Notes
 Largest opening day crowd in the leagues history saw the 1946 inaug- ural card.
 The official opening festivities went of in regal style with a par- ade of players, officials and guests; raising of the flag by Treasurer John Rock; tossing of the first ball by Mayor John s. Monagan and music throughout the afternoon in Ebbetts Field style by a Francis Delfino dance unit.
 At 3:45 sharp, the line of march swung across the field to the martial strains of a well-played march. Heading the parade were Mayor Monagan. Sen. Patrick J. Wallace, Serge Belanger and Mert Connor. Other guests in line were James Corideo, Atty, Frank Summa, and John Brickel. Officers present were Pat Doran and John Rock. 
 Only incident to mar the pro- gram was the dropping of Mayor Monagan's official opening toss by Mert Connor who readily admitted that the Republicans never could hold the Democrats anyways"

The agent apparently accepted
the presence of the dog and made
no objection until the spring of
1945. Prior to the bringing of the
suit. the tenant was informed he no
longer could keep the dog and must
get rid of it or move.
The appellate court held that
while the oral testimony could not
be used to vary the terms of the
written lease, it was considered
admissible on the question of wheth-
er the landloard had waived the
covenant against keeping animals
in the apartment, and the evidence
"at the least, required submission
to the jury of the question whether
the landlord had waived the. cove
nant."
The opinion noted that mo con-
tention Us made that keeping the
dog constituted a nuisance. The
dog is described, without contradic-
ton, as small and we'll behaved and
now II years of age"
There was no indication that con-
sent to keep the dog was given on
express condition that it could be
revoked, it was pointed out.
The appellate court instructed
that new trial be granted, Mr.

Landlords who wish to enforce
covenants against dogs must not
wink" at the restriction one mo-
ment and then expect to stand on it
later. unless they have made express
provision for withdrawing the
waiver, the Municipal Court of Ap-
peals has ruled.
The appellate court reversed a

Shannon & Luchs Co., realtors, in a
suit for possession of an apartment
leased by Edward Stewart at 3002
Rodman street NV. claiming the
tenant had violated such a cove
nant.
Mr.. Stewart, through his attorney,
Herman Miller, appealed the ruling.
An opinion by Associate Judge An
drew M. Hood outlined the circum-
stances indicated by the, testimony
as follows:
Mr.. Stewart signed lease in 1910
which contained an agreement he
would not keep ANY live animals or
bords" without written consent of
the landlord. Before he signed the
lease, however, his wife told the
landlords agent that unless they
could keep their dog in the apart
ment, she did not want the apart
