The sixth division made particularly
good showing last evening. A feature that
pleased the young folks was red school
house, in which thirty-siX dolls, with doll
teacher, We're at work. The exhibit Is a true
representation of the school rooms of the
District. The tiny desks, modelled after
the larger ones, the number tables at the
| rear of the re ON, the blackboard in front,
with the teachers desk at one side Of the
room. all gave correct idea of the real
appearance of the rooms. The sixth SEEM
ed to be especially loyal to its profession.
1t deals with little folks in real life and
with them in miniature at the bazaar. Dolls
are the speciality of the division, and they
are shown in all sizes, colors and condi-
tons. There is bride dressed in real satin
and orange blossoms, and another in full
evening dress. Then there is William Penn,
apparently shocked by the careless abandon
of ballet girl by his side. Uncle Tom and
10 hn, t,tv,tr Hu-ifh nryp
peasant girl, and dark Castilian beauty
stands contrasted with fair-haired Saxon
baby. Santa Claus presides over corner
in which African. Chinese. American and
German children abide without the least
suspicion of race quarrel. The badges of
the sixth division b worn last evening were
tiny babies clothed in light blue satin
gowns. The division was represented in the
candy booth. and it also conducted the blue

turned over to a counting committee, con-
sisting of Messrs. S. NJ. Ryder. Chas.
F'irckel and s. e. Kramer, who will an
nounce the results Monday.
The list of articles being competed for in
the voting contests resembles a state cleo
tcn ticket in it's length and the number of
entries.
Prominent among the articles which have
attracted attention is a $500 knabe piano. |
which is being voted for by the Central |
High School, the Force School and the |
Harrison School. Until yesterday the Cen |
trail had good lead in the contest, but the |
Force has Unexpectedly developed voting |
ability of high order, and, the pupils |
Of that school intend to Saturday in |
canvassng their wealthy territory, the re- |
suit is in doubt. |
Perhaps no contest will bring the fair |
greater returns from small capital than |
the contest for the officers sword, which Is |
to be voted to the most popular officer Of |
the High School Cadets. Capt. Won Bayer |
of the first battalion is supposed to have |
enoughvotes to overcome any single rival, |
hut there is rumor of a Sword trust
among the officers of the second battalion, |
which may make matters interesting.
In the matter of bicycles the city dealers |
