There could be no end to all the reasons: but because he is preeminently a man in whom is preserved the ideals of our fore-fathers, in whom is reflected the chivalry, the loyalty, and the scholarly aristocracy of our Washingtons and Jef-fersons, in combination with a genial sense of humor, the Senior Class deems it a privilege to pay this tribute of honor and esteem, the dedication of the 1924 Fricassee to MR.

State of Louisiana vs. Paul Peters One of the most important events of the second school term was the mock trial staged by the I 1 -2 Civics Class. The case was a criminal one. in which Paul Peters was accused of killing Jules Roux. District Attorney Brown attempted to prove that the accused had murdered Roux in his apartment, but his arguments were rendered void when Clifford Storey, attorney for the defense, in a clear, concise manner, proved that Peters had an alibi. TT� e jury favored Mr. Storey and brought in a decision of acquittal. Hi-Y Clubs in the Baton Rouge High The Hi-Y Club at B. R. H. S. was organized and had its first meeting on March 2nd, 1924. At this meeting officers were elected and plans were formulated for putting on a clean-up campaign within the school. The officers of the Club were as follows: Rhodes Harrell, President W. H. Tillman. Vice-President; Rem-bert Stearns. Secretary-Treasurer. Committees were appointed to take charge of the different parts of the campaign. The campaign was very successful with the students and civilians cooperating greatly. Two weeks later plans were just about fitted out for the trip to the Southeast Louisiana Conference at Bogalusa for the elder boys of that District. I he trip was enjoyed by all who went and was very instructive and also very recreative. Bryan Clemmons was placed on the nominating committee and succeeded in getting two Baton Rouge boys on the nominations to be brought before the Conference. One was defeated the other was elected. Stearns, of Baton Rouge High School, was elected reporter. The Baton Rouge Chapter had by far the largest percentage in attendance; the home group doubled that of any other club. The next active move of the Club will be putting on a campaign against anything wrong that might be committed by State Rally contestants. We hope to put on many more campaigns against bad things and hope that the students of the school will cooperate with us in every way possible, and we hope that a new club will be established next year.

Claire was one of the most popular members of the present Senior Class. She was a good, steady student and a much beloved member of the S. F. C.’s. Her sweet disposition was one of the things that made her so liked by both the faculty and the student body. The boys participating in athletics will always remember and appreciate her staunch support of their efforts in all activities. It is better to have loved and lost. Than never to have loved at all.” B.R.H.S HOLIDAY SPECIAL CHLOROFORM PUBLISHED BY THE INMATES OF THE BATON ROUGE HIGH SCHOOL JINGLE BELL Voi. One Quart LIP ROUGE, LA.. DEC. 21. 1922. A. D.

I’ll tender a guess it’s Dorothy Bourgeois. Girls are named Gloria, Girls arc named Phon, But our wittiest girl Is just plain Leah Kalin. The one who is thoughtful and never mean Well, we’ll just mark the name of Dot Rubcnstcin. Some have heroes like Hart or Farnum— But our heroine, we’re all agreed, is Hazel Barman. Who is the smartest, will study without a mutter? Our tallest. I’ll say. who is Sylvia Elguttcr. Who is your sport, you try to trick on? O that’s Ethel! Ethel Dixon.

For several years there has been one of the best coaches that this state affords at the head of our football teams.

May his future be even greater and even brighter than his past. B.R.H.S Football Review, 1923 From all angles, the 1923 football season at Baton Rouge High was a great success. The Bulldogs played through a season second to no other high school in the entire South! Out of eleven games, the Bulldogs won eight, finishing the season with a percentage of .728. During one period of seven days the Bulldogs played three games and won them all! Many stars were developed this year at High. “Stonewall John Walls knows no superior in the South as a lineman. John was picked for all-South guard. Bango was picked for an all-South end. and Roberts made the all-Statc left tackle. Other letter men were: Captain Russel Kleinpeter, the Fightin’ Cap’n; Wallis, guard; Babers, guard; Gill, guard; Abraham, end; Dusty” Harrell, halfback; Pierson, halfback; Keller and Clemmons, quarterbacks; Jake Miranda, fullback.

BASKETBALL REVIEW, 1924 Since the leather sphere has been laid away and the knee pads and other basketball regalia have been packed in tire well-known moth balls, it might be well for us to look back to see what the game little band of Bulldog basketball warriors accomplished during the season ending with the recent victory over Ponchatoula High School. From the lime Coach Young called tin. men out lor their initial workout, things looked none too promising. The first call for candidates revealed the fact that not a letter man from last year reported for practice. I his, in itself, was enough to discourage most coaches. On further investigation it was found that very few of the men had even gone out for the team before, and also that the average weight of those who did report was only aoout 130 lbs. This looked gloomy indeed for the Old Gold and Green, but the amiable Bulldog coacn was undaunted, and he went to work with a vim to mould his green men into the best team possible. The only redeeming feature of the whole set of candidates was that, although light and inexperienced, they were very fast. On account of the shortness of the season, the Bulldog quintet were forced to jump right into battle with little preliminary preparation. They, of course, started olT by playing tire usual set-ups. defeating their ‘‘kid brothers, the Junior High School, in the opener. This was followed by a game with the L. S. U. Freshmen which the Bulldogs lost only alter putting up a valiant fight. The next game was another victory for the locals, the wearers of the Old Goid and Green defeating Port Allen High in handy fashion. In the succeeding game our little band of cagers were called upon to prove themselves prizefighters as well as basketball players, which they did in a most capable manner, defeating the Wild Bulls of Walker High School 21-12. In the following game the B. R. H. S. representatives had a walkover, defeating Port Allen for the second time—whitewashing them thoroly by a 24-2 score. Next came our first real hard game against high school opponents, the game with the champion Denham Springs five. Although the Bulldogs battled from the opening whistle to the final second of play, they were outclassed by the fast and accurate Denham Springs cagcrs and lost 30 to II. Close upon the heels of this was the Bunkic series which was divided. Bunkic won the first game in a hard battle, while in the second game the Bulldogs came into their own and won by a nose. I he only road trip, the one to Jennings, was next. Although playing a fast game both nights, the Red Stick boys were forced to concede both games to Jennings, the score being a close one in each case. The Bulldogs celebrated their home-coming by another victory’ over their neighbors. Junior High, by a dice score, 7-11. The game was followed by a two-game series with Zachary. The Plainsmen copped the initial contest played amid the fields and tree stumps of Zachary, in a walk, but game No. 2 proved a terrific battle in which Zachary barely eked out a victory. The final game was with Ponchatoula on their court, and it proved a fitting climax for a fairly successful season from a Bulldog standpoint, for our representatives won 18-16. Considering the fact that Ponchatoula held our arch-enemy, Warren Faston, to a 2-point margin of victory; and as Boys’ High soon afterwards won the championship at the Loyola tournament, our team ranks pretty high. The letter men arc: Capt. Powers, Doiron, Aby, Tec-Tcc” Harrell, “Spec Harrell, Storey and Tillman. I hey will be awarded gold basketballs in the near future. The Season’s record is as follows: Won 7 games Lost 7 games Percentage of games won.............................500 Pace Sixty-Seven B.R.H.S I .OUIS Mr. Younc.........Coach Mr. Young is a graduate of L. S. U. where he was a star track man and also captain of the 1923 team. Resides this he holds the Southern pole vaulting record. This year was his first at the coaching game and he was pre-eminently successful with the basketball team. He is expected to return next year. Capt. Powers .... Center SLEEPY Powers worked hard and earnestly for his position on the team and he was rewnrded by his mates by being elected captain. and well did lie fill the position for which he was chosen. Nothing sensational was expected from him. but when he got his hands on the ball, one never worried but that it would land in safe territory and no erratic play ever resulted. He will graduate this year and his loss will be sorely felt. TEE-TEE This is another one of those famous Harrell brothers, all of whom are good athletes, and he is one of the best. This was his first year at basketball and he certainly made good with a bang. When he first came out for the team, everybody said that it was a foul-ball because he was so small, but Tee-Tec” went to work with a vim and showed all the knockers that they didn't know their apples. He was high scorer for the season and his playing w a s sensational in every game in which he participated. His greatest feat was when ho helped to hang t h e crepe on Ponchntouln’s Gymnasium door by scoring six field goals. He will be back next year and much is expected of him. Doiron.................Forward WARREN This is the lad who was uncovered at Junior-Hi, and as a boy with a fighting spirit de luxe: he is the berries. His wicked shooting and neat floor-work always kept the Hulldogs in the running. He is a Freshman and has several more years to help make basketball history for the Old Gold and Green. B.R.H.S. Page Sixty-Eight Storf.y Forward TOTSIE1 Clifford i� a veteran from the last year's team on which he mad« a groat record. He has played in most of the games this year, and in every game his spectacular shooting was keen stuff. Storey graduates this year and his absence will he Kreatly felt by the wearers of the Old Cold and Green.” Guard CROW HOP This southpaw was one of the most reliable players on the team. He was very fust and his guarding was always of the highest type. Aby started the season with very little basketball experience under bis belt, and he proved a hard worker ami soon developed into a remarkable player. His great lighting spirit was an invaluable asset to the t c a m. Charles has another year at High School and he is expected to set the woods afire with his playing. I .awhence Harrell SPEC Guard Spec was converted from a forward into a guard and he showed far more ability in his new position than anybody had hoped for. Every game was characterised by his liercc guarding as well as his great pass work. His long shots were remarkably accurate and usually found their way to the has. ket. It was his shouting that put the last. Itunkie game in the refrigerator for the Hull-dogs. He also will return next year. Tillman Guard FATTY This Sophomore guard was a lirst year man and greatly impressed everyone with his do-or-die spirit and no one doubts that he will prove a valuable m a n for the Old Gold and Green In the future. Although not a regular, he distinguished himself by his hard fighting in every game in which he played.

On April 6th they met the championship team from Bolton High and decisively refeated them, 86-45. The Bulldog tracksters broke three state records in this meet. The 440-yard dash record fell before the efforts of “Dusty” Harrell; Rcdus Day broke the javelin record by some 6 feet; and the relay team smashed the record by 8 whole seconds. This team was composed of R. Harrell. R. Day, C. Aby, and Lawrence Harrell. J he team is made up of Captain “Dusty” Harrell, Aby, Day, Louis Harrell, Lawrence Harrell, Bango, Lambert, Gable.

Boys’ Physical Education Under the guiding of Prof. Ernest Shirley, boys’ physical training has taken a gieat part in the school life of all the boys at High this year. Mr. Shirley had classes all during the year during the afternoon hours. Many a lad has added several pounds weight to his person or has grown an inch or so taller through the unceasing efforts of Prof. Shirley. Girls’ Physical Training The girls of High are going to enter a team in physical training in the State Rally this year. This contest, while the same in one way, is different from the past contests in the fact that only girls’ teams will compete this year. If coaching will help any. then High has already won. Prof. Shirley, the good-looking physical instructor and our own Hickey” are the coaches. What they can do with the girls is a well established fact; it’s up to the girls. 1 he members of the rally team are: Louise Hutton Fay Flowers Ruth Kroenke Stella Davidson Marguerite Ney Rose Landau Frances Himel Helen W’f.ilman B.R.H.S Effie McQuaid Mayme Thibodeaux Janice Rubenstein Doris Rubenstein EDWINA I -AGENBACKER Beulah Dunn Elyrea Boue Elizabeth Wildes Baton Rouge High Wins State Rally A month of preparation enabled B. R. H. S. to come out victorious in the 1924 State Rally. The honor of the occasion was perhaps brighter than ever before on account of the great number of schools which participated and the vast-ncss of students represented. Amid the cheers of more than 2000 visitors the high schools of the State contended for the honors. The display of sportmanship was above reproach and the tournament went off in the quickest and most businesslike manner. It is only right that we should rejoice over our recent victory since the winning was done over such worthy competitors and also since in many cases first places meant L. S. U. scholarships. Another year will find high schools competing in some of the hitherto unattempted fields such as dramatic interpretation and basketball. Success is generally a point of view and from the perspective of a Baton Rouge High student, the rally was a great success. In the literary events, Margaret Richardson starred in English, Augusta St. Amant in History,Virginia Morgan bore the declamation honors on her shoulders, while Detta Lindsly made us proud of her sewing. The girls’ quartet, picked by many as the best in the State, brought home the first melody prize. Ruth Higginbotham took first honor in the Botany with Gipson Carter coming in ahead on Chemistry. On the track we made our most spectacular display. Just winning over a hundred or more schools was not quite enough for us to do so wc broke a few records on the side. A list of B. R. H. S. records is the best way to show up the excellent condition of Coach Young’s flock on the big occasion.

Those who worked for the glory of the “Green and Gold” without succeeding will have a chance to put us on the map next year, and the students as a whole extend their appreciation for the work of all contestants.

B.R.H.S Pane Elfthty-Two Class Will We, the members of the class of 1924, of Baton Rouge High School. Parish of East Baton Rouge. State of Louisiana. United States of America, having come to the end of our high school career, and knowing what a loss we will be to our Alma Mater, and being not mentally deianged (as we believe) do hereby make our last will and testament: First, to the Juniors we do give and bequeath, although it is probably too little to be appreciated, the small bits of knowledge which we did not absorb. Second, to the maltreated and lowly Sophomores, we give all the secret nooks and crannies, where we were wont to park our chewing gum in days of yore when Miss Burris’s watchful eyes did scan that particular corner. Third, to the Junior High Students, we leave our grand old building, our set of dear teachers, our pity and sympathy for the long hours when they will have to cram, and when some teacher says, Rewrite this notebook.” Then to each individual member of the faculty, we wish to bequeath some token of our esteem to show them we really appreciate their ceaseless effort to be rid of us: To Miss Alexander, knowing her partiality for squeaky balloons, all the balloons in the stocks of Messrs. Wool worth and Kress. To Miss Burris, an inspiration to derive a method of making the American History notebooks twice as long. To Mrs. Leguenec, seventy dozen sets of Twelve Centuries. To Miss Dunbar, an automatic electric machine to record the absence and presence of her darling dumbbells. To Miss Dowdell, a model I I -1 English class. To Miss Pujol, a vacant period. To Miss Clarke, self-possession in the presence of the principal. To Miss Brown, something to cause a smile. To Miss Droz, a package of hair-curlers. To Mrs. Kean, some senior girls as cute as us. To Miss Loup, an S. L.” P«ko Eighty-Three B.R.H.S To Miss Gladney, a complete set of dignified ways suitable for a teacher. To Mr. Shirley, a pair of boxing gloves with which to maintain order in his physical training squads. To Mr. Young, football players who will keep up with their equipment. To Miss Keller, a physics class which hands their experiments in. To Miss Heed, some Stacomb. To Miss Knighton, a dictionary of pronunciation. We appoint as executor of this, our last will and testament, Mr. C. B. Turner. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seal, this thirtieth day of May, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four. (Signed) May Class, 1924. Signed, sealed, published, and declared before us by the May Class as their last will and testament, in the presence and hearing of us, who have, at their request and in their presence, and in the presence of each other, subscribed our names hereunto. (Signed) Charlie Chaplin. Rarnf.y Google. Boob McNutt. B.R.H.S. Pago Eighty-Pour Ye Dignified Seniors Whank-k-k! Squcc-cc-c!! and other horrible noises. Did they proceed from the center ring of Barnum and Bailey’s well-advertised business, or did they come from behind those raised desks in our own dear hall of learning? Methinks Miss Alexander could answer that. Surely she it was who dealt with the causes of these sounds, yea, and dealt with them with a vengeance! Forty senior girls hung their heads (from shame? or to hide their laughter?) as they were marched before three hundred pairs of curious eyes into the vast court of justice. Indeed our small library stretched to immense proportions, for we senior girls were beginning to feel very vcrcy small. And then the deluge! Tears? Or words? Words mostly. “What an example we had set! said the stern judge. And what a sentence that stern judge set for us. Flours. Not one hour after school, not two, nor even five, but ten. l en hours to reflect upon our crime ( ?), ten afternoons to waste while running teachers nearly wild, ten times to have our names called in the hall to “stay in. That is what was given us. And even our lovely red balloons that made such pretty, squeaky music were taken from us, so that ony memory remains to tell us of our escapade. I think that memory is sufficient. Not soon will we forget the glorious sunny hours spent there within the prison, and, as memory reminds us of them, we shall do our utmost, through the years, not to admit the justice of those hours. —A. F. S.. ’24. The Foibles of A Freshman I’ve often wondered why I am such a dunce in school. Why I cannot learn and cram, and not be a mutt and fool. I work all my algebra wrong; I misspell words galore; in physics I’m not worth a song; in geometry, awful poor. Oftimes I go to class, and leave at home my work and books; to find the profs there cn masse with mean and bulldog looks; they grade me lower than before; I fail in this and that; they pitch me outward through the door; 1 land upon my hat. I try to follow the advice they so freely give; I want to work my problems twice; I cannot do it and live; and when I really start to study like I said I was my brain starts to get muddy, my head begins to buzz. So I’m not to blame; I try to do my best, but to them it’s all the same; they hold me but a pest. And mathematics I fain to admit, to me it seems like Greek, and history books give me a fit; in English I’m a freak. And so my teachers pray for me, or cuss me out belike: some wish I would go to sea or take an endless hike. But I can say I do not care; I’m not the one that slams it; I didn’t fill my head with air through which batlets gently flit. And as I see it nothing gains, hence I will worry not, for what mankind calls brain, is what I havn’t got. —Rocf.r Richardson. '23.

The moon was shining brightly, also some stars were twinkling merrily. It was an ideal night for lovers, and many other things. The dancing shadows on the Indian Mound suggested coy wood-nymphs and fierce goblins. Sh-li-h-li-lt-. From among the ghostly shadows of a great oak emanated a mysterious figure. Slowly it takes definite form—it becomes familiar. What! Can it be Captain Klelnpctcr? Sad but true—it is. In his left upper appendage he carries a Jug. In a clear space on the old mound he seats himself and waits. And the moon kept right on shining brightly, winking at the vampish stars. Why? Perhaps there’s a reason. Quien sabe? Proceed: Another lumbering figure looms into view. It is John Walls. He carries a Jug also, using his hands to tote it. He Hops down next to Kleinpeter. They how-de-do each other without kissing or hugging. A merry tra-la-la smiles the air. almost breaking it into atoms. Surely this must be a fairy and her followers. What! ’Tis Bango. Take a seat y'runt and don't hug that Jug so. Suddenly a raoring noise approaches. An ink bottle strikes among the group. Whew! Goblins! No, you guesed it. It’s Jake Miranda and his little brown jug, that is. jug in one hand and loaf of bread in the other. Next our zephyrous captain-elect Keller fioats in on a dainty south-wind. He falls off with his little jug. Ho-ho! Here comes Hickey. He has his jug and he lakes his seat. And the moon kept on shining brightly. The moon shines and the gang swells till finally all the Bulldogs are assembled in circle. Almost simultaneously the Jugs are tilted backward. Here’s how! How harmonious are the gurgles. Bango: “Whoope-e-e-e! O you Bulldogs. Jake: “C’mon, y'runt. warble a little softer with them yells. Tills ain’t no Ilolyroller meeting. Carpenter: Leggo that jug. Babe; thasse mine. I.ookit my name on it here. Gosh y're greedy.” Kleinpeter (tasting Hickeys Jug): “My Gawd, fellows, do this look like a faculty pic-nic? Hickey’s knock-out tastes like lemonade fine. I Jus' wish y’mollycoodles ud taste mine. It'd knock y' for a gross of spasms.” Babers: “Thass allright. Cap, y're old enough to imbibe carbolic acid without gettin' a kick.” 'Peter: “Huh! I ain't got Chilians in Port Allen that— Walls: Cut that crabbin’ out. Moran (operatically): Lawd. I got them crazy blues—Oh, Noney! Keller (quite early): Sweet-adolinc. All: My a-do-line.” Pwr« Ninety-Four GUI: Heh, heh. hell. Giddap. Sparky. Baby needs a new pair shoes. ’Nuther drink before the battle, mother. Hot Tamale! Oh my gosh—glug. glug—hlc, hlc, hooray! Wallis (poetically): How cheeseish art the moon tonight.” Roberts with a sigh): In the moon I see her face. Bango: “Haw. haw! She must be cheese-faced.” Dusty Harrell: Clear the track. I'm gonna make it In ten flat Specks: “Somebody bring brother a lemon. Hickey: Such was the night, sweetheart, when I first met you. You were young then and I was younger. Them was the days—my Dodge was new. Hie. How I love my little brown jug. Sweet baby.” Wallis: “I’m a wretch! Who’ll break the news to mother an’ tell ’er—hie. hlc—! Kleinpeter (lovingly): “Angel eyes, m’love—hie—one more kiss—hie—tell me y'love me give it a crank air in the left tire gimme room hie Oh my low down trusty Liz. Gill (to Babers): “Oh you handsome brute. Wallis: I am Hercules.” Bango: Haw! Haw! Hie! I am Napoleon. Hie! Hie! Tish! Hercules. Y’re a stringbean, y’poor fish. Haw Hie!” Keller: “Shut up, y'saphead, y’re always yappin’.” Bango: “Thass all right. I ain’t no nightingale. Haw! Haw! You and Ucdus Day ud make a fine quartet! Hie! Jake: O them baker shop blues—liic—some blues.” Walls (soberly): “Sponge. Julie. Dusty: Signals off.” Spec: “Mister referee: takin’ brother’s place a’ half yassuh—Hie.” Flynn: I will now execute a jack knife dive. Hickey: Gurgle, gurgle; intis, be dream in’. Too good to be true. Hie!” Dabadle: Where, ho where, is my boundin’ Dodge tonight! Hie—mem-morles.” Clemmons: “Twinkle, twinkle, little—hie! ugh!” Carpenter: Ham an' country—’burgers—two straight up—gurgle—coincidence—hie—coffee—second act—curtain! ’’ Wren: Hie! uniph! Alcohol is fattening -eat Fleischmann’s yeast vita-mines—reduce grow fat—bah Algebra flunk hie!” Moon becomes dimmer. Bacchus and Morpheus fight for possession of the Bulldog gang. The crisis is near. Church clock strikes once—twice—thrice—four times. The hours are be-winged. Jake (very tenorishly): Oh, Athos, thy slowness appalls me. Thou art sixty minutes late! A wagon rattles adown the road. A tiny bell tinkles. A voice is raised in popular discord: Yes. we gotta no banany!” Pakc Ninety-Five Nigger Preaching and Bughouse Bunk (JOE ABRAHAM) He was a nigguh preachuh, an’ Laird he wuz a pain; He preached full us in sunshine; he preached tuh us in rain.

What is it?” Boil only one egg for breakfast this morning!” he said. • Nothing Doing A school-teacher had found her class of boys reluctant in their writing of English compositions. At last she conceived a great idea to stimulate their interest—to write an account of a ball-game. It seemed that she was successful. With one exception, the boys threw themselves at the task and evolved youthful masterpieces. The backward one chewed reluctantly at his pen and was then struck by a burst of genius. When the teacher opened his paper, it read: . Rain—no game.” Changing the Nationality A lady out shopping one day entered a butcher’s shop ami asked for a sheep’s head. She emphatically stated that she must have English mutton. “Sorry, mum,” replied the butcher, “we only stock Scotch mutton. The lady was most anxious to purchase the sheeps’ head, but she was insistent that it. must be English. Turning to the back of the shop, the butcher called his boy assistant to him and said quietly, pointing to the head of a sheep lying on a counter at the far end of the shop.

There was a terrific explosion, and the shoemaker was blown out through the door and almost to the middle of the street. A passer-by rushed to his assistance, and, after helping him to arise, inquired if he was injured. The little German gazed at his place of business. which was now burning quite briskly, and said: No, I aindt hurt. But I got out shust in time.

The platform o the Republican party clearly stated as follows: ‘The party favors the most harmonious co-operation w 11 h the other nations of the world, so long as such co-operation in no way involves the national honor so dear to the hearts of our fathers.' The people have spoken. They have declared themselves in favor of national honor. The United States will become involved In no entangling intercourse with foreign nations. Curtain. —George It.

Wc treat you Square the year Round P KC One Hundred Eleven Paul Revere’s Ride Charlestown, April IS. 1775—Two Lanterns, by Bedfrcy out of Night Watch, ran away with the Cocked Hat Handicap, the feature or the program here this evening, established a new record for the course and rewarding New England backers at good odds. The race was a great upset for the British form players, who were figuring on Surprise and lost heavily. Paul Revere was up. and gave the weight-carrying three-year-old a fine ride. Two Lanterns stepped the distance in the remarkable time of 2:47.-06. He had Surprise headed from the start, winning under double wraps. It was a cold night. Jockey Revere had trouble with Two Lanterns at the post. The colt was fractious, and whinnied so constantly he nearly broke up the whole show. The New England Stewards showed considerable concern and there was talk of setting Revere down for bringing such a loud mount into the sylvan quiet o fthis beautiful track, but fortunately no disciplinary action was found necessary. The fast time of Paul Revere s ride caused him to be awarded an ovation ns he came under the wire. Remember, however, that Revere should not get too much credit. The horse did all the running. Paul just sat there, shouting all the way around to people near the track. He kept yelling something about the British, but could not be understood. A rumor around the Charlestown paddock had it that Paul had a bet down himself on Surprise and was pulling his mount. The Stewards did not have to investigate, however, as the result spoke for itself. Two Lanterns broke in front, and at Medford he was leading by a nose, at Lexington by a head, at The Bridge by a neck, at Concord by an epiglottis, and coming into the stretch he pulled away to win in a walk. Pneumonia, daughter of Wet Feet and Prohibition, also ran. —Weed Dickinson. • Heavenly Twins Well. Pat. do the twins make much noise nights? Praise by to hivin!
