The Masonic Fair Is drawing TO
close amidst resplsndsnt and glorious
gios. To ssy that lt las been 4 success
would be saying too little. The re-
ceipts Will reach beyond the snticipa-
lions OF even the most enthusiastic.
Before It Nas opened . Was expressed
BY the projectors that they would be
more than satisfied If $4,000 was
cleared from the same. The indlcs-
tons nov are that the amount viii
reach nearly s25 coo, This vas the tx
ure that one OF the directors put Il Al
last night.
Yesterday was military day, and the
soldier laddies took possession OF Hart
mans Hall last night. lt Was TO o'clock
last night, though, before sufficient
room could be made for the exhibition
drills. A square was cleared, and
Eureka DIVISION, Knights OF Pythlas,
tirst came out. They wore their regu-
lAuon uniforms, and presented a very
pretty appearance with their flashing
swords and gaudy helmets. Their drill
consisted OF loot movements and sword
exercises, under the skillful command
OF Captain Bayne. They went through
the manuel so accurately that the ap-
plause was at times deafening. Co. n
was under the command OF Captain
SayeTs. Many thought he made
slight mistake IN taking the stage Tor
the drill, but then he insisted, and, OF
course, bis orders had 10 be obeyed.
Tue company executed the silent
manuel only, and the boys showed
careful tralng, mucn 10 the ap-
preCiation OF those present. Co. b
was com manded by Lieutenant Kroner
and he decided or an entirely different
klnd.Of drill from the others. 1t was
the difficult bayonet drill that he
selected, and the manner IN which the
movements were executed was a great
credit to the BOYS. They were masters
OF their pieces and at intervals the
enthusiasm could not be suppressed.
When Co. | took the floor there was
stream OF applause. The boys were at
tired in white duck suits, white helmets
and black legglngs. They at once made
an impression on the fair ones, who
said they looked "just lovely" Lieu
tenant Bennett WAS in charge and he
put them through q number OF difh-
cult foot movements which were per-
formed like ciOckwork. They were
also gwen the manuel drill. Taken all
IN all the drilling was al event that was
highly appreciated.
The crowd yesterday will compare
favorably with the preceding days. At
one time last night 1t was impossible to
move about. The attendance was
placed at II, 900 for the entire day and
there is no doubt but that it reached
that figure. The fun continued as be-
fore and number of new faces were
noticed among the pretty vendors.
mamma wanted TO keep me home
today, but pleaded with her to let me
come and she finally consented" !" re-
marked one charming little debutante
10 another.
Il could make fortune in year, il
l could get a lot of young ladies to
work for me as these do here" said q
prominent dry goods man of Monroe-st.
This shows the interest the fair ones
are taking. They are simply irrepres-
sole when they start out TO do any
thing.
There is man there who has
squeezed his nickels SO hard that they
are flattened ont into l0-cent pieces"
painted one pretty one.
