Tacoma has an idea Seattle does things
up brown. and today many grown up
peopls turned out simply to see
what ths Seattle newsboys could
do By way Of keeping up the
reputation OF their town. The
Interstate fair il big show. but the news
boys in themselves constituted big show
also. They amused the grown mp folks
who went to see them more than circus
with dozen rings.
The Tacoma newsboys went down 10 the
dock 10 meet the visitors when the Flyer
arrived at 9:I5. a m, the Evening Hssrs boys
going in body. and the Posr-IsTELLr-
sESczR bureau boys and others with the
crowd. There were cheers for Tacoma
mountain. On the way mp town Hyams.
Pauson & Co. 3 band ssrenadsd the local
store. and then the procession marched
down Pacific avenue, past the. Posr-IsrEr-
IfGKScER bureau and the Morning Union
Office. and mp c street past the Neses aud
Ledger Offices. The boys con-
Quoted themselves In derisive
manner while marching past the Ledger
IL 81. o af~ Assan al
of that Office employing rat printers In
stead OF union men. Meanwhile a large
delegation slipped out of the ranks and
fed up to the Interstate fair
grounds. They could not or rather would
not wait for the procession. They took
possession OF the fair, and their yells could
be heard on all sides. They managed
to register at the PosT-ISrELLIeENcER
headquarters just as grown-up folks do,
but some of them appeared on the register
under curious and wonderful titles. one
lad going down simply as "Toughy."
They failed TO take in everything
at glance and be in a half
dozen places at one time, but be-
fore the day was over they had
explored the recesses of the buildings and
grounds. even going so far as to crawl
building on the grounds. and there yell
and hurrah for Seattle.
Mcconnell. the cyclorama man, was not
out of bed when the first delegate arrived.
but thew made short work of getting him
out. When they had him dressed they
had him open his show in q hurry.
After that they tried to run things st the
merry-go-round. At first they did not
Int sy.af
and yet they were not satisfied. They
wanted the music box to play three tunes
simultaneously, and to that end COM
mittse was appointed to turn the crank ut
lightning speed. This aroused the merry
go-round man and he fired the boys.
or tried to do SO. After this there
was no more merry-go-round. At the
Indian village the boys guyed the braves.
The girls In the Turkish theater were
guyed, also, and applauded until the boss
dancer appeared three times. Still the
boys refused to so. They wanted moro of
the serpentine dance. and stood upon
the chairs and yelled and applauded.
Finally the manager, whom they knew
only as Jersey City" that being the
counterpart OF his Turkish name,
had to suspend business while the boys
were enticed outside to ride the camels
| and donkeys.
The scenic railway caught their eye also.
| They arrived before the thing was in ope-
ration, and as the cars were chained
| they could not open Ii themselves,
SO they walked over the tracks, and
screamed in the tunnel until people
| thought the Indians from the wigwam
village were massacring the whole crowd
| Of youngsters.
At noon the boys ate Chilberg's restau-
rant in the main building out of house
and home. They were rapacious eaters,
these lads from King county. At o'clock
the boys left by the Flyer and the town
| quieted down.
Boone's animals will leave San Diego to-
| morrow for the fair.
