the grand Tuscarora annual encamp-
ment at Calder's park. The commence
nlent was most suspicious and gives
assurance that dhe encampment will
be a grand success in every respect.
The attendance yesterday was larger
than even the most sanguine expected,
as it was the intention to do little more
than get everything in order for the
grand displays of the three succeeding
days Still there was an attendance of
something like $500 people.
AN ENCHANTING SCENE.
The scene at the park in the evening
was enchanting, the numerous electric
lights, Chinese lanterns and torches
throwing their rays on the waters of
the lake and among the green bowers
and leafy trees, with the people NOV
ing around among the tents and the
glades and bowers was ike fairy land.
The aanusen1ents ana attractions
were of great extent and variety. AT
one time six performances, the gun
juggier, sparring match, baseball game,
holding up the mail COACH band con-
cert and the Criterion quartette were
going on simultaneously. The political
talk and pow-wOws were a leading fea-
ture and attracted large and apprecia-
tive audiences, who were both instruct
ed and amused
Last night there were about sixty
tents pitched on the grounds, many of
them very large and accommodating
from ten to thirty people each. The
tent of Grand Sachem Powers is the
first the Visitors see on entering the
grounds. 1t is decorated on the out
side with SKINS bows and arrows, TOM
ahawks and trophies of the battle and
the chase. The other tents are lined
along the borders Of the lake and are
decorated with many devices peculiar
TO the Tuscarora tribe.
The Midway Plaisance is a prime at
traction and shows of miscellaneous
kinds are going from early morning
till midnight There are Egyptian,
Arabian and American fakirs, singers,
dancers and games of many kinds
music vocal and instrumental, floats on
the air and everything in the Midway
is life and hustle.
The Denhalter rifles are camped on
the grounds and gave an exhibition
drill last evening.
-fhe fun was kept up till past mid
might. when the jolly campers betook
themselves to their tepees. OF course
many of the visitors returned to the
city last evening, but hundreds camped
in the park, The guests of the braves.
Grand Sachem Powers was congratu-
lated on all hands on the UNQUALIFIED
success of the carnival and his two
right hand men, Morris Sommer and
George Wallace Williams, were loudly
praised for their part in making the
public such an original and striking
