evening. Ilere was AIN UoeWeou VnO
hours Of 6 and 7, but bountiful supply
OF provisions had been secured and the
quality of meals served to those who
came late did not suffer from the rush OF
patrons. Too much cannot be SAID In
praise of the untiring zeal and energy OF
the ladies. The visitors may have had
favorite cafes chosen, but the number OF
patrons was so large that they readily
accepted chance to secure luncheon In
any OF the number. The decorations
were generally admired by the visitors,
and the ladies were frequently compli-
mented on their artistic taste.
sHRINERS' DAY.
Yesterday was Shriners Day and the
Mobiles OF Osiris Temple were present
in full force, attred in dress suits, and
accompanied by their wives and lady
friends. The Shriners met in the lodge
room on the fourth floor at Z o'clock,
and proceeded to the cafes to discuss
the luncheon prepared for them by the
ladies. They were distributed among
the rooms, aud each room was scene
OF congenial merriment. Each wore the
nobbv "fez," and the general effect was
very pleasing TO spectators.
At 1920 o'clock, and continuing I'M
til after midnight, a dance was given
on the fourth floor Of the Temple. The
Opera House Orchestra rendered an ex-
celleut programme OF selections, and
the floor was filed with the terpslcho-
rean devotees, all Of whom found the
occasion one OF wholesome pleasure
This was an attractive feature last
night, and was in q measure RESPONSE
Bile for the large attendance.
The Shriners mingled with the crowd
In the main hall, and contributed large
" toward making last evening one OF
the most enjoyable Of the fair.
ON MIDWAY
the same scenes were enacted as on the
previous evening. An amusing feature
on Wednesday evening was the antics
of an apparently unsophisticated coun-
try Jacob. He entered the hall with a
gripsack and purchased freely OF chew
Ing gum, peanuts and other delicacies
which cannot be secured down on the
farm" The "Reuben" was wall
known gentleman OF Market street. He
left, promising to return this evening.
The Irish policeman again made hit,
and the offenders who were brought be-
fore the mock court enriched the treas
urv of the committee by a handsome
sum. The amount received from fines
on Wednesday evening aggregatesebout
S3s.
Each booth last night presented new
attractions, and the ladies will endeayor
TO present different programme each
evening until the bazaar closes. The
refreshment booths were well patron
lied; the gyDsies did thriving bust
ness in revealing 1.-The past, present and
future" for modest stipend; the
Masonic goat creates no end OF merri-
ment; every feature, In fact, proved In
tsresting, and contributed toward max
ing the bazaar as a whole, the most sue
cessful agar OF the kind ever given in
this city.
The cocoa booth presided over by q
bevy OF winsome ladies, is proving a
very attractive feature.
Last night concert was given at the
Irish village, and ii proved signal
success. The programme was placard-
ed on the outer walls in true theatrical
style, and proved profitable advertise
ment. 1t was as follows:

FOR SWEET CHARITY.
The general committee held a meet
ing last night and decided TO continue
the bazaar on Monday evening Of next

ceipts will be given 10 the City Hos
pital, and one-half for the relief
Of the unemployed. On this occasion
the commodious store room on the first
floor will be thrown open, thus
throwing the entire building OF four
floors into one big bazaar. The COM
mittee will endeavOr 10 make Monday
night the most successful in a financial
sense, and to this end will provide at
fractions that have not and will not be

TO aid the deserving poor, and at the
same time spend pleasant and profta-
BILE evening at the bazaar.
