THEY KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH
At midnight the rustic festival of the Wash

been most successful affair and could doubt

week or two longer. But those who have con-
ducteu 1t are physically weary, SO the pleasing
entertainment stops. Financially the results
have been more than satisfactory; the highest
estimate of probable profit has been surpassed
and it has all been done without inflictins upon
tho public any of the polite forms OF torture
common in connection with fairs. An enormous
crowd is looked for tonight.
