THE FAIRS SECOND WEEK.
The Returns More Satisfactory Than
the First.

LQ0 f1rSC.
Last night closed the second week of the
Regimental fair, and the committee in
charge reported better returns than the
n opening week, and intimated that withal
the returns were not as much as was ex-
peoted when the fair was inaugurated. The
greater portion of the money spent came
out of the pockets of the military men, and
the officers feel that the civilian portion of
the community has not shown their appre-
citation of the citizen soldiery anyUhi ng
y like what was expected.
The crowd was a good one for Saturday
q right, and fair return was reported by the
81 managers of the different tables. The Blues
8 did the best business and probably took in
Z the largest amount of money. The contest
for the diamond ring, to be awarded to the
most popular young miss, attracted greas
4 attention. While the votes were being
counted it was almost impossible 60 get
near the table. The contest resulted in
favor of Miss Eta Read, who had 1927
votes, against 904 for Miss Berrien and 555
for Miss Theckla Schwarz.
The announcement of Miss Reads victory
was received with considerable cheering by
her friends. who seemed to be largely in
the majority. The lucky young miss is
only u years old. and belongs to CRANKY,
Conn. She is here on a visit to her uncle,
Albert F. Dewey, and has made host OF
friends by her charming manners, as was
evidenced by her securing the prize last
night.
