ing the evening there will be brilliant dis

NIGHT BRINGS oTT A BIG CROWD.
Many City People spend the Evening
at the Exposftiou.

AS soon as the 25-cent rate went into
effect last night the city people commenced
to move toward the exposition grounds and
for couple OF hours there was something
OF Jam. The Grand Court, the Plaza and
the Midway presented a very animated ap-
pearance. Upon the Grand Court hundreds
Of people moved up and down the pave
ment or sat upon the benches drinking in
the beauties of the illumination and enjoy
ing the cool breeze waited over the water.
A fair sized crowd listened to the concert
by Godfreys band and apparently enjoyed
it, as the applause was rather liberal at
times. On the Midway everybody was busy
and all the concessions had about as much
business os they could handle.
Last nights spectacular Battle o, Manila
was reproduction OF that seen before, but
still ii drew a crowd. nearly all the re-
served seats being filed. The performance
did not commence until 10 o'clock and conse-
quently it was nearly midnight before the
rush for the gates commenced
