cessfuI Affair.


Last night witnessed the closing scene
of the Bazaar OF Nations. The affair

terestipg feature. The ladies were
dressed in red, white and blue suits with
CAPS to match. After the drill they
sang "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean. u

voting became very spirited. At the
Mexican booth the prize for the most
popular married lady was won by Mrs.
j Woodworth with S66 votes, Mrs Bry
son second with S36 votes. The chair
for the most popular banker was cap.
tured by Col. Boyce with 667 votes,
Major Bonebrake coming in second with
4S7 votes. The S25 char for the most
popular lady was won by Miss Rebecca
l.. Dorsey, who received 356 votes; Miss
Alice Severns being second with 23O
votes. III. Osborne will rock in the
rocking chair for the most popular ed
itor. He received Isl votes. The ele-
CANT and expensive dress doll for the
most popular young man was won by
Fred L. Baker, 405 votes.
