the poor play the books have been re-

the grounds in impromotu conferences,
which resembled nothing so much as an
afternoon tea given by . society matron
right after the airing of choice piece
of scandal. Finally L. A. Davies came
to the fore with an offer to run the
meeting himself, put on the books and
give 500 purses for the events. Then
there was more discussion and each
