/ cOiOs Held-The Bellies Dance.
Seventeen rubberneck automobiles
bowled up Third avenue last night, pre-
oeded by the fire Of hundred Roman oan-
dies and followed by trail Of corks. Forty
times seventeen voters OF the city and county
Of New York, good men and right deal
right, whooped aloud for Florrie Sullivan,
by whose generosity they were riding free
to Suffers Harlem River Casino.
Florrie himself rode in an electric car
to show that he wasn't proud. The car
passed the procession In review, and Florrie
was recognized. Three intelligent, voters
fell of the rear seats Of the rubberneok
wagons in their haste to get Of and ride
with Tlorrie. The car and the rubberneck
carts reached the Casino at the same mo-
mont, and Florrie ran into 400 waiting arms
and 400 glad hands.
In this fashion did the Florence j. Sulli-
van Association proceed to Its grand mid
night festival, ball and fireworks display
In honor Of Its standard bearer, who was
marked officially by . badge which bore
his own photo button and tho designation
Of his high office.
Florrie himself opened the ball. He
approached the belle Of The Nghth-far
be 1t that jealousy should be stirred up
against her in the word by the mention
Of her name-and said:
This Ia yours. could just die waltzing
And Florrie glided away with the proud
belle draped over his arm. Judge Leon
Saunders and Senator Fitzgerald and
many another light OF the bench and bar
chose sub-belles and followed Even Bat
terry Dan Finn, who had brought rubber
neck wagon from his own district, and was
doing his best to repay the call which Flor
RE made on his party last week-even
Battery Dan waltzed.
There was free champagne out under
the trees-not for every ono, 1t 10 true, but
for those close in. II you enjoyed the
confidence Of Florrie and his leaders, you
could make, great impression on your
Dist district. -" It was right. The band which
footed for the waltz was raised In the dis
trct. 1t was dead right. Florrie is tor.
ribly fond Of piccolo music All sorts OF
men have come to him this week, telling
rie gave them all jobs on the band After
the first waltz, and when Florrie had as
sumed the throne in q DO. near Z the s middle mic.
We've got nine piccolo players and they
all want to play" said the leader;
well, chats all right said Florrie.
Cant have too much piccolo music. Put
EN- all in .,
The leader explained that 1t would spoil
the balance and things.
All right" said Florrie. Play EN- one
at time, then. But they're all on the
payrOll Iha. goes
So they had piccolo solos. duets and
trios, all on Florrie.
Pretty nearly everything was on Florrie.
The ladies who tried to buy admission at
the door were waved in and told that their
money was no good. 1t WAS on Florrte
Gorgeous bombs and sparkling star mines
broke and spouted from dusk n until mid MID.
oarorsel footed itself hoarse and circled
itself weary with voters OF dc Ate who
will begin to vote right about fifteen years
hence This also was on Florrie.
Because" said Florrie AZ he ordered
two more cotties sent over TO the legal lights
in the next box, because Pm here to make
'em enjoy themselves. Get that?'
