winners are known to their respective delegations, however, and will demand return bouts tomorrow.
 l It was really the first test of strength, Speed and endurance between Kid Kleagle and Young Letts B Bread. In point of numbers young Bread ap- peared to have a big advantage.
 During the Colorado melee its stand ard was wrecked. The shaft was brok- en in half and the card with the Colo rado inscription lost in the shuffle. Colorado staged a second round during the McAdoo demonstration and again the Colorado" was terra firma the standardip the shuffle. It is a ques-. tion whether there are enough reserve Colorado signs to last throughout the session..
 The McAdoo demonstration was high light number two. It lasted 45 min utes and died of general exhaustion But Ex- Senator Phelan of California held up action. by what threatened to be non stop nominating speech.
 It seemed he would never stop. The delegates drowsed All except Califof mia, which was passing out hats, ban dana handkerchiefs and pink shawls for the grand bust. Chairman Walsh twice pounded the desk and rebuked the Cali fornia delegates for not keeping quiet.
 They were under the impression it was a masquerade. The California idea about demonstrations in that they can't be done without a makeup.
 f:o-~, Ial looked like the female figures in the French revolution woodcuts jumped up- on a chair and shouted Name your man and stop talking, name your man.. Senator Phelan is the soul of courtesy. He named McAdoo. And then the fun began.
 The Californians showed they had three things. The most beautiful girl at the convention, unlimited endurance and burning conviction that a nOmina- tion, we'll applied and nubbed thor oughly, will take the oil stains out of any candidate.
 The beautiful lady was. Miss Jose phine Norman. She was a living dem onstration- of the claim that California grows the best. Patricia Salmon came out of Michigan City a year ago into the Ziegfeld Follies. If Miss Norman doesn't go from the democratic conven- tion to the same ultimate destination all bets are off.
 Governor Smiths nomination and demonstration will take place tomor- row. It is doubtful he has anything as good as, Miss Robinson to put his over.
 Four lady trumpeters dressed in go-to- heaven clothes followed Miss Robinson, in the intense heat of the convention and the willing throng they must 'have felt bound the other way.
 Round and round the Garden they paraded for nearly an hour followed by state after state and vice versa. One thing is certain at nightfall. If Mc- Adoo doesn't get the nomination the ladies and gentlemen will be years for giving themselves for the lost motions.
 Senator Walsh, the anti-oil man, be- came chairman and delivered an hours speech under a hot sun in a high col lar. When he got through it was still high collar. This requires investiga tion, .E sa
 He was interrupted ,by frequent. ap- plause as he threw it into the c. 0. F. ignoring all 'use mo hooks" signs. Upon each occasion he resumed oiling with renewed vigof.
 P. S. The committee on permanent organization reported today. Nobody seemed to care. There was no report from William J. Bryan who is the committee on permanent disorganiza- tion.
 Forecast for Thursday: Hotter with light outbreaks of manslaughter.
