CRESCEUS, 2:02V4 



This second performance was even more remarkable 

 than the first one. There was another demonstration" 

 when the time was announced, and Ketcham was again 

 presented with a basket of flowers. Cresceus Day was 

 a great success, and the great crowd slowly filed out of 

 the gates feeling that the day would always be re- 

 membered as a red letter one in the history of Toledo. 



The proceeds of Cresceus Day netted $4,257 and 

 was distributed among the difi^erent charitable institu- 

 tions of Toledo, and many suffering mortals were made 

 happy through the efforts of Cresceus. On the even- 

 ing of October 12 the Toledo Driving Club gave a 

 banquet, at which Mr. Ketcham was the guest of honor. 

 Speeches were made by many prominent gentlemen, 

 and the glorious achievements of Cresceus were toasted 

 again and again. Just as the guests were about to 

 depart Mr. Ketcham proposed this toast, "To the fair- 

 est adversary on the face of the earth — Ed Geers," 

 which was drunk standing.
