crying "Hold on there. hold on!' but the
young fellow wriggled through the
crowd, and the man struck out with his
fist and laid an innocent bystander on
the pavement. This incident was
scarcely over when young man struck
a woman to the grourd for knocking bis
hat from his head. She stood near the
viaduct arc every time man came
along che would make swipe at his

rolled on the ground under the feet OF

Joy arose from those who had fallen VIC
tins to her drunken madness. In one
of the paviions early in the evening the
people took every beer glass. and before
police protection could be had they stole
over 500 glasses. One man was seen
going down the Midway with beer

overcoat was a big tray.
In a prominent pavilion a young man
got too obstreperous AMI policeman
took him in charge. He resisted and ten
blue coats ran 10 the scene with clubs
drawn. There was wild confusion ard
then the young man was hustled out
and taken to the guard house with a
confusion over his head that will not
soon disappear.
And it was thus the great show came
to close.
1t was nightmare. To many it has
brought failure and disaster OF the
worst sort. There are few people on
the Midway that are not bankrupt,
those who are not had unlimited cash

seven shows said he lost m )re than he
