AN ATTRACTIVE SCENE.
KIRMESS A GREAT SUCCESS
LAST NIGHT.
It Will Open It's Doors to the Pub
lie Again To-Morrow
Night.

The clouds rolled by yesterday and
| old Sol came out and showed his shin
ing face. and all nature glowed re-
sponsive
He had heard the Kirrness was on at
the Pavilion and although he had
plenty of golden rays he peeped IN at
the window without paying, as the ad-
mission was only in silver. He saw an
attractive sight, too, for Mother Goose
and her family were there and there
were many youngsters who had come
to pay matinee visit to them.
But after old Sol had passed on his
journey across the ocean Queen Luna
came to take a peep, and she saw many
visitors going to the Pavilion Inside
was picture of beauty and grace The
brilliantly lighted booths, with their
gay colors and their attendants made a
sight worth gazingfon more than once,
and so thought the assembly.
It was a successful night, nearly a
thousand people coming to see and to
enjoy themselves and drop their dimes
into the treasury. And they did it with
hearty good will, for there was no COM
pulsion. The booths were we'll fur
nished when the evening began with
such an assortment that a person would
be hard to suit who could not find
something he wanted, and at a reason
able price, too. AS the evening waned,
they were pretty we'll depleted.
The musical program was not an ex-
tended one, but it was excellent. Mrs.
.. A. Wilhelm sang a German song,
Youths Dream" with fine effect, and
Mrs. ]. A. Moynihan rendered the
Swiss Echo Song" most effectively,
and the Stars -Spangled Banner" was
sung, Miss Pearl Jackson and Mrs.
Phinney singing it as a solo, in turn,
While the chorus was composed of Miss
Geery and Messrs. Coffman, Owens,
Brown, Arnold and Keller.
The minuet was again the center of
attraction, the rich and handsome cos
tunes and the stately grace of the per-
formers eliciting much commendation.
They had been carefully trained by
Professor George w. Watson, who took
much pains with them and they We're
perfect in their respective parts. Those
taking part We're the Misses Weinstock
and Misses Edith Lynn, Nellie Allen
Blanche Twitchen and Minnie Elmer
and Messrs. Halsey L. Smith, Fred
Moore, Ralph Van Voorhies, Rene
Cuvellier, Dick Dierssen, Jr., and Chas
King.
The shows were all excellent and peo-
pie felt they had the worth of their
money. The marionettes were extremely
comical and elected much laughter
The Edison humanagraph was exten-
s1vely patronized and the black art
show had standing room only, while the
maidens and youths came in smiles
from the fortune teller's tent.
1t had been intended to have the Kir-
mess only Friday and Saturday, but it
has been so successful that the man
agement has determined to have it to-
morrow night also. The minuet will be
danced. Signor Rudolph Van Nordini
the only living superior to the great
Hermann, will give his basket trick and
decapitation act. The marionettes will
give positively their last appearance be-
fore starting on their tour of the world
and last, but not least, by a great deal,
the handsome young ladies will be at
their places in the booths ready to dis
pense their smiles and wares to all
