Seebe..
Colonel d. d. Monro, scotchmau, formerly
of the Walhalla, at the request OF the Executive
committee gave an exhibition Of the Scottish
national dance, the Highland Fling; attired in
the Highland costume, and danced 1t in ex-
celent style. Tonight he will repeat the
dance attired as Il Scottish chief.
THE FIREWORKS
failed by reason of a premature explosion and
many persons were scared. Some few were
burned. One young lady, Miss Annie Petrich,
was seriously burned, and Miss Annie billiard
was so frightened that she tainted and was
taken home. The occurrence was purely ac-
cidental, but the Committee have taken special
means to prevent the possibility of a repition
OF such unpleasantness.
DANCING
on the platform was enjoyed at intervals, and
lovers of the Terpsichorean art had an excel
lent platform and good music at their disposal
until a late hour.
REFRESHMENTS
were ample, and at fair charges. Anything in
reason could be obtained on the grounds. In
fact the caterers have this time given general
satisfaction TO the public.
Some slight alarm was occasioned during the
evening by the explosion Of the coored glass
lamp above the fountain, which set FIRE to
the canvas roof. Mr.. Beckman scrambled to
| the roof and soon extinRuished the flames.
Taken as whole, the Nolksfest proceedings
are satisfactory s and the receipts amount to
| Der OF people present, good order prevailed,
| and only two persons we're arrested. The only
failures yesterday were the explosion of the
fireworks and omission to have sufficient music
for tho evening. The latter was owing to the
musicians being played out These little diff
cuties will be rectihed to-day, and there can
be no doubt that those who attend can spend q
very pleasant time.
