Gabrilowitch brought his musicians to Manhattan in two special trains of twelve cars each, with two baggage cars and four diners.

Further, Mr. Gabrilowitch said this: "In all the years of my musical experience I have never found as much joy and inspiration in any artistic task as in the study...
...Brook was the next obstacle, a wide stream with a hidden takeoff. Coyote fell here. Freddy Guest's Koko fell into the ditch head first and Amber-wave, one of the favorites, fell after him.

For, although the Pudding show comes every year, it is not always with the brand of music and dancing that accompany the present show. So with the best of intentions he hopes that some kind-mortal will notice...
Alarmed but also annoyed at seeing his bright quip give rise to international complications, Secretary MacDonald sent by special messenger a cleverly equivocal note to Consul Dominguez. "In that statement," he said, "the term 'Mexican General' was used in no way referring to the genuine Mexican generals who have shown ability and valor, but to the guerilla generals in Mexico, who for many years have infested that country to its detriment...
