For a special concert at Fort Hamilton the bandsmen were ordered to wear what decorations they possessed; Brigadier General Gough's ribbons of rank awed his companions; he was the fêted hero of the musicians, who had hitherto known nothing of his history. Reserved, unwilling to rely on his military connections to further his welfare, he later became saxophonist-director of a dance orchestra at the Club Polle, Manhattan.

Thereafter it will occupy a place on 66 programs with which Violinist Balokovic will tour...

Health officials, who had hitherto been unable to discover any evidence of physical injury to participants, heard rumors of an internal hemorrhage, suffered, in Wilkesbarre, Pa., by a onetime contestant, a week after he had resigned from the marathon. With this as evidence they commanded Promoter Crandall to stop his marathon.
