Ihe second nlgnt vi TUG OiPN"
now in progress at the Capitol nnk'
showed marked increase in attendance
over Monday evening. From 8 O'Clock
until II the large building was fairly
crowded, and the results Of the evening
were most satisfactory to nose in charge.
The rink presented very much better ap
pearance than the day before, additional
decorations and many more beautiful arti-
cles lending their aid to produce TINS
effect and all entering the building were
charmed with the general appearance
of the apartment And this feeling OF
satisfaction was, il anything, enhanced
when the visitor descended from generah-
ties to look at details. The arrangement
of the booths and tables, the gay colors,
and the brilliant electric lights-ior which
latter the Wheeling Electrical Company IL
deserving of many thapks-all seemed to
be perfect in their way, AMI the pressbc &c
of 80 many of Wheeling's prettiest ladies
went long way toward the formation OF q
feeling of thankfuluess in the mind Of
each visitor that the fates had led him to
cast his lines in such pleasant place.
Tonight the Fair will be more attrac-
tive than ever and uluch larger attend
ance is confidently looked for. In response
to very general demand, the managers OF
the affair have determined that hereafter
the rink shall be thrown open in the after
noon, and in comp lance with this, the
doors will be opened at two o'clock to-day
for the accommodation of the public. Ad-
mittance will be free for ladies during this
portion Of the day, and great many ere
expected to attend. No more cozy place
could be found 10 which to eat saucer OF
cream, or have little chat with friends
The feature of the Fair last evening was
the concert, in which a number of Wheel
ings most talented musical people took
part. Mrs Geo. b. Caldwell sang solo,
'Long Live the Moments of Pleasure" by
Fred. Gumbert, and Mrs Caldwell, Mrs
Whitaker, and Messrs. Day and Diegmiller
sang a q uartette, Give me my own Native
Isle," by G. A. White. Each number WAS
rendered in the very best manner, and
both were heartily enjoyed by those
present. Later variety of instrumental
music was furnished by Mr.. Charles
Killmycr, at the piano, and VIM. Mayors,
violin.
