Grand Centrals last night wiped UP
the earth. or floor. or alleys. or any
thing ana everything there was to be
wiped up. with the Royals in the Dis

Meany's aggregation treated the
Royals to a royal trimming in three

So scfntillating were Eiker's efforts
that they absolutely prevented Bill
Rider making his usual address on "A
