short time, and at 2 o'clock they start

pleasing one, as the expressions OF
delight were heard on all sides upon
the return to the castle hall. The au-
toEobiles went to the county fair
grounds and the third-notch limit was
reached on the elegant half-mile track.

way" said Supreme Representative

there" No session was held after the
