for consumption.
One evening last week a snide
show struck town and by the liber-
al use of stale eggs they didn't seem
inclined to stay as long as they had
expected and got away with less
hard cash than is usual with such
concerns.

hibition one evening last week, but
as we have not heard any compli-
mentary remarks we are of the

very high complimentary order.

are going to fight it to finish be-

our private opinion that when all
the expenses are footed up that both
parties lost.
