Title by Adverse Possession Asserting the right of adverse possession as a result of a continuous occupation of a lot at Seventy-first street and Gray's avenue, Josephine W.

The land consists of a strip 29 by 165 feet on the north side of Gray's avenue, west of Seventy-first street, and 29 by 422 feet on the south side of Gray's avenue, both of which formed the bed of Graver's lane, a thoroughfare laid out many years ago by Henry Paschall, the original owner of a large tract in Pas-challville. This road was abandoned many years ago, and the land since then occupied by squatters.

The document recorded recites that adverse entry was made upon the land by Andrew Davis in 1865, and since then by various descendants until 1900, when Josephine W. Williams, one of his heirs, entered into possession of the property and has continued in possession ever since. There is a small dwelling erected on the land, which is assessed as unknown and valued at $2500. The recording of instruments of this kind is exceedingly rare, and this is said to be the first in many years.

And These Are the Reasons Why: The Lester is easiest to pedal and control because it has a smaller vacuum chamber and hundreds of inches less tubing than other players. The larger the chamber and the more tubing the harder it Is to play. This makes the Lester more responsive to the person playing, consequently it is easier to accent any note and give your own interpretation.

A light pressure of the foot controls its absolutely. In the Lester the air channels go direct, saving many feet of useless channels found in other players. This makes the pumping easier. The Lester has been so simplified that all superfluous levers are done away with, so that you get exquisite effects, without confusion or trouble.
