Notes of the Game.


One of the features of the game was
the fancy stock show put on by some

awarded to Miss Elizabeth Barr, who
sold over 100 tickets to the game. Miss
Barr worked" the street cars coming

The total receipts of the game were
about $3.50 The free list was suspend

bers of the teams paid so cents each to
get in.
