VERY UNIQUE SHOW
THE ElSTREET IN AMSTERDAM,,
ENTERTAINMENT ON MAC
KUBIN STREET.
GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH.
DAINTY DUTCH MAIDENS IN
WOODEN SHOES DELIGHT
ED THE CROWD
EVERYTHING FOR A NICKEL.
So Well Did 1t Succeed That 1t
VIII he Repeated To-
night.

The red and yellow light of many
Chinese lanterns, an occasional out
burst of spectacular red fire, fair
faces between spreading white
aprons and bulging white caps, &C.
centric music and five cents admis-
sion, distinguished Mackubin street
last night, between Portland and
Holly avenues, from every other
American thoroughfare. "A Street
in Amsterdam" it was to be, but the
ladies of the Park Congregational
church attempted in vain to present
their friends a vision of elephantine
Dutch maids and matronS with hay
tinted hair and china blue eyes.
Nor, perhaps, was there enough to-
bacco smoke. But the wooden
shoes were sufficiently ample, ana
the ladies who devised the costumes
might have travelled with De AmiciS.
What, too, more Dutch than the air
of PLACID tranquility with which the
white-cap DANES received twice as
many visitors as were expected, and
therefore twice as many nickels?
Nickels, indeed, were demanded on
every side with a wonderful frugal
ity. Even the German remarks
which were offered in lieu of genuine
HollandeSe were only extracted from
prettily twisted lips by the sug-
gestion that certain nickels would
probably be rendered for wiener
wurst or pretzels.
The ladies' society of the church,
under the leadership of Mrs. J. lex
Ter, their president, were surely
fortunate in having a unique out
door entertainment on a clear and
balmy evening. For several hours
the entire enclosure, a block in
length, was filled with a delighted
crowd. The affair proved so emf
nently successful that it will be re-
peated tonight unless inclement
weather intervenes. The household
ers along the street will again gen.
erously cooperate to the extent Of
illuminating their residences and
decking their lawns with paper lam
terms.
OF the various attractions none
were better patronied than the
Dutch" or German garden, where
characteristic German dishes were set
forth on little ''biergarten" tables be-
meath the trees. The absence of lager
was more than compensated for by
the presence of bright eyed waiter
girls whose ample Marguerite braids
would entangle the last nickel of a
miser. THE greatest show on earth"

serves particular mention for rea-
sons best known to the INDECENT re-
porters.
