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.

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”
