exceedingly encouraging, and the music
proved very acceptable to those who
have any appreciation Of melody.
The performance In Sanger Hall was
unusually good. and a large crowd en-
joyed the vein OF comedy that ran
through the whole. The entertainment
was THE Train to Mauro." and those
who took part succeeded In keeping the
entire audience in a constant state of
merriment. The participants were:
Messrs. +. II. Peple, 6. a. Peple, A. Jones
and Mrs. Van. Norris.
The beautiful doll at the Solid South

and yesterday ordered three hundred more

left at the tent.
The ladies Of the Tennessee tent lad
lively time last evening when the vot-
ing for the souvenir spoon, to be given
to the most popular young lady, came
to n close. There were about twenty can
didates, but the race finally narrowed
down TO Miss Fannie Mcclure, Of the
Kentucky tent, and Miss Nina Randolph
Of Tennessee Mr.. Greer Baughman acted
as time-keeper. and when he announced
the vote closed Miss Mcclure had 400 and
Miss Randolph 3S3 votes. At the same
moment, however. the lady i'm charge
had received the money for 20 additional
votes for Miss Randolph and she conse-
quently won the prize.

Woody. Of Company G.. Of the old First
| Virginia, and members Of Pickett Camp

| pickle-dish. to be voted TO one OF the ladies'
/ OF the Mississippi tent
To the Missouri tent handsome dona-
ton has been sent from Gunther, the
| confectoner. Of Chicago. The enterprise
OF this tent has been a subject II muoh
! comment during the last few days. and
/ there has been one long. weli-establshed
/ howl for that serviceabls article known
as Kiss Me" tOlu. There is a ring Of
romance about this name which attracts
the sentimental young man much as
the jewelry man attracts the irrepressi-
BILE street urchn. and the ladies wish It
fully understood that any amount Of
the tolu can be had at the Missouri
tent. Don't forget to supply yourself
with proper means by which TO exer-
else the masticating instruments. at the
same time bearing the magic name, kiss
| Me-" in mind.
IL Is quite natural that the coy smok-
ing-room in connection with the Tar
Heel tent should maintain its popularity.
| They charge you one cent per minute 10
enjoy a social chat in this ,empting
littla apartment, and very often an
Interested couple forget the fact that
! time waits for no man, and the young
man has to part with his shekels in
| consequence. Within the smOking-room is
| an air Of delicious ease which cannot be
well resisted. and the pretty little fur-
/ nfshings under soft lamps makes the
room quite attractive.
The ladies OF the Virginia table have
been disappointed in receiving the Con-
federate souvenir spoons at the time
promised but are expecting them daily,
when they will fill all orders already re-
ceived and will be glad TO have others.
