THE CENTRE OF THE HAIL
Is also utilized by various attractions. The
first we come to on entering is the sanctum
of the Masonic Bdzdr, the excellent publica-
ton issued under the auspices OF the Youths
Historical Society, and so ably edited by
Messrs. s. Guckenheimer and H. 6. Appel.
1t was distributed gratis during the evening,
and enjoyed the largest leverage circula-
ton" of any journal in the country. The
paper is we'll filed with advertisements, an
evidence that our e%nterprisiDg merchants
appreciate its value. 1t is ably edited, and
is al adjunct to the Fair of no inconsidera-
BILE Importance. 1t, in fact, seems too good
a paper to give away, and an extra revenue
might be made by disposing of it at q small
price.
Next to the sanctum of the Bazaar we
come to the Quaker table, connected with
the Zerubbabel department, and of which
mention is elsewhere made, then to a mis-
cellaneous booth Of Ancient Landmark
Lodge, the floral fountain of the same
Lodge, the soda fountain of SoIomon's
Lodge, and the wheel of fortune by the Bo-
hemian Glass Blowers, who were in opera
ton last night, and had a large crowd of
interested spectators.
The Telegraph and Telephone Exchanges
and the Post Office are all excellent instttu-
lions. Ia fact, the Bazaar is supplied with
all the modern improvements and conve.
niences.
This sketch will give an idea of the gen
eral appearance OF the Fair, and we err not
in saying that the display far exceeds the
expectations of the most sanguine.
Notwithstanding the great crowd last
night, and the fact that many came merely
to look on as It was the opening night, a
very profitable business was done by the
several. departments, and taking the re-
turns of one as an average, it was estimated
that over 81, 900 were realized.
ANNOYANCE
was occasloned during the evening by the
multitude of small boys, white aud colored,
who were prowling about, and some of
whom were detected in the act of attempt
ing to steal from one of the tables. This
annoyance has resulted in a renewal of the
suggestion that a small price be charged
for admission as the surest way of keeping
out these boys, who are only a source OF
THE PENIN AND CLOSING.
The Fair is now fairly on it's way, and
matters In relation to its management are
1t has been decided by the
Executive Committee to open the Bazaar
every afternoon at 5 O'Clock and to close
promptly at II O'Clock, when a bell will be
rung.
