gathering IN Montague and n, adjacent
streets ard in twinkling after the Academy

with the exception Of the aisles which the
police kept closed
From that time on there was one constant
struggle between the police and the thou

frances in a compact mass, alternately
begging the police for admission and swear
ing when for the thousandth time the cot

one in the street and another in the Real
Estate Exchange, across the way. These
rere attended by the thousands who were
