ANOTHER CROWD.
The Pompeiian Enclosure the Scene OF
More Triumph.
People from Far and Near Elbow Each other
on the Immense Grand Stand-A
Thrilling Exhibition Given.

Last night the great Pompeiian exhi-
billion scored another triumph.
The attendance was immense.
This fact is the more remarkable as
the weather was anything but favorable
for an outdoor entertainment.
But people were there from the North,
South, East, West. and all intermediate
points of the compass. Two jammed
train loads from Dallas swelled the at
tendance, as also did long train load
from the West. The hotels of the
city were taxed to hold the visitors. and
long into last night strangers from all
parts of the state crowded the streets,
no, Ell done commenting on the MARVEL
Gus sight they had witnessed.
Last night was Fort Worth night ct
Pompei.
There was the city, rebilded and look
ing as picturesque and beautiful as be-
fore it was destroyed on the first night,
and behind 1t doomed treacherous Vesu-
vius, wearing the same appearance of
sublime and inoffensive grandeur.
The dramatic and specially features
were rendered with smoothness superior
even to that of the first exhibition.
As viewed from over beyond

and gorgeous. 1t Is different
from q dramatic representation as pro-
duced on the theater stage. The bril-
liant lights of every color are
used with such fine effect
by the Pompeii artists that the
spectator thinks he views an incident oc-
curing In CLINE and atmosphere more
ethereal than those which mortals in
E@bit, even as one is carried into purer
and more limpid realm as one
reads OF ancient myths and classical
traditions. And when the climax comes
and the torrent of smoke, fire and
molten lava pours down and encom-
passes the fairylike city to the destruc-
ton OF those people, the horror seems
moro than diabolical-it seems sacri-
leRious.
The specially of features, which occur
Mt the time when the Pompeilan citizenry
are supposed to be witnessing the games
and sports we're splendid last night. The
managers have brought with them frat
class artists in their various lines to
amuse the spectators. The bicycle riding
IS remarkable. The boxing is q splendid
though by no means brutal exhibition of |
the istic art. The tumbling Is done by
leading experts.
was as before, grand. Pain leads the |
world in pyrotechnics, and he leaves |
none OF his best features unrevealed in |
Fort Worth. Who witnesses one such |
display never fo-gets 1t.
The closing climax last night was the |
production of the benignant festu res of |
Mayor Peter Smith of Fort Worth. 1t |
was Fort Worth night, therefore this
representation. The likeness was per-

The attendance last evening is va
riously estimated at from 5000 to 1000.
There appeared to be 10 vacant seats.
To night all Dallas will be on hand,
for it is Dallas night, and portrait of
Bud Conner, mayor of Dallas, will be
produced in jets of fire.
