GRAND FIREwoRK ExHIBIrIoN.-M Gator,
the Fire King, gives, tomorrow night in Lafa-
cite Square, a grand display of his skill in the
science of pyrotechnics, in which everybody
knows he is unsurpassed. 1t will be seen by the
advertisement that his conceptions are entirely
new and original, and his reputation gives as
surance that they will be executed in the very
best manner. The proceeds of the exhibition
are to be devoted to the Firemen's Charitable
Association, and this fact alone should produce
the usually large attendance on Mons Gators
experiments.
