General Hugh Johnson-who did his political duty by addressing a Victory Dinner at Newark, N. J.-best described the spirit of the occasion when he wrote that the dinners were "backed by a big enough election triumph to justify serving stewed elephants." The 1,300 Mayflower diners ate their way in triumph through terrapin soup, pompano, breast of capon, coupe nougat quarante-six (Maine & Vermont excepted). But when Franklin Roosevelt rose and began to speak, the levity ended. His first few words were spoken with his most studied earnestness. He was addressing the electorate far more than his Party...
...Metropolitan's most decorative recruit in years is Bidú Sayáo, slim, slick and 30, who turned up in Manhattan last spring to solo with the Philharmonic-Symphony and was quickly snapped up by the opera. Her debut as Manon was a triumph of personality as well as art. The little Brazilian used her little voice so that every phrase told.

Easily outclassing Navy's swimming team, the crack Varsity mermen pulled out of the pool at Annapolis with a soaking triumph of 60-15 in an Eastern Intercollegiate League meet last Saturday. The Harvards took both of the relay races in stride and continued on to place first in six out of seven individual events. The Midshipmen placed first in fancy diving, alone...
...temperamental to a degree outside of it. Last week he invited hundreds of denizens of New York's Negro and Spanish quarter, where he lives, to a "victory ball" at 50? and 75? a head. Before the fight he had decorated a hall with huge banners proclaiming his triumph...
