until every part Of the building that was lighted
up. from the extreme northern end to
the fountain, and even away back In the
dark, every inch Of room was occu-
pied. The accident to the western gallery
when Ingersoll spoke, and when one of the
supports gave way. led the managers to suspect
that 1t was not safe, and so all approaches there
to we're closed, and the immense throng turned
upon the lower part.
