ANOTHER BIG CRUSH
High School Night at the Teachers
Bazaar.
THOUSANDS WERE KEPT OUT
Some of the Features of the
Evening.
TONI HTS PROG M

The doors of Convention Hall were
thrown open to the public for the fourth
session of the teachers bazaar last evening
at o'clock. Just thirty minutes later the
police ordered the same doors closed, after
fully 1000 of the same public had passed
into the hall, and other thousands were
fast gathering outside. 1t was but repe-
tition of The big crowd of Tuesday evening,
only on a larger scale, as some declared
The date had been set aside IS High School
night and the pupils of the higher 1nsti-
tutions of learning were jubilant over the
fact that they drew a larger attendance
than the third division, but the latter
smiled as complacently as of yore. and
called attel ton to the fact that the East
ern High School is within the bounds Of
the third, and therefore it's supporters are
third division people.
The pretty High School girls turned out
en- masse. They went early and were
nearly all inside when the doors were
closed. Shortly after o'clock the reg-
ment of High School Cadets. eight COM
panies entered to Sousa'S High School
Cadets March," and was loudly cheered
At 8 o'clock, when the Washington Light
Infantry Corps, under command of Maj.
Burton R. Ross, and headed by the ]. B.
Henderson Drum Corps, drew nigh. 1t
seemed utterly impossible to crowd an
other person into the building. 1t was
plainly apparent that the doors could not
be opened, so once again the bridge leading
from the National Guard Armory was
pressed into service, and the military ooZed
in, so to speak.
Pushed the Entrance.
After waiting outside for an hour or
more many of those locked out departed,
but bowling mob of small boys made
things generally hideous by pushing SHOW
ing and yelling. Finally some one. who
possessed a large bur CHI Of keys found one
that would turn the bolt of one of the
outer doors, and before the police and door
keepers could check tho rush several nun
dred additional persons had forced an en-
trance into the already denseiy packed
hall.
High School Night.
There WIS not the slightest doubt that it
was High School night, for Immediately
after the entrance of the High School Ca
diets the well-known yells of the various
schools rent the air with ear-piercing vio-
ence. The breakyco-ax-co-aX of the Cen
trail was met with the ineXtinguShable
wee wah of the Business, while the East
ern and Western were by no means silent.
When the management Informed the boys
that the cries were doing the bazaar con-
siderable harm, it may be said to their
credit that they discontinued the same at
once. A majority of the cadets then de-
fore docile camel, and the poor beast be-
came so perturbed in spirit that it actually
baked with two commissioned officers on
it's back, and refused to move until per-
nitted to face about and return to its stall.
Special Features.
Mrs. w. B. Patterson was N charge of
the administration booth last evening, while
those who received were Mrs. Allan Davis,
representing the Business High School;
Miss Rita Spaulding from the Eastern. Miss
Della D. Mussey of the Central and Miss
Edith c. Wescott from the Western. The
high schools have won the reputation of
doing we'll whatever they undertake, and
not only last evening, but every night since
the opening CT the bazaar, throngs have
crowded the gaily decorated booths:
number of special features represent the
combined efforts of the members of some
section of the school. One of those at the
Eastern has made a speciality of handker
chiefs, and at the Eastern booth may be
found everything in the handkerchief line.
from the cotton specimen to the most eX-
quisite cobweb creations of handmade
lace
secure aprons of all kinds, and an effort
has been made to obtain a representative
apron of each state in the Union. Another
section. has furnished a wonderful silk
squares made by several male members of
the faculty. A great many fancy articles
have been donated by individual pupils, in
Guiding beautifully embroidered doilies and
center pieces. one of which is the work of
a first year boy. Lamp shades are also
shown in profuse array, and a striking
feature is a doll dressed as a foot ball
player. 1t Is intended as a gift for care
less child, for the more the doll is banged
and broken the greater will be its likeness
to the character it represents. Among the
other articles offered for sale are field
glasses, apple sachets, white boas, Turkish
la,
pan and Mexican drawn work While Of
fering much for admiration and purchase.
the Eastern booth has also reserved a
space for science and fun The boys of the
school have arranged a basin of water in
the bottom of which is a gold dollar. By
paying 5 cents any one can have try at
the dollar. As the water is charged with
electricity, i. is not an easy matter to
reach the coin, being decidedly ticklish, to
say the least.
The Central makes a speciality of en-
broiderles and smelling salts, the Western
buttons and the Business a cleansing fluid,
said to possess remarkable qualities. The
Western has a Delphic oracle, which di-
vulges the fate of the fortunate, we'll
the wonderful camel and the sedan and
rolling chairs.
