The city tonight contains more people
| by thousands than Were here last night
Many Of them will go to nearby
| towns TO spend the night Thou
sands who are now here will not
be able to secure sleeping accommodate
| tions except in public parks and the
| Capitol Square. There were prohably
iirty thousand people at the exposition
grounds tonight. The concert of war
song took place there. and the tableaux
! in which the sponsors for Southern
| States appeared. The auditorium
seats comfortably ten thousand people.
| There were probably fifteen thousand
inthe building. They occupied every
space in which a person could STAND.
| The concert was a failure on account
| of the immense crowd and the disorder.
| The singing and the band music was
| fairly good under the circumstances.
| but Polk Miller could rot be heard for
the noise and confusion. All the places
| OF amusement We're overrun. and the
street-cars could rot begin to handle
| the people.
