likely to see again. Saturday nights
ball at the Waldorf. under the auspices

music. the way it began. 1t started
with all the dramatic preparations for
election and everyone grew very much

Inside Madison Squaree Garden, after
the S. p. c. A. had been STAYED off by
an injunction. the rodeo went merrily
on. Cowgirls rode standing in the sad
die, or swung around beneath their pom
