relieved by Blk Donnelly. An err
ror by Jones contributed to the
carnage as the Pirates sent II men

ing of ''barroom" is not used, pub

The French place the accent on
the second syllable, which is nasal

English pronunciation is: suh-LON.
From the French word salon we
have the English word saloon,
which is identical IN meaning with
the French salon: IAN elaborate

America in the old days, barrooms
were known by the high-sounding
title of saloon bars" saloon having

Toggenburgs are the most popu-

half liter which is the minimum
sold, costing much more than goats
