It mentions a Hagerstown fire brigade relay team timing 250 yards in 87 seconds and a coming match with Frederick. It cites British army rejection due to eyesight and dental issues, and contains humorous lines about girls being called misses and people who pay big interest borrowing trouble. It ends with a colored street performer’s accident and a cosmetic remedy.
