With Other Attractions

The Washington Hebrew Fair operates as
a progressive continuity OF success. It's
third night was q magnet which attracted
as large crowds as its two predecessors
with no abatement Of interest.
Last night truly served the intended pur-
pose OF giving q glimpse OF Egypt, SO far
as decorative effect goes. Booths had
peeh changed greatly in adornment To con-
form more faithfully tn the idea of the East,
with notable excellence that was highly
appreciated. Lights were more subdued
and a more artistic blend of coioripg was
achieved. Decorations will remain as they
are now Iof the remainder or this week.
TAKES TIME TO SEE 1T.
Little wonder, Though, that the fair is
crowded. There is really so much to see
tiiat one, two or three visits viii not give
comprehensive idea of its entirety of de-
tail. One stops long to enjoy certain
feature, and time slips by on golden wings,
SO mat successive visits are necessity.
Elsie Lower, the renowned little WASH
inEton danseuse, gave exhibitions OF French
dancing last night. The recall was so hearty
and prolonged as to be irresistible, and she
gave Spanish waltze. When the phrase
poetry of motion" was coined, the coiner
surely must have had Miss Lower in mind.
{ She appeared in an empire gown of yellow
tuiie ana Imposing GaiiiSborough hat. Those
who saw The grace of her movements will
be delighted 10 know that she is 10 be the
stage attraction on other nights of the fair.

RECEIPTS STILL IN BIG FIGURES.
The receipts from all sources last night
were 1880. This is not as much as
on the two previous evenings, but il must
be horne in mind that there were no large
cash donations last night, so that other
wise the fair was doing just as big a
business as before.
Dancing did not begin until 1890 last
night. More dancers were there than any
evening so far.

The fair is the very largest function in
town. ItseemstIs grow in popularity each
succeeding evening.
