Wertli and Ruth Alexander. The sporting page was edited hy Frank Docteur. I saw that Edmund Taylor and Arthur Gibson had figured prominently in New York’s victory over Chicago in a game played April 27, 1940. Harold Fay, Clarence Craw- ford and French had acquitted themselves well as jockeys in a recent turf meet in Batavia. Stewart Gordon and Wronker, so the page informed, were daredevil, loop- thc-loop automobilists. An account appeared of the departure of the famous Amazon baseball team for Portuguese, East Africa, where these “Susan B’s” were to instruct the natives in the gentle art of the diamond. Mattie Gunther, Edna Nuffer and Mae Bragg were well-known box-women of the team, with Della Maguire, Florence Bcach- ner and Janette Morris behind the bat. The Suffragette Band, conducted by Sarah Blanchard, played a fond farewell at the wharf. There appeared an account of a pugilistic fight for the heavyweight championship of the world. 1911 furnished all those in the ring. The principals were Sam Rabinowitz and Rudolph Schmidt with Robert Osborn and Harold Garson as seconds. David Kcsden refereed. Cooman and Tlammcle were written up as daring balloonists, touring the country under the direction of their manager, Rice. Evidently, by mistake, this notice appeared in a comer of the paper: “Leon James was recently appointed supervisor of postgraduate work at East High. Mr. James has eloquent qualifications ' Viola Pratt and Helen Kenyon were noted as hav- ing bettered Florence Daly’s record of thirty feet for aeroplane ascension. A footnote announced that Jean McCargo, Clementine D’amanda and Ruth Thomssen had recently started on a pedestrian tour from New York to Chicago. The whereabouts of four members of the American Mountain Climbers were given; Irene Bender and Edna Perry were at present exploring the Alps; and Esther Sutcr and Josephine Wronker were conducting scientific explorations upon Mt. Popocatcpelt. All this was hugely entertaining until the Sibyl, seated upon her tripod in the smok- ing cavern, suddenly assumed the terrifying appearance of Mr. Gray in Room 14. I awoke with a start and my dream was replaced by “Talibus ex adyto dictis Cumaea Sibylla horrendas camit ambages antroque remugit”

The next leaf which I examined, showed that Crandall, our football idol, was to discover a wonderful secret which makes his renown secure and will place him at the head of a school known to the world as How to grow thin in ten days.” He will be an example of the success of his cure, having reduced his weight to 399 pounds in 1931. James Maguire is to be staff artist for the New York Journal in 1933, continuing the famous Desprit Desmond” series. Monroe Dale is to demonstrate his new machine at Crittenden Park during the exhibition week in 1940. Ray Gleichauf is to be the owner of a line airship plying between this city and Fairport; special monoplane accommodation for spnoners (under personal direction). Robert Barnes will make his way in the world washing cans for the Rochester Ice Cream Company of which Abraham Hurwitz will be president. Ducky” Holmes is destined to win renown by virtue of compiling a French dictionary wherein one may acquire all the words in the language after three minutes' reading. William Warren is to become the greatest inventor of labor saving machines in the world's history. Still another leaf related to Helen Crawford, stating that she is to become the author of a “Diamond Dick” series. Jay Smith will act as her publisher, first volume to appear in 1947. The next leaf which attracted my attention was a sheet from Puck of May 23, 1924. The sheet was headed The Biggest Joke of the Age. Beneath it was a large portrait of Walter Goetzmann. About many others, I found short notices. Hiram Marks is to be a politician of note. Armbruster is destined to become a local grocer with an enormous trade. O'Brien, Loeffier and Zabel, publishers of a Rochester fashion sheet,” was Sibyl's next prophecy. Seward and Julian arc to start in Barnum’s circus for the year of 1937. Thurber Larzclcre is business manager and Harlowe Koch is the clown tor their company. Robbins is to run a doughnut store in Fairport with Charlie Aufder- har as storeboy. The Suffragette Chorus is to appear at Convention Hall in 1943 under the personal management of Adelaide Bowen. Among those prominently figuring in the prophecy arc Eunice Perry, Mabel Senkey, Evelyn Osborn, Evelyn Simpson, Loretta Conner, Grace Hoehn and Vera Gorham. The chorus is under the direction of Rachael Stilwell and Wilhelmina Horn. I noticed with satisfaction that one of tiheir number will be a glorious Paean of Victory composed by Ruth Turner. It follows in part: , The power behind the throne WcYe no longer content to be; For Votes for Women” we shout, For votes will make us free.” Lucy Goddard and F.vclyn Tracy belong to the company as leading soloists. A quartette known as the Daily Screamers” will do the advertising by parading cn Main Street with their banners and songs. The quartette will consist of Mona Quine, Elizabeth Filkins, Doris Howard 3nd Grace Mink. I found to my amazement that Doris Hawks is to run a peanut and candy stand in Power’s Block, home-made chewing gum a specialty. Clement Lanni will make a huge fortune as editor of the Rochester Herald, but later is fated to take to poetry and letting his hair grow. I came across one of his papers dated April 30, 1940, which contained a number of interesting facts concerning many of my friends. Gordon Gliddon, known as the only human pianola, edited the music and drama page. Compositions by the well-known composers, George Malone and Ruth Klingclhafer, appeared upon the page. There was, also, a selection from Warren Frost, the well-known playwright. This play, The Last Moments of Simeon, the Jaw Breaker, was then appearing at the Majestic Theater, of which Russell Scheer was manager. Ah! here's where I come in. I am advertising, too, in this paper. But look, this is Me” in 1935. Russell Lipscomb, Fancy Dancing Master, Guarantee to Teach all Pretty Girls within a year's time. Prices Arranged according to the Looks of the Applicants. Hm-m. Well, I have the legs if nothing else. The fashion page of Lanni’s paper was conducted by Harold Doane with Anna Van Alst and Jean Goldstein as assistants. The visit to America of the well-known modiste, Irene La Flamme, was here recorded. Turning a page, I found that Ralph Gleichauf was clerk of the marriage license bureau. I noticed that Professor Louis Gottlieb had recently been appointed to the chair of Latin entymology at New ork University. Among the matrimonial note, I saw accounts of the marriages of Lola
