INTERSTATE FAIR.
GRATIFYING SUCCESS OF THE
GREAT SHOW.
Childreh's Day-HoOhOO Day-Seat-
tie and Tacoma Have a Day of
Their Own-The Pioneers Meet
Other Special Days.

TACOMA. Sept. II.
Last week was Children's week at
the Interstate Fair, though it was not
officially so set forth on the programme.
Thursday the news boys OF Seattle and
Tacoma united to paint the place a
glorious crimson, and Saturday some
5000 school children under the age OF
IA were turned loose to enjoy them.
selves to their hearts content.
Naturally, fair officials and conces-
sionaires are but recovering from the
severe nervous strain. The school
children were not so bad, but the ag-
gregation OF newsboys was something
awful. Monday of this week, (Sept
lO) was HOohoo day, and the doings
of the Great Black Cat devotees were
almost as hair-raising and soul-stirring
as those of the Juvenile news vendors
of last week.
Seattle and Tacoma's joint day,
Wednesday, (Sept. 12) has been great
day. By boats and trains the Seattle
people arrived in the city early in the
day and gathered at the fair grounds.
To estimate the crowd would be i'm
possible. The celebration was a VERT.
able love-feast. All past differences
were lost sight of. Over the door of
the entrance was an electric light ef-
feet OF Tacoma and Seattle joining
hands. A warm speech of welcome
was made by Mayor Orr of Tacoma, to
which Mayor Phelps of Seattle re-
sponded. Then beautiful tableau of
Seattle and Tacoma as friends was
presented by Seattle and Tacoma
young ladies. The day concluded
with brilliant illumination of the
grounds and a fine display of fire.
works.
Pioneer day fell on the same date
and gray.bearded old settlers by the
score hob-nobbed OH the grounds and
marveled at the wonders that have
come out of the country whose growth
they have 80 long watched.
The next great day is the Goth
which is Naval day and Port Townsend
day combined. The coast defence
vessel Monterey will be present in the
harbor with such other vessels of the
American and British Boring Sea
fleets as may have returned from the
North. Four war ships, at least, are
expected 10 be present. The majority
OF the crafts of the entire Sound will
also be present and will take part in a
naval parade in the afternoon and in
the great sham battle with fireworks
at night.

Pyrotechnic displays in the evening
have been given several times of late
and have proven most attractive.
The natural beauty OF the grounds
and the fine architectural appearance
of the buildings render an illumina.
ton q sight of more than ordinary
grandeur.
A feature Of the Fair that is attract
ing much attention is the Indian de-
partment. Smithsonian and the
Peabody institutes have contributed
splendid collections of photographs,
while relics, weapons, domestic uten-
sils, canoes, mats, totem poles, bask-
cts and curios gathered from the no.
table collections OF the country COM
plete the department.
Far away in the quite corner near
the hall devoted to the woman's de-
partment is what might be classed AZ
a unique exhibit. There the CHART.
able ladies of Tacoma, the managers
OF the Sheltering Arms institution,
have in operation a day nursery where
mothers may leave their babies while
on a tour of the Fair. Cribs and
cradles, with dainty white beddinps,
are filled almost every hour in the day
with sleeping infants.
