man Poets.

chanics' Pavilion will close tomorrow
(Monday) night, and not without the re-
grets of those who have regularly at
tended the affair from the first and en-
joyed season of innocent fun and amuse-
inent. The fair would have closed last
evening, but the management was re-
quested TO keep open doors for two more
evenings. There are hundreds who have
not been able to attend who desire to do
so. and those who have expressed their
pleasure that the occasion be prolonged.
1t was a glimpse of old Fatherland and
they did not want the curtain to fall
sooner than was absolutely necessary.
Even those who have no claim upon
Germany were pleased with the oppor-
tunity of seeing how the Germans live and
enjoy life, an opportunity and an object
lesson not often presented to the American
public.
The social success of the occasion is not
to be questioned. Those who have at
tended will vouch for that. The financial
situation, too, has been a success, and will
be greater when the lights go out and
the tired participants go home. The Ger
man colony wanted to contribute lasting
monument to San Francisco, and had
raised almost enough to crafty its desires.
A few thousand dollars more was wanted,
hence the festival. The preparation for
the fair cost $4,000, and the contributions
in the shape of articles for the lottery
booth and articles for sale were worth at
least $4,000 more. Last evening the returns
showed that all the expenses could more
than be met. Tonight and tomorrow
nights receipts will be clear gain, and the
Goethe-Schiller Monument Association al
most sees its way clear to the realization of
its desires.
The question has been asked, What has
made the festival such q success? It was
the whole-heartedness with which the
COMMUNICATIONS threw themselves into
the movement and their untiring efforts to
make every evening more brilliant than
the preceding. Several hundred ladies
and gentlemen have participated in the
performances every evening at no small
effort and expense, for many have neg
own costumes and also their expenses.
President Charles Bundschu and his
wife have been untiring in their efforts.
Mrs. f. Hess IS the president of the ladies'
auxiliary committee and her work has
been enough to turn the head of an ordi-
nary business man. Still she mastered it
and filled the difficult position OF directress
of the lottery booth.
To Z. w. Dohrmann and his family no
small credit is due for their efforts. They
have worked earnestly and long. In his
efforts Mr.. Dohrmann has been ably
assisted by Miss A. Beguelin, Mrs. NJ.
Furley, Miss n. Welsh, Miss l.. Kompf,
e. Conradi, Miss b. Honigsber Miss A.
Anderson, Miss E. Hauschildt, Miss II.
Son, Miss E. Knerr and Miss Wiener.
Another enthusiastic worker is Janos
GeIenday an artist from Paris, who gra-
titously furnished all of the bewitching
49, l, La Z
the popular Hungarian booth. These are
but few of those who have entered heart
and soul into the festival and made it
success in order to present to San Francisco
monument of Germany's immortal
bards. Goethe and Schiller.
Yesterday afternoons matinee attracted
large attendance and the programme
was varied and pleasing.
In the evening the pavilion was crowded
and there was not one but what went
home pleased with having been present.
Tomorrow night the programme will be
altered and all the booth performances
will close at 10 O'Clock. Articles for sale
will be put from sight and the booths
thrown open. The floor will be cleared
and the Goethe Schiller festival will close
with grand ball.
