Klaxon autznobile horn, connect it up
with a dry battery and a push button.
Button and battery can n be dropped
into a convenient drpwer in the table.
When the party is ready to start, let
someone go round with a basket of
lead pencils and slips of paper. The
slips of paper should be about the size
of a large page of pad paper. The
guests can use their records as a
backer to write upon.
One person must officiate as phono-
graph operator. From time to time,
he will press the push button in the
drawer quite casually, then the 'dog
will emit growls and barks, to the
great 'delight of the audience. The op-
erator will also have a pencil and
paper. When the -. concert begins it
will be announced that each having a
record will eeoane forward separately
as indicated, permitting the record to
be put into the machine where it will
then be played on both sides.
All those in the audience are to
guess the nurse of the melody or ',song

one will write upon his slip of paper
the number of the record and the

number of the record just the saeand will draw one or. two straight
lines to indicate a blank; or, may
write' "don't know,".and will -go .on
With the correct record' number from
that point. "
Of course, it will' be a paint of honor
and will be so announced at the 'be-
ginning, that no one wi11 reveal the
names of the.teleetionis on the records
which they bring, Each one will re-
main at the front of the Tooth until
his record' is played, and will then slip
it into the cover and take it back to
his seat, The chief 'operates. will keep
a eared list of ntmbers and titles
so that there willl be no chances of
