...motorcade of 300 bright floats, accompanied by even brighter fire engines, motorized troops and limousines, wound through mildly fascinated Manhattan crowds last week to a "World's Fair Rehearsal" in Flushing Meadow Park. As the rolling snowball of Fair publicity thus gained momentum one year from the finish line, Manhattanites began to be aware of another ball-"biggest ever built by man" -which will be white, hollow, 200 ft. in diameter, 18 stories high, and the Theme Centre of the World's Fair. The steel frames of this Perisphere and the Trylon (a three-sided obelisk...

In the first two chukkers, Sonny succeeded remarkably well in holding back Greentree's Tommy Hitchcock, Pete Bostwick and Gerald Balding. Cousin Jock was less successful. In the third chukker Sonny suddenly cut in, took the ball away from Hitchcock, swung his mallet. Smack! The ball scooted between the goal posts for the only Whitney-made score of the match. By the end of the seventh chukker...
