 Spurred to good natured rivalry through the incentive of many hand some awards, the players vied in good humor for the trophies for a full two hours. There were about 450 whist players and the remainder enjoyed pinochle. Dancing followed the card playing, while all evening the gar den of chance, the utility table, Re- becca at the we'll, the candy booth, and ice cream parlors, and other fea- lures did a thriving business.
