visitors were the sunken gardens at Car
field Park. the Indianapolis Motor Speed
way, the cabaret dinner at the Indian
apolis Athletic and Canoe Club, and the
theater party at B. +. Keith's. The lat
ter was thrown" by ROltare Eggleston.
Cliff Martin, being a Cincinnati coun-
Gilman, was in a hurry to catch the .
o'clock train last night, so that he could
be In the Red city in time for today 8
council meeting, but he was all out OF
luck. Lowry persuaded him TO go out
and take a look at the Speedway and
when they got him out there they sent
the driver of his machine back to Indi-
annapolis, leaving Cliff stranded and de
pending on the courtesy OF the rest Of
the gang to get him back on train time,
which they didn't.
When the cabaret singers started doing
their bit at the Canoe Club, Cliff admitted
that he was glad to be among those pres
ent, but he was sorry that he hadn't car
ried along a suit Of paiaInas and an
extra handkerchief and besides, he had
promised his three months old grandson
that he would be back last night.
Judge Spiegel of Cincinnati and Sher

traded their official dignity for a contin-

Doik Novario, Cleveland, entertained tho
crowd with some drop nickel here
music many times during the day.
