In THE EVENING.
A Ball Without Dancers-Fireworks
Draw a Crowd.


II was apparent early in the day that
yesterdays admissions had beaten the
record. At noon $1,000 had passed the
turnstiles. BY o'clock the total admis-
sions reached 1887, and still people en-
tered at the gales. The crowds were
handled at the turnstiles with consum-
mate skill. Major Fielder. the chief of ad-
missions. spent the day at the different
gates, and the men in charge admitted the
entering crowds without hitch.
The crowd at the fireworks was larger
than at any previous pyrotechnic display.
The grand stand was well filled and the
space in front Of Festival Hall was occu-
pied by solid mass of people. A special
programme had been arranged for the
children, and many of the set pieces were
of burlesque character. Among the new
designs was a representation of the clock
and the mouse which ran up and down as
the clock struck one, to the tune of Dick
cry. dickery, dock"
The am bulance of the Emergency Hos
pital was kept busy during the day, and
thirty-six cases were treated by DR.. Reg
ems burger and his staff. Fortunately, there
were no serious accidents. The majority
of the patients were treated for nothing
ness and similar consequences attendant
upon too much sweet sodawater. Two
bows fell from swing and fractured an
arm apiece. They were the only serious
cases. Their names are James Collins and
Andrew Maginn.
The fancy dress ball Of all nations, for
which Franz Joseph Hall of the Vienna
Praler had been especially secured yester-
day evening, was remarkable for its abb
sence of dancers.
! A fairly large number of spectators as
sembed in the gallery and the boxes. but
the programme had been one-third played
through and it was nearly IL o'clock be-
fore any one injured on the floor. Then
grand march was formed, consisting of
only nine persons. The dancing which
followed was performed by few Isolated
couples, who were almost lost in the vast
ness of the building.
