ANOTHER SUCCESS.
Second Evening Of the Odd Fellows
Fair Passes Off Pleasantly.
Photograph Exhibit Will Be Judged. TODAY
Programme for Thursday and FRIDAY

Still another evening of the Odd Eel.
lows fair. has passed with success anf
there are but two more evenings te
follow. There was not the lam.
Wednesday evening, that was so con.
spicious on the first evening. The hall
was comfortably filled and those who
were present felt thankful that nc
more We're there, for on the first night
SO many We're present, that it was op-
pressively crowded. Those who had
the books in quest of votes for one
thing and another We're also glad that
there were no more present. On the
first night there was such jam that
it was difficult to make their way
about to solicit votes.
The refreshment tables did better
business and the fish pond which had
some special inducements, coined
money. There was a guessing con-
test, the prize being a Morris chair.
The person is asked to guess the num-
Der of seeds in a large sunflower. The
one guessing the nearest will own the
chair after the fair is over. There
are three geese in a pen and the per-
son who guesses the nearest to the
combined weight of the three, will be
given pretty French clock. At the
fancy tables they did good business.
Dancing on the nice floor of the ban
quet hall was continued, Wednesday
evening.
The interest in the photograph ex-
hibit does not seem to abate in the
least and some pronounce it the fea-
ture of the fair. There are many who
say they have visited many fairs, but
never saw a better exhibit of this sort
for small city than Mr.. Vickery has
got together. Now that he sees what
a success it is, he regrets he did not
endeavor to have more enter, and thus
make it better than it is. He merely
sent circular to all the amateurs
whom he knew and those who came
| into the exhibit came of their own free
will. Others have since said that they
would have entered had they known
| that there was to be SO genera al
| entry.
The exhibit had two new entrees
Wednesday. Guy O. Vickery entered
| a set of a dozen or more nice pictures
and w. A. Lombard Of Boston, sent
some excellent views.
The Cuban war views stu attrac' a.
tention. There are many OF these pc
