Godfrey Price, basso profundo for

the first to recognize his genius.
In a few years the papers of the great
amusement centers Of the east will

been bestowed upon him here.

notes to his low. and from the low

that there is little likelihood OF con-

It is said that this has influenced
the democrats to choose Baltimore for

that it will make an awkward stu
