IRISH VILLAGE.
tested. At noon the ladies served meals,
and again at 6 o'clock. Last night the
interior Of the hall presented pleasing
appearance. The throng of visit
ors made it at times impossible
to move about with any degree of com.
fort. The different attractions we're
patronized with a liberality which in
sures the success OF the affair in a
financial sense. At the refreshment
booths it was at times impossible to
attend to the wants Of all the patrons,
and the general committee has decided
to make additional room for the re-
mainder of the week.
The scenes enacted in the large hall
during the evening were but repeti-
tion Of the opening night, with the ex-
ception that the crowd was larger.
Patrons were pushed from place TO
place, while the male assistants, and
the bevy Of charming girls iu fanciful
attire, fitted hither and thther, and
were kept busy In attending to the
wants of the scores of customers. Every.
thing was suggestive Of the original
attraction at the Fair, the cos
tunes OF the ladies and gentlemen
the booths and their surroundings, and
even the noise was faithful reproduce
tion Of the horrible din of the Midway.
The Opera House orchestra rendered
programme of excellent numbers dur
ing the evening, but the beautisul
melody was lost in remote corners Of
the hall. The Irish policeman was via
liant and watchful, aud he hustled Of
tenders before the mock court with a
sprghtiness that reminded one OF the
little Arabs In the streets OF Cairo.
Judge Post, with mock dignity, heard
the evidence against each offender and
imposed nominal fines. The revenue
from this frature was quite large, while
the merriment which it caused wade it
one of the most amusing features OF
Midway.
The Contest Committee has disposed
Of a good many tickets, and number OF
valuable gifts are on exhibition. The
committee is composed of 7. b. Nc
Lain, chairman; +. C. Schoen, secreta-
ry; Peter Boyd, George Hall, w. II.
Manning, E. B. Franzheim and others.
The Masonic goat illusion was another
stellar attraction. A number of young
ladies went into the booth to examine
the animal, and each made guesses at
the number of goats for prize OF a
pair of gloves offered by Main street
dry goods merchant. They all failed.
The Irish village, Turkish booth,
gypsy camp and other features, were
we'll patronized, and each was the CEN
ter Of an admiring crowd at all times
during the evening. To-day the entire
programme will be changed and new
attractions will be provided. The la
dies are untiriug in their efforts to pre-
sent something new each evening,
which is equivalent to saying that the
bazaar is entirely different every night
On the third floor are the various
cafes where meals and luncheon can be
secured during the afternoons and even
ings. This feature is very interest
ing one. The ladies' provide substan-
tial meals, and many business men are
patronizing the cafes instead of the
restaurants about the city. The Old
Vienna cafe is in charge of Mrs. Barr,
assisted by Mrs. Henry Harper, Mrs.
Sam Norton, Mrs. John Rice, Mrs.
Cranmer Cald well, Misses Mary Wilson
and Lee Hervey. This cafe is pattern
ed ritter the famous one Of the same
name.
The German Cafe is presided over by
Mrs. Harry Franzheim, Mrs. Albert A.
Franzheim, Miss Phillips, Mrs. Henry
Speyer, assisted by a number OF other
Young ladies'. The decorations are very
pretty, the colors being those Of the
German standard.
The Marine Cafe attracted much
favorable comment and liberal patron
age. The decorations consist mostly of
netting. Mrs. Mat Chew. Mrs. Joe
Metcalf, Miss McFadden, Misses Matte
Wheat and Edith Ewing are in charge.
Mrs. c. E.. Van Keuren has charge of
the Knights Templar cafe, which is
one OF the prettiest and most popular Of
all. The banners of the order figure
prominently In the decorations. The
other ladies Ia charge are Mrs. Bran
haus, Mrs. Ed. Wheat, Mrs. Joe Robin
son, Mrs. Worls and Miss White.
At the Wellington cafe, one OF the
Coolest spots at the bazaar, Mr.. Dob
bins, Mrs. Creighton and Mrs. Olson are
in charge.
The Casino cafe, patterned after the
one at the big fair, was in charge OF
Mrs. Robert Darrah, assisted by Mrs.
Charles Reed, Mrs. William Higgins
and Miss Ella Reed.
It has been found necessary to use
the entire building TO accommodate
the patrons of the bazaar. The fourth
floor is given over to the gentlemen as
smoking apartments. Cigars are on
sale at booth at the head Of the stair
way, Many gentlemen took advantage
last evening of the opportunity TO get
rest after INDUCING in the. exciting
SCI es along the Midway, tenjoy a
20 smoke and quiet chat.
