The closing night of the Palma Club
Fair was the most successful night in its
history. and crowds after crowds swarmed
the doorways, Hobbies, galleries and all the
floors every foot of room was occupied,
and it is safe to say that such galaxy Of
beauty and wealth never before assembled
under single roof in Jersey City. Every
one was determined to see the end of the
Fair, and at the last moment every person
seemed DESTROYS to vote for this
or the other favorites whose names
appeared on the blackboards. During
| the last half hour before the closing
dark horses were trotted out; scores which
/ looked diminutive at 10 o'clock suddenly
surprised every one by the sudden impulse
each enveloped batch of votes impaired to
| it. There were 10 prizes in the department
of the fair, and twenty men struggled for
possession of each one of them. In the
| rife gallery smoke continually issued from
| tthe rifle, and members and non-members
| We'd with each other not to obtain the
| prizes, as each had their own, but to see
| which could raise the score. Defeat the
''cracks" seemed the determination, but
| the s'cracks" were not TO be defeated. They
held Their own and carried off the palm for
| the high score. The contest at this part of
| the fair did not close until IL o'clock At IL

From this time until II o'clock the tally
