The ladies engaged in tending the
booths at the Flower Festival were kept
busy throughout the sunny hours yester-
day in rebeautifying their stands, for the
hot weather of the preceding twenty-four
hours had played sad havoc with the
fragile plants. 1t was not case of
Gloves labor lost" Though, for by the
time the doors were thrown open for
the evening congregation to pour in,
it was generally admitted that
the scene, it anything, surpassed
that of the opening night. The atten-
dance was as great as usual, as was tes-
tilted by the door receipts which for the
evening amounted to over $3.50, large
amount when it is considered what
number of season tickets have been is
sued. It was evidently an evening for
looking at the fair scenes around, for
the entertainment was an instrumental
concert by the Seventh Regiment Band,
which, under the direction of Mr.. A. G.
Bartlett, furnished sweet music for the
promenaders.
1t was nearly II O'Clock when
the last number on the programme was
played, but even then large proportion
of the visitors seemed 10th to leave,
and the lights had to be lowered SO as to
warn them that it was time to depart.
The receipts for the evening were most
satisfactory, the following being the
principal amounts turned in to the treas
urer: Door, 1852; lemonade, $26; cloak
room, SO; ice cream, $3.50; register, 81;
roses, $l3; soda, $49.25; boutonniere
booth, 8.15; candy, $32. The total re-
ceipts for the day aggregated over 81 900,
for the lunch room does a big business,
and at the close of the festival it's total
figures"
