DO YOU REMEMBER

Well Turf fans, the time is

soon now at the Aksarben track.
You hear argument Pro and
Con about beating the races. Well
my argument is you can't beat no
kind Of game specially if it is
the other fellows game. I have
played them all and you have as
much chance at the races as you
have playing any game where
the shekels involves. / noticed
quite a number of horse players
at the track last year seemed to
be doing nicely for themselves.
For instance, Mr.. Ashcraft, and
Mr. Galloway. Both of these gen
tlemen and numerous other and
the Ladies | noticed at the pay
off windows was 3 to l as more
than men. The fair sex can beat
the men picking them because
they play the one thek like and
the men figure the form sheet
and hunt for someone to tell them
of their selections. Mey folks al
ways try to beat the price. Ladies
don't care about the price just so
her selection comes where she
played it. Here's your winners for

Henry Armstrong lightheavy and

finest victory of his career in Madi-

classy Davey Day 2 minutes and
10 seconds of the II round. No

children to be watched without the
watchers being detected - unless
they burst into laughter or make
loud comments, in which case they
are shushed by an attendant con-
stable while the quints gaze curi-
ously in the direction of the noise.
Showings May End.
These playground showings will
continue this summer, but may end
next year. 1t all depends on when
or whether the guardians Dr. Dafoe,
Olivia Dionne, Judge J. A. Valin Of
North Bay and Percy d. Wilson, off,
cial guardian for the Province Of
Ontario) carry out their expressed
intention of getting the entire FAM
lily under one roof. When that hap
pens, the quints may not appear
before the public at all, because both
DR.. Dafoe and their parents feel
that, as they grow older, they will
become increasingly aware of OBJ
servation and must not be subjected
to it.
Rumor has it that, before long,
the French-speaking Language AS
sociation of Ontario will back the
parent Dionnes in another effort
to have DR.. Dafoe removed as the
quints' physician. They are opposed
to him because he is a Protestant.

Ice cream Of a couple Of fruit
davors goes with the cake.
Speaking, Singing Improved.
DR.. Dafoe is emphatic in stating
that the quints would not be their
husky selves If their tonsils and
adenoids had not been removed six
months ago.
"One or two would probably have
died during the winter" he said.
Certainly the removal of adenoids
has improved the quints' speaking
and singing, which previously were
on the nasal side It has also largely
cured them Of "mouth-breathing,'
although they still forget and open
wide their little mouths when greatly
interested-as when they went call
ing on royalty.
The quints are being shown to
the public only half an hour daily
from 10 to 1890 am, but, when
the summer tourists begin to come
there will be an afternoon showing
as well. So far, what with a late
spring and the counter attractions
Of the royal tour and the New York
Worlds Fair, the quints have been
getting only 200 to 300 visitors a
day.
Since the playground was opened
in June, 1886, approximately one
and one-quarter million persons
have seen the quints at play through

cream. but they're more interested
In asking: when can we go on the
train again? When can we see
those nice people again?"
Their birthday Is being celebrated
very quietly. Well as they are,
DR.. Dafoe thought they had had
enough excitement for one week.
So their only visitors are their
parents and their brothers and sis
ters-just four Of them, since the
three eldest are back at Roman
Catholic schools in Quebec after q
! brief, vacation which took them to
Toronto for a glimpse of King
George and Queen Elizabeth.
The quints are receiving presents
of toys and dolls from Mr.. and Mrs.
Dionne and from DR.. Defoe. The
family will sit down to an afternoon
birthday feast Of angel cake, with
i've pink candles topping it, but none
of the customary birthday trinkets
in it. "They might swallow them, II
said DR.. Dafoe, "and we don't take
any chances with. these babies"
BY special dispensation, however,
the cake is iced-with plain butter
icing, first ever to be tasted by the
quints.
That won't hurt them," observed
DR.. Dafoe, "but they're not getting
candy. It's not on their menu yet"
