Class Prophecy cont'd. entry and delighted us immensely. When the laughter had died down there came the blare of bugles as the trapese artists swung rout into space. As we gasped in anticipation and held our breath, ARCO, THE GREAT turned five sumersaults in mid-air before clasping his partners hands. Glancing down at my program my eyes bulged out and I nearly fainted as I saw that ARCO, THE GREAT was none other than POKEY NEILSON, my old school chum. Then into the spotlight came FEROCHIA, the lion tamer. Opening the door and cracking her whip she stepped into the cage to take charge of her lions. Never before in my life had I seen such a dangerous and thrilling performance. As FEROCHIA stepped from the cage, MURIEL grabbed my arm and started jumping up and down and screaming, It's DOROTHY!

Returning to the WALDORF- ASTORIA I leisurely ate dinner, and retired to my room for a rest. After picking up MURIEL, we rode by way of CENTRAL PARK to MADISON SQUARE GARDENS. The fight tonight was for the Heavy Weight Championship of the World. JERSEY JOE WALCOTT challenging the THE MASKED KILLER. The stadium was packed and the air was tense with excitment.
