[from the column of “Corry O'Lanus”] The Corry O'Lanus Club, organized to further my prospects for the Mayoralty, were to play the John Brait Club, but the weather dissolved our meeting. When a man wants an office now he has got to be a Base Ballist. On my skill as “short stop” depends a good deal of my chances of election. I have been studying the game at Hooley's every evening this week, and have quite an idea of it.
