This week Manhattan's Downtown Gallery displayed Steig's latest humorous accomplishments: 14 small, irresistible figures carved in mahogany, walnut, orange, pear and apple wood. He began doing them three years ago when he married and moved out to live in the country in Sherman, Conn. He and his brother, Henry Anton Steig, pruned their fruit trees, stacked the dead wood in a shed. One day William picked up a chunk and whittled it. Thereafter all male carvings were known in the family as Jason, female carvings as Tessie...
...nice of you to give all that publicity to our Exposition, but we who happen to live in downtown hotels will certainly have reason to bless you when tourists roam our neighborhood all night looking for trouble ! As a matter of fact, the neighborhood you have libeled is like any other downtown dis trict in a large city- it has plenty of bar rooms, gambling houses and houses of assigna tion.

The transaction would be without rent, which the company is nable to pay. Face to face with this apparently insoluble situation, a group of leading Cincinnatians resolved last week that something must be done about the city's hole-in-the-ground.

Since no town feels it is grown-up until it is pierced by a subway (Chicago is finally digging one), the most likely result of their deliberations will probably be an attempt to sell Cincinnati taxpayers on the downtown loop, send good money after...
Last week, while Hialeah was going full blast, a third track, Gulfstream Park, opened at seaside Hollywood, 15 miles north of downtown Miami. Its owner, wee-mustached, dimpled Jack Horning, 28-year-old heir to a Pittsburgh steel fortune, had never intended to own a racetrack. A contractor by trade, he had seen only three horse races in his life when he was hired by Promoter Joe Smoot last winter to build a racing plant on 190 acres of marshland...
