moved to the center of the floor while
the race was in progress.
Chairs and tables had been placed all
over the floor, each table having cards,
tobacco, ma,ches, etc, and this fea-
ture of the programme was one Of the
most appreciated by every one present,
as different kinds of card games were
INDUCED in during the entire evening.
