tleman failing to abide by the above
rules and failing to bring a basket must
pay so cents and pay whatever fine
imposed upon him extra for the coffee;
otherwise coffee is gratis with each
basket. There will be two handsome
prizes given, one for the handsomest
and prettiest arranged basket, with
eatables included" and one for the
basket bringing the most money or OBJ
tanning the highest bid. After the inner
man is satisfied dancing will follow.
