Attor TINT all prizes ranging from 81 ,000 to tho
grand prize Of 3l00, 900 received q Welcome from
the crowd, whether tho ticket wan hold by any
one present or not and especially wcro tho
large prizes greoted with vociforous applause.
THE AUDIENCE
was very quiet and orderly, perhaps because
there wore, az We observed in looking over it, so
many gray hoals and SO many bonneta thoro.
Nearly all, male md female, wore not only i'll
tontly watching tho progress Of the drawing,
but busy, oven tho boys, with memorandum
books and pencils.
.rllo spirit OF tho hour was infectious, and
muny of the musicians, as soon NJ their task
was suspended for the principal labor Of the
day, took ont their lists and made notes Of how
near thoy came to drawing prizes.
