Orange Blossom Classic Weekend Welcomes Miami Visitors
The Miami Orange Blossom Classic crowd gears up for a festive weekend with thousands expected to parade along the boulevards. Curiously, bets favor Virginia to win by two touchdowns as the Old Dominion team draws smart money. Local society notes highlight store and apartment project by B Solomon Jr, community events at JESCA and Mary Elizabeth venues, and various social gatherings. Amid updates, Rev. W. O. Bartley’s death dominance looms large with funeral anticipated to be the city’s largest. Federal narcotics agents seized on Rufus Shepherd in a hemp case, while Jimmie Rivers travels from Washington for the Classic and Cyril Potiers welcome new son born Friday.
