THOUSANDS IN GLEE
 AT LAYTON'S SHOW
 AND CAKEW ALK
Five Pairs of Prancing Darkies Contend For HOnors in
 Lively Program

Approximately 5000 jubilant spec tators applauded the victory of a pair of syncopated senegambians in the finale of the great cake walking contest at Sea Breeze Island last ev- ening. The largest midweek crowd of the season flocked to every available viewpoint about the big ball room to witness the unique spectacle and voiced it's enthusiasm in tumultuous applause for the efforts of the various contending couples
 The rag time two. known as Cou- pie Mo-. 5. .copped the cake. It was a dandy darky resplendent in evening dress, against a slew foot knight of the levee,, not such a dandy, but with more reeOurcefulness and more tricks to win popular favor.
 The Judges included William R. Hurley, the clothier; William B. Prem dergast, the insurance man; Leo Whalley of the Probate court; Will liam A. Tomlinson the plano mer- chant, and Messrs. l.. Wall, Neary and Garrity. They were in doubt as to No. 5 to add two minutes each to the program before they could satis- E themselves which couple was stronger in popular favor.
 The judges did not discriminate be- tween the dancers on their individual merits. but on the popularity of the contestants as echoed in the applause greeting their efforts
 The cake walks began with a plan- tation song with solo and chorus, then an ensemble dance number. and then the contest. Each of the five couples contributed variety to the production. There were acrobatic features, sing ing, dancing. tumbling, trick steps ga lore-all embodied in the program.
 Manager Clayton said today that he had received scores of inquiries as to when the next walk will be held but he himself didn't realize how highly popular the contest would prove until he witnessed the walk last night and for that reason he had made no ef- forts to secure entrants for another exhibition. He said he might arrange one a little later

 SAgain, the city auditor recently de- creed. and the city auditor upheld the decree, that no unapproprtated revenue can be spent without order Of the Common Council. Therefore Director COuntade is unable to carry out the orders of the Common Council The property owners on North Main street are indignant because the director cannot force the Beaches to make the desired improvement. They say they wouldn't have laid their side walks had they known there was no way in which they could have been compelled to do so. except to have the city make a special appropriationl
 One of the property owners de- clared that it was unfair not to have the remainder of that section of the sidewalk finished Why, there were BIO people by actual count who passed over the sidewalk in one hour last Sunday. Think of what this means on a sloppy day.

 The trouble arises from the neglect of Fred F. Beach and Mrs. Jennie c. Beach to lay sidewalks on their prop erty. Every sother property owner be- tween Westfield ayeriue and Savoy street has compiled with the orders of the Public works department and laid the sidewalks ordered several weeks ago. The Beaches refuse to do so. Ordinarily the procedure would be to have the Public works department go ahead with the work and then charge the expense up to them.
