And the two started away again.
What success they met with has not
yet been learned, but TO Judge from
the bunches OF tickets some of the De-
troit Sir Knights afterwards exhibited,
II must have been exceedingly hatter-
ing.
The far is now running along as
smoothly as # it were an established
! business. The attendance yesterday was
very large, it being estimated at 10000
people. At IS o'clock last night 1t was

place TO another. From the stage, the
galleries and auditorium was one sea
or human beings. 10 was so crowded
that It was impossible for the Detroit
COmmanGery to give their exhibition
drill. All that could be gone through
with were the sword exercises. These
were done with such precision, how
ever, that the knights received storms
of applause.
The Nnteenth United States Infantry
band, OF Fort Wayne, accompanied the
DetrOiters here, and last night they
took the plSce OF Wurzburg & Bronson's
band. The selections were rendered so
cxcellently that there We're frequent
outbursts OF enthusiasm. Alto o'clock

The bgnrsmaa's Farewell ~Mendlesohn
The numbers were given IN faultless
manner, and after the first selection
they were encOred three times. These
gentlemen are supposed to be four OF
the finest singers IN Detroit.
Last night, rs on the day before, was
gwen up to the amusement OF the hour
and the visitors We're given a touch of
of the true Grand Rapids hosp tality.
They were shown all that couia be seen
IN one evening, aud they no doubt saw
many sights which really caused their
eyes to open just little wider.
''Ihe art gallery, or Masonry ex-
posed" )" is = place where one is bound
to gradually drift into If ne stays in the
hall long enough. jacob Barth,
Jr., occupies 4 stand on the
outside, and in regular side show
fake style cries forth in loud
stentOrisn tones the wonderful sights
% be seen within. The visitor must
first advance 40 cents before ne is ad-
mltted into tae mysterious cabinet. On
entering, he IS greeted By a young lady
who, IN whispering tones, says that she
has been threatened, aye threatened to
have her tongue torn out by the roots
If she dares 20 expose masonry. At
/ the same time she informs her visitor
that size viii brave all these threats
simply TO crafty q curious public. In
her hand she carries branch which
much resembles = magic wano IN
! spectacular show. This she nourlsbes
about m q solemn manner, after which
she commences a brief lecture. The
cabinet Is filled with mysterious articles
and she illustrates how IN ges past
they were used by toe fathers Of Ma
sOnry. She extracts promise from
ali who visits her to never reveal the
secrets, and as punishment TO those
who do she InVOkes the vengeance of
her magic wand. All we can say is
that Masonry IS exposed. THIS IS as
far as i ls possible 10 20; those who
wish to learn more will have to see for
themselves.
"katsha, the Fortune Teller" is an
other slgn which greets the vision Of
al visitors. She Is located in one Of
the dressing rooms. There she waits
for some person 20 cross her palm with
silver. She CLAIMS to be freshly inn
/ ported from japan, and she has
not "A yet been scclmated
