will be the flowers and the dinners after the game and the travelling expenses. as some people go hundreds of miles to see the fun.'
 "Yes, and the little small bottles.' put in the other. "They amount to some thing. bet there'll be 10000 of 'ein on the fleld.'
