Center ........... Waterman Morgan .......... Rover ............ Conway Juggins ......... Left End ......... Haggerty

These consisted of scores of most interesting objects, besides several thousand rare postage stamps.
Look at the silly juggins, gnashing his teeth at the very men who put down the slave trade!" "Couldn't you explain?" "I'll explain with this pistol when he comes a little nearer. Now sit tight, Anerley. They're off!" They were indeed. It was the brown man with the green turban who headed the rush.
