who made it an accompaniment to basket
parties. A short distance away dozens of
rowboats filed with laxative occupants
were brought close TO the shore to listen TO
ore or two OF the ten regular numbers on
the programme. After every number,
though, there vas a burst of applause.
Just before The concert began protests
