DOUS CROWDS.

D Ono of the charming things about the Aoors Fund
.ir all the things there charming in oeir di1er-
Inf ways-is that one can do exactly as one hkes,
ur.ovded OF course, that what one likes do does
mot take too much room. Those who wsh TO walk
about and look at the buildings and the rth and rare
things in the booths can do so undG LIMITATIONS; "
any prefer to sit still and look at the flowing streams
AZ people there Is objection; for thOe who wish
10 possess themselves Of useful orsmcrtal souvenirs
Of the fair there abundant opportunities and when
one does not wish to buy anythn there Is no ex-
cessye urging. The notion that 10 man could go
10 this fair and get on OF 1t with
any money In his pocket was false
one early assumed from the analogy OF other
fairs 1t was the aim Of the msagers to make this
fair attractive in every partiular that it would
have to be successful without thu necessity of making
visitors give up money for thing they did not want
and who has been at the Madison square
Garden this week has denied tie success Of the at
tempt.
II is an old story TO hatthe crowds OF VISITORS
TO the fair are still growing CRATER but II they WI"
keep growing greater the sor, must be told, old as
lit is All yesterday afternoonthe ticket Offices
In state Of siege while half sdOzen men sold tickets
on the Sidewalks and In the estibule at the regular
price. "merely as an accommodation" IN the even
ing 1t yet worse. OF coure. and the question was
finally not much of getting In easily or quickly
as of getting in at all on account of this unexpected
afternoon and evening" will sold at 81 each instead
of at so cents, heretofore.
The lights on the tower of he Garden shown through
O little mist early last eveing, but beauty slightly
yelled is the most fascinating and the tower was
never moro magnetic. 1t rev more and more thou
sands TO the floor and int the arena seats and the
balcony which had not ben full before since the
fair opened. When the ,hoe Garden uncom
fortably filed the Threatening msts cleared away and
the moon tried to rival te brightness of the tower
Yet the tower continued beacon hundreds into the
Garden till II positively seemed If 1t could not be
more crowded anywhere Then all at once the
Black Patti stood up nc platform occupied by the
Office Of the Executive Ommttee and began to sing
and then It thattha part Of the Garden was
capable OF being much mre crowded than 1t was be-
fore, while the opposite ide was so relieved that one
could easily get within aiaId OF the photograph Dooth
without breaking any ris.
A little while after ne Black Patti had sung the
conditions were reverse for then the multitude was
condensed the other side of the Garden where the
voting contest for the ,os popular actress was 10 De
decided. But the difference was that more people
had come I'm now, ad while they seemed to be
packed more closely inths neghborhood no other
part OF the place seemd correspondngy relieved The
contest for the dimond resulted In lis
award to Miss Estele Clayton, who had 24cO votes,
Miss tombstone Bennett standing next with 1'Oo2.
The other voting contsts will remain open for part
of this afternoon ard evening. For the diamond STAR
Agnes Booth had ~ votes last night and Miss
Georgia Cavvan 14s The Twelfth Night Club had
1913 votes for the piano and Sorosis the best com
peator with s. GU Club is still ahead for the Lolita
punch bowl with Is 100 votes, while there are "a
for the Players and 81 for the Catholic Club.
The Shakespeare house Is the most crowded spot
In the fair as awss. 1t has been said that Shakes
peare conferred tho greatest possible blessing on STRAIT
torl-on Avon BY raciOusly permitting himself to be
born there so tina countless visitors might come to
enrich his future ownsmen. But his birthplace was
never 30 thronge before, or at least not since the
famous Garrick CELEBRATION. Everybody VINO comes
into the Garden seems consumed with the desire 10
buy IN actress photograph and to see the ac'%ss
write her name 1t, to be sure that there can De
. no deception But the other end OF the house.
