Bolwell estimated today.
The total registration for the nine
week term comes to 1,214, contrasted
with last years figure of 954. The

~ Harry, the Mauling Marsupial
4 4 from Down Under!
The camera caught Harry just after
he led with his left, crossed with his
right, and knocked out the straw hat
of Headkeeper William H. Blackburn.
Harry hoped about 20 feet to swing
that haymaker. The intervening wire
saved Blackburn a straighter punch.
After that Harry retired to his corner
and sat on his chair, which he also
uses as tail, or balancer, when in
action.
Isolated by Nature.
The Mauling Marsupial springs
from primitive family, one which
was isolated in Australia by rising
waters or sinking lands. He is of the
great gray kangaroos which stand as
high as man and bear young no big
ger than mice.
