The band boys went in “the hole” about sls on the “indoor circus and carnival” held in the armory last week for their benefit. The carnival company was about the most God-forsaken bunch that ever struck Rensselaer. A part of the outfit leased mattresses and slept on the floor in the armory, boarding themselves.
