was decidedly better.
The grocery houses say that busi-

trade, but naturally attribute this to
increased need of supplies for the
number Of visitors during the Tour

The hardware stores think that
business has been about the same as
ordinarily, there being, perhaps, a

The shoe and clothing houses have
