here Thursday. The lot Mr.. Wagers

which is understood to be his inten-

A great crowd was present when
the sale of lots began promptly at
$3.50 o'clock. Following band concert
down town, a procession of automo-

west paid for which he paid $570
each.
Selling was done rapidly and no
time was lost in preliminaries. The
big crowd followed the auctioneers
carriage from one section of the big
tract to the other. The management
had arranged the lots in most attrac-
tive shape, and buyers seemed eager
and anxious to obtain them.
The ladies of the Pattie A. Clay
Infrmary board served monday
lunch in cafeteria style, and gave
everyone more than his or her
moneys worth for the best spring
chicken and old ham sandwiches and
other .delicacies. The weather was
warm with occasional clouds obscur-
ing the sun, but little prospect of
rain and the big crowd remained
right to the very end.
