is a constant succession OF surprises,
and sea-sickness is more to be dreaded
than falling of. Fortunately the trips
are short, owing to the crowd and the
lack of available territory, but It's great
sport lust the same, and productive OF
much giggling and screaming on the
part of the ladies. Riding a donkey
is tame amusement, comparatively
speaking.
While all the shows are m~erltorlous,
and well worth seeing, Hagenbackss
trained animals are undoubtedly the
most popular. The lions, tigers, ETC.,
are fine specimens, and the perfol nance
is worth much more than the nominal
charge made. In fact, it is a wnole
show in itself. Monday night one OF
the lions got a bit contrary, n 1t
took several shots from a revolver
loaded with blank cartridges to bring
the brute to his senses.
The trained animal show, adjoining
Hagenbacks on the south, is also OF
much interest. The tricks of the per-

The German Village was strictly in
it last evening, and did an enormous
business. This resort is a most plea
SAINT one for rest, refreshments, a quiet
smoke and discussion with friends, and
is becoming more and more popular
with both ladies and gentlemen. There
is a continuous performance or merit.
The Japanese show, the living Pic
lures and all the rest were well pat
ronized last evening. a particular
point of interest is the Indian village,
where the exhibition given by Lo, n
poor Indian, are decidedly popular.

THE BUSINESS DISPLAYS.
THE HOME OF MUSIC
At the Fair is at the Booth of Mliiyan
Wi!kin & Co.

AT the Fair is at the Booth of Miliiyan
Wi.kin & Co.
The lover of music finds no more
attractive spot at the Elks' Fair tina
the booth of Milligan, Wilkin & Co.,
which is one of the most tasteful in de-
sign and decoration on the grounds.
The walls are papered to give a parlor
ehect, and the color combination is
very artistic and pleasing. Members OF
the firm are in charge and Prof. Eu-
rope demonstrates the tone and quail
lty OF the pianos which are displayed.
Certainly no finer line Of pianos has
ever been exhibited in this city. There
is a Knabe upright, in a burrel wal
nut case, which closely approaches
perfection in piano manufacture. Then
there>is a Stultz and Bauer grand in a
Circassian walnut case, an instrument
which enjoys a degree of popularity
rarely attained by any piano, and ex-
celled by none. A Capon, in a mahog-
any case, is an instrument which is
pleasing to the Eye, and satisfactory to
the critical musical ear. There are
several other instruments on exhibit
ton, but the popularity of those which
have been mentioned is readily under
stood after they are examined.

baby carriage and a dozen photographs.
was awarded to Evelyn Marie
Brady, of Bellaire, aged seven
months, and the second prize, a
necklace, to Garth Grayson Connolly,

the supervision and charge of Mr.. C. r.

a ~4arriage will be celebrated upon the
same platform.
The attendance of the afternoon was
very satisfactory, despite the very hot
sun, and all the entertainments were
well patronized. 1t is apparent, how
ever, that the big turnouts will be in
the evenings, when it is much more
pleasant, and when the countless cleo
trio lights make the spectacle more at
tractive.
During the latter part of the after
noon the entire enclosure was sprinkled
and rolled, all paper and other accum-
ulations of rubbish were removed, and

day, but the real rush from out of town
IS not expected until tomorrow. al
though to-day will undoubtedly show
an increase over yesterday.
All during the day and evening the

usual admiration of the decorations. to
which some additions have been made
since Monday.

admirable way to demonstrate the me-
dicinal value of the water from his
magnesia springs at Woodsdale. II ID
