Meeting With Tremend GUS Sue.
cess.
Receipts Up to Date Nearly $4,000.

the Children's Home, which has been la
boring under debt Of $1,000, is a free in
stitution. The same interest is taken in it
to-day as on the previous days. In fact,
the interest is on the increase, as will be
seen from the receipts. On the first two
days, when it rained, the receipts were re-
spectiyely $2,700 and $1,000 The third
goes the latter sum cool 81 900 better, and
the prospects are that the receipts t-day will
far outrun those of yesterday. At least we
hope so. Last nights attendance was the
largest We have ever seen. 1t was an i'm
mense crush. The receipts at the door,
which we're 1882 20, will vouch for this.
To this must be added the hundreds of sea-
son and complimentary tickets, and then
an idea of the crowd may be formed. Two
or three ladies were carried out insensible
last night.
