The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-09-25

their staff and the pretty girls on the floor,
who like all the girls prefer the military TO
the civilians, had good chance to flirt with
the gOld-laced and goid-buttoDed officers to
their hearts content
In the afterD DON there was a matinee for
children, and the attendance was large and
nearly every booth had made special pre-
paTati0ns for the entertainment OF the
youngsters.
The Altenheim booth had comcal grab
bag arrangement where the children dropped
their nickels and a boy. specially engaged
for the occasion, did the rest.
Toys and candy were distributed in every
nook and corner, and the big candy booth
did an immense business.
The candy stand is big feature at all
times, and Mrs. Schwerdt's corps OF tw enty
GOddesses Of Liberty are hard working
crowd.
But last night was q surprise to the most
sanguine admirer of the fair.
There wes absolutely no vacant space on
the main floor, and many took refuge in the
galleries, which we're open for the first time
this week
1t is peculiar fact that every night of
this week fair had an increased attendance
from the night before
People who were there once go again, and
those who have not seen the sights are
anxious to have chance to see them before
the festival closes.
Otto Mueser, one Of the most indefatiga-
Bile workers OF the finance committee, said
that the receipts, exclusive of yesterday,
amounted to 1880, and yesterdays re-
ceiDts he estimated at $1,000.
Twenty-Five thousand five hundred dol.
lars given 10 charity in FIVE days is not a
bad record for San Francisco.
Mrs. HillebTandt, that charming blonde
fairy Of the Altenheim booth, had sur
prise yesterday.
Two days ago she had the good fortune 10
al NJ WV n hari h xy it,of al
admirer for 500.
Yesterday the same man approach ed Mrs.
Hiilebrandt again and told her that sprig
looked lonely and wanted a mate.
So another ivy sale and another S100 are
now TO the credit of that busy blonde, who
has done so much toward making the fair
the success it Is.
A German barber, who donated dozen
bottles OF hair restorer to the perfumery-
stand, nearly had a fit last night.
He took his frau 10 the fair, and when
he came up to the stand where his donation
was for sale, he felt proud.
"PleaSe give me bottle Of the best hair re-
storer you have" said he, producing a we'll
filed purse and getting ready to make an
ostentatious display,
The young lady in charge does not know
yet why that customer turned pale and left
without purchasing what he so plainly had
asked for
1t was because she handed him a bottle of
stuff manufactured by that BARRIERS hated
rival who also had sent O contribution to
the fair.
E. A. Otto, chairman of the amusement
committee, assisted by ii. Wigger and 9TH
ers have lots OF work to do, and they do it
WELL
The grand march came off as usual last
night and was followed by drill executed
under the command OF Colonel w. z. Sulli-
van by the ladies and gentlemen of the
American BOOTH
That drill corps consists of fourteen girls
and twelve young men uniformed in blue,
white and gold and they are ine-l0oking
crowd.
Miss Caroline Luhrs, the first sergeant, is
not only very pretty girl but she has
caught the military spirit and when she
drills her steps are entirely correct and
graceful.
Miss f. FrauenhoIz is the second lieuten-
ant and a cutter looking soldier never but
toned uniform.
Another valuable addition to the Ameri-
can booth is Miss Estelle Meyer, who as
Germania keeps company with Uncle Sum.
Miss Meyer is queenly blonde and she
dresses and acts the part she represents
perfectly.
The ladies Of the Altenheim booth, In
costumes of Louis XIV time. danced
dainty gavotte last night, and they were so
very efficient that their dance was greatly
admired.
Dr.. Stoessel produced three scenes from
Faust as tableanx vivants. They were
all from the famous garden scene, and the
following was the cast: Marguerite, Miss
Z. Schmidt; Faust. f. II. Hilbert; Martha,
Mrs. W. Irelan Jr.; Mephistopheles, VIII
liam Haake Jr.
All these people were from the old Ger
man wineroom, and they performed their
various parts like veteran actors and act
resses.
That wiDeroom has been sadly neglected
by the press so far.
1t is really one of the most artistic booths
and certainly the coziest place in the whole
pavilion, aud Mesdames Mueser, Winter
burg, Graf, lrelan. Sutro, Zifferer and Frank
are charming hostesses.
The Misses Bastheim, Hnrichs, Bach,
Saudarini, Meyer. Fuller, Schmidt, Adels-
dorffer and all the other pretty Marguerltes
do the honOrs of the place with delightful
readiness and their radiant faces make the
wine taste ever so much better In that place
than anywhere else.
The great fresco paintings on which Mr..
Rappenbach has expended so much time and
ski are gems OF art and of much value.
Some costly gifts are to be ratified later on
In this wine booth and the ladies are active
selling tickets carefully avoiding Oversolici-
iting.
In Mrs. Rosenthaps floral temple several
10-cent bouquets have brought SO and SIS
pieces. and the fair hustlers for that booth
have established record for themselves as
Industrious workers for agood cause.
Mrs. Bacbman's beauties sold sugar cigars
TO the children yesterday afternoon and
fragrant havanas to the gentlemen during
the evening hours.
= These Spanish cigar girls have hosts Of
admirers and every one Of them is con-
stantIy surrounded by crowd OF acquain-
tanceS.
