The, park was brilliantly Illuminated
with Chinese lanterns suspended on,
wires from tree to tree, while the park
fence had double row of lighted cam
dies, making magnificent scene of
beauty. The ladies, with bewitching
smiles, served ice cream, cake, lemon
ade, etc., and the sum realized from all
sources was about STA, netting about

counted it was found that Sarah Esther
Dick, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Samuel
X. Dick, had received the largest num-
Der of votes, and Miss Laura York the
next. During the evening, Mr.. d. F.
McClatchey, Jr., manager of the Bell
telephone exchange here, had a wire
run into the center of the park, where
the Fitzsimmons-Jeffrie fight was bull
letined Music was furnished by Mes
srs. BERTHE Freyer and Fields, and the
evening passed off pleasantly to all.
A little girl alone attended the fire.
mems festival in the park Friday night.
She seated herself at one of the tables
and called for ice cream, cake, etc., and
when she had finished her repast, as
she was about leaving, one of the la
dies asked her for the pay. In aston
ishment she replied: II haven't any
money. They told meat the gate that
1 could get anything wanted free. "
AS she had no money, of course that
ended the matter, but the innocence Of
the little girl was pay enough.
