The quarrel last Tuesday ended with honors in fa- vor of Riccio, and Callelo, who had received terrific blow in the face, promised to get even. On Thursday night, after the stabbing.

It used td have quarters in the center of the city and from there on
 pleasant afternoons used to venture , forth. the members of the club ir uniform attire, to see how long they
