THE FOOD SHOW.

Is Already an Assured Financial Sue
 cess-Scores of Souvenirs Given
 Away,
 It is certainly a matter of much grat- ification to the management of the food exhibit to be able to announce to the public that the show is already a finan- cial success.
 The crowd yesterday afternoon and night was very good considering the state of the weather. During the day $500 bags of gold dust, from the Klon- dilIe, were given away. Fancy soap, Powder and 800 souvenir spoons were among other articles which visitors re- ceived.
 To-day besides Fairy soap, gold dust and baking powder, flake rice will be distributed.
 An amusing scene was enacted last night at the wagon of Fleischmann's Yeast exhibit. It was announced that they would pass out 800 of their souve- HITS, WnlCn cQIlSlSC or small lIlllldtlOn cakes of yeast, suspended from a small American flag. With this announce ment nearly all the people in the hall rushed to the wagon, and in their anX- iety to get one of the little articles crowded over one another as if they were all receiving free tickets for a trip around the world.
 It took the efforts of two policemen to get the crowd in order, so that each one could secure a sample. The man. ager of the yeast exhibit said last night that 1000 of these souvenirs are given away every day.
 Mrs. Rorer will give a lecture on What to Eat" tonight and tomorrow night on ''The Chafing Dish" Friday afternoon the little tots from St. Fran cis' orphan asylum will be the guests of the show.
 Saturday afternoon the members of the New Haven orphan asylum will be entertained. The managers pay the transportation of. the little ones to and from the show.
