The Building Thronged with People
with Full Purses.
Interest in the Hussars bazaar increases,
and yesterday was bigger day than the
opening day. Early in the afternoon the
crowd began to grow, and last night at 9
o'clock il was with difficulty that the
people moved about in the bazar hall. The
first day and the first two nights were
taken up principally in sightseeing. Every
body had TO examine the articles for sale.
Now that they have seen them, they have
begun to buy. The ladies in charge
OF the booths sold in earnest
yesterday. People who 60 TO the bazar
late in the afternoon and spend the even
ing take supper at the bazar res uarant.
The restaurant is presided over by Mrs.
G.. B. Pritchard and Mrs W. H. Daniel It
takes up the northwestern portion of the
| building, and three booths are devoted 60
| 1t. The tables are decorated after the style
OF the different nations, aud the effect is
novel. Toe following is the bill of fare:
Turkey. Ham. One style oysters.
'hS croqust.ss Bread O1 &spat saa coffee
Chicken salad. Fried oysters. Terrapin
stew. Stewed oysters.
Mushroom pie. Cream chicken.

Partridges and mushrooms, or peas.
fenlson and mushrooms, or peas.
Ice cream. Cake.
Champagne Beer.
The restaurant is thronged at the closing
I OF the bazaar at night.
As soon as the sightseeing is over the
bazaar gets better footing. Those who
| went 70 look over the articles for sale have
found more things than they expected, and
hence there were good many full purses
| at the bazar yesterday afternoon and last
| night. Few of the articles for sale can be
duplicated In Savannah. Some articles can
| be duplicated, but the prices are favorable
to the bazaar folks. A committee of ladies
bought the articles for the bazar
| in New York and Baltimore, and
| they are there buying goods
now. Over $500 was put into fancy fabrics
to be made up in useful articles for parlors,
dining r oms and kitchens. A large guam
| tity of the material was made up into ladies'
| apparel. The work of converting the fabrics
| into garments and ornaments was done by
the lady friends of the Hussars The ma
terial was sent to the at the springs and
the resorts, and to their homes last summer.
The work Is all handmade, and the very
best people, with superior tastes, have done
it. 1t is rare, and the purchaser of any of
the fancy articles, pictures, etc., is the
| owner of some piece of work designed and
executed by people of taste and refinement,
who, perhaps, have duplicated some piece
OF work ornamenting their own home.
The bazaar folks claim that this will sell
the articles. They invite inspection. Such
articles as are on sale at the different
| booths are not often offered for sale. They
generally decorate and ornament the homes
| OF those who made them.
The doll show is a thing of art. The
greatest variety of dolls probably to be
found is in the bazaar building. Mrs. w. w.
Gordon, who presdes over the doll booth
with Mrs. Remshart, has made this
special feature. She went north, and, &C.
companied by the Ocean Steamship Com
pany's purchasing agent, made the pur-
chases. The dolls are imported. The
clothing on each is made by friends of the
Hussars and will last. The dolls are not
bought ready dressed. If the prices of the
bazaar dolls are a fraction higher
than of dolls elsewhere the material
is better, and the clothing is nicer. All of
the Japanese articles are imported. One of
the prettiest articles in the hall is the jap
anese cob web at the Oriental booth. 1t is
hand work. The web is circular, and is
attached to reed. A fly is caught in the
web, and the spider hangs suspended from
the network. The strands of the web are
made of small silver threads, and the in
sects are made of material resembling felt
The Oriental booth has many rare
articles, among them calabash painted
in the colors, and styles Of the
of remarkable size and was grown by Mrs.
j. A. Huger, and was painted by Miss
Emma Wilkins. The calabash is made into
a scrap basket. The Japanese cups and
saucers are sold with Rio coffee The Japa-
nese bronze vase of extraordinary size, which
has attracted so much attention, is also at
the Oriental booth. Altar of roses, genuine
imported, is sold there as well as imported
cigars from Havana
In the rear of the Oriental booth Gratz c.
Myers has a monkey smoking a cigarette
There is an admission fee of five cents to
see the monkey smoke. and the place is
crowded. 1t is remarkable how the little
animal delights to puff away at the
cigarette.
An interesting feature of the bazar

Myer bands have rendered their services to
the bazaar two nights during each week. A
good many visitors were in to see the bazar
yesterday, in consequence of the reduced
rates by the railroads.
