Master Guy Ambrose, the 16-year-old son of Mr T H Ambrose, whose home is in Buffalo N.Y., Is in town, visiting his father. The young man stands 6 feet in his stockings, and will no doubt grow 4 or 5 inches yet, and when he gets set out he will be a perfect giant. He is bright and very talented, and is assistant organist in one of the Episcopal churches in Buffalo.
