Their club was headed by a barouche driven by liveried groom and containing the lord chancellor and several other "legal lights" as a transparency announced.

Behind the law men was a mugwump four-in-band on which were several Harvard men. This headed the Bohemian Brigade, of which notice was made in earlier issues of the week.
