EDENIC BOWERS.
Gro wds SAN ThrOnxing to the
Pavilion.


The attendance at the Flower
Festival last night was quite up to the
average and the treasury returns be.
gin to indicate that last years finan-
cial record will be badly beaten.
During the ternoon the doors wer e
thrown open to children who were ad-
mitted for the nominal sum of ten
cents each. and though quite
a number presented themselves
it is evident that many were
deferred by the gloomy weather, SO
it has been decided to extend the
same privileges to children ON Satur-
day next. On that day, therefore,
all little ones presenting themselves
between the hours of 2 and 4 will be
admitted on payment of ten cents.
The performance last night con-
sisted OF song presentations, and was
under the charge of Mrs. R. D. P.
Widner. 1t was an undoubt-
ed success and received un-
qualified praise from the hands
Of the multitude who witnessed it.
Tonight number of tablaux, under
the direction of Mrs. Henry Ludlam,
will be presented, and as so many
have complained that insufficient time
is allowed for an examination of the
individual 6gures in the Sculptor's
Studio Scene, it has been decided to
show all the statues in pairs in rapid
succession, and in the final scene pre-
sent them all together. They will ap-
pear as follows:
Portrait of lady and Cleopatra.
Rock of Ages and au angel.
Pandooa and Nydia.
Roman Senator and Hope.
Othello and Moorish Princess.
The witch's daughter.
In the scene depicting the destruc-
ton OF Pompeii several new figures
will be added. So "The Ten Virgins"
taken is the only one that remains
just as it was the first night.
The booths all look as we'll as ever
and it is evident that all are endeav-
oring to create favorable impress
sion on the judges among the outside
places the competition being SO keen
that it is impossible to say which will
be the victor.
