most every respect a most magnificent
spectacle and many of the visitors who
attended, some of them every day and

they looked for the last time on the
beautiful sight. All day yesterday and
far into the evening, the spacious the
ater was thronged with Scranton's best
people, and the ever-moving concourse
of visitors presented panorama Of
changing colors. beautiful costumes and
bright and interested faces. There was
q very general request for the con-

days more. but the, theater could not
be engaged, as other attractions are
booked.

and artistic arrangement, this show
was par excellence.
