August j. Gloisteln bought pbonograph
with big brass meRphone attachment
several days ago. which he placed in his
saloon in Forty-second street.
Gus Anger, the scale judge Of the 0loistein
Fishing Club, induced Gloistein 10 buy Il.
About forty members Of the club wers
present yesterday afternoon at the regular
meeting Of the club, and Gloistein said
"Chentlemen, hat a dreedt for you.
Regular music py regular band, bud I'd

The mega phone attachment Of tho machine
was about Ave feet long. and when the
first selection was rendered the noise could
he heard half block away. The air was
not offensive TO the crowd, and Gloistein
WIS generously spplauded.
few minutes later, Pat Connolly, the
former mayor Of Poverty Hollow, who had
looked over the box Of records, discovered
record which was tagged The Rocky Road
to Dublin, by the SiTty-ninth Regiment
Rand"
"Begorra. said Connolly. "Oi amt heard
that chtne on a hand for twinty years
Anger said he would put the record in
the photograph; but Anger IL a practical
Joker and he put the record in the machine
backward. When the music started,
Connolly got up out Of his chair, and walked
nervously about the room.
"Begorra, he shouted sOi heard thot

Never mind, said Anger. @the machine
is a little out Of order, but We will now
play an old time melody, known as The
Suwanee River"
Anger put new record in the machine
and the chorus OF a quartet was heard
which sounded something like this:
'Away far, far, River Suwanee the upon
down way
The words Of the chorus were not we'll
understood by the crowd, but the music
made profound impression upon the
members.
-Begorra." said Connolly. 'Oi won't
chune like thot lAsht wan
Never mind said Anger, we will now
play The Wearing Of the Green"
Anger adjusted another record, and the
words came out in this fashion, accom-
panied by an orchestra:
Green the Of wearing the for too women
and men hanging they're, round gci7g

OH
Connolly jumped our OF RS chair and

"Wot are youse rlnnin' here, a lunatic

Keep Quiet gentlemen said Anger,

Pat Connolly, Pat Kehoe, the marble
yard man and Red Top Rye Soden were
IN brown study for few minutes after
the last selection WAS rendered, Then
Kehoe Jumped up and yelled;
"Oi understand IL all now
Kehoe made a mad dash for the ma
chine and in few minutes il was put out
Of commission.
A moment later policeman went into the
place and asked Gloistein II he had opened
up a boiler factory.
NO. said Gloistein, Il hat talking
machine here. / was chust playing a
little Wagner moosic py II. Dot s a swell
