Most Of the delegates were in their
seats when the convention got down
to serious business at 11:13 o'clock,
but there were many vacant spots
in the big galleries. Following the
prayer the delegates SAT quietly
while the orchestra IN the gallery
played Rock Of Ages.
At the conclusion of the hymn
Chairman Harding said.

About the middle of the eighteenth century the character of pnntomimr performances was completely altered, chiefly because of the genius of thf famous Grlmnldi. who made the clov the first figure in the pantomime.

Curious Golf Shot.

The late lord chief justice, Lord AL verstone. being one of the judges at the Birmingham assizes, in the inter vals of business had several rounds of golf on the Edgbaston links. On one of these occasions he was playing with the local professional and got rather badly bunkcrcd at the second kole.
 It was necessary, in order to get the ball out, to make it rise almost per. pendicularly into the air, and for this purpose Lord Alverstone, or Sir Rich. ard Webster. as he then was, took his niblick and made mighty stroke. No conjurer on earth could have done q trick more neatly. The ball not only leaped into the air, but dropped us clean as a whistle into the judges baggy right hand pocket! - London Mail
