during the entire evening and people con-
stantly coming and going, so that through
out the evening there visited the hall
great many more people than could get
into the hall at onco. Much of the time
the hall was so full that IL was only with
difficulty that one could get from booth
to booth The galleries also were filled
with those who preferred TO avoid the
crowd and watch the gay scene from a
little distance. and hear TO best advantage
the music that was furnished by the
Ialma Ladies' Orchestra of IL pieces.
The bazaar has proved such an attrac-
tiOn and the accommodntions as large rs
they are, so insufficient for the vast
crowds that constantly throng the nall
that IL has besn decided TO open the doors
at 10 "A. III. both today and tom orrow aud

dinner in the hall rs well As supper, and
those who wish 10 90 TO do shopping can
stay as long a they please
