The Masonic Fair = a success Tar be-
yoad tne ant.eipaL0ns OF lts most en-
tnaslas4e projectors. Al O'Clock yes
terday morning tns hall NAs thrown
open. and lrom that time there was
steady stream Of people pouring In.
Dusness opensd up IN a regular ousi-
aess-lke manner, aud the attendants
worked Ike beavers. Men we're sur
rounded BY bey.es Of irresistible young
women Who were isrepgess.bls IN their
desire % make a cFedllaDie showing.
They were kttred n the most fascin-
atng costumes. and VINO could with
stand their pleadnss2
"Just take one. chance on this watch
for my sake. Que would say.
"Good gracious I have my pockets
aued with chances now" he wodld
answer.
Iakc one on the gold-headed cane
and { viii never forget YOU"
''Al right put my name down." be
would Say, az the same time trying to
escape.
But this was not on the program and
be was imediaEely surrounded again
and it was probiematicsl whether he
would escape With his life or not And
90 il continued all the hyslong day.
Who could refuse themg Not many.
The crowd in the afternoon was con-
s.dcred an immense one, but when
evening came Hartmsn's Hall contain
ed the largest number OF people ever
congregalod together under It's one
root. it WAS estimated BY Mr.. Hart
man that fully 5000 were present. lt
was almost lmpossi ole 20 move about.
The galiares. stage snd auditorium
were one sea of humanity and 10 ap-
peared "a n they were mOtlOniess. But
then the NOISE would quickly dispel such
thought. The wheel OF fortune aud
Spinning Jenny operators were pro-
claiming themselves in a manner which
was indicative of the fact that they
were determined on plying their trade.
WurEburg & Br0nsons band was at the
same time rendering the gay waitzes Of
Strauss and other famed artists, from
an mprOvsed and hidden gallery over
the stage.
10 would be simply impossible to
give an accurate description OF the en-
tire scene "A it appeared. IL looked
Ike grand panoramic view. The
ladies we're attred in the most unique
costumes imaginable. The oriental A..
the ancient and modern were all
b,Cuded together. Some wore the Jap
anese dress. and when trio OF them
would get together they would look for
all the world ike the "tnree little
MAIDS from school" Others were at
tired ln the height Of fashion, with y
and dacOl.ette cut bOdIces. Young
grIs were dressed to represent grand
mothers. while some of tine older ladies
were iusf tine reverse. and tried 90 al
fect Eddlness when would have be-
came them far better years ago. But
then they were there for the one pur-
pose-tbat of making the iair a sue
cess The usual reserve was dispensed
