proceeded more quietly. Some saw the per
formances on the trapeze and also those o.
the Jaklpy Troupe; others clustered about
the Enclosure Of the shooting lot With inter
est, watching over the fence the shots OF the
marksmcn; the wheels.ot-iortune tents were
crowded, and many. even women, turned
away disappointed-the money gone and
no fortune came upon wheels, thinking, per-

of fortune. or course the lunch-tables and
lager beer stands bad their share OF patrons.

being crowded for some hours.
