The country may have benefited by the redistribution of funds produced by wagers, won and lost, on the next sport to be glorified by the versatile female athlete who posed for a gasoline company as "Power," "Speed," and "Balance," in successive months. Undoubtedly bill-board advertisements, like traveling salesmen and muddy weather, being unpredictable, have added glamor to life, and being thoroughly vexing, strength...
