Big CROWDS
Found Fun Galore at the Street Fair
This Week.
Amusements That Delight Both the
Young and old Positively Moth
ing Objectionable.

Have you been TO the Street Fair? II
you have, you can at least say that you
have had one evening of solid fun and
wholesome amusement; if you haven't
well, just take the word of those who
have been that you are missing a good
thing, and go. Go and take all your
family with you, There is something
that will interest everyone. Nothing
that is in the least Objectionable to
anyone.
There was a crowd at the Fair last
night-a big crowd, and happy one.
Everybody was out for fun, and every
body founo it. Each show had its
quota of interested spectators; the "Fer.
riss wheel turned over and over with
its happy cargots of human freight; the
awkward, lazy-looking camels trotted
untiringly with their laughing riders,
and the air was filled with showers OF
confetti"
Spit it outr' Ifyou get mouthful
of confetti, spit it out; that is the proper
thing to do: then, get revenge by stuff
ing somebody else's mouth full; that S
the way they do on the Midway. But
mind while you are enjoying the dis
comfiture of your victim, that you don't
laugh with your mouth, or else you'll
get another dose. Everybody throws
confetti!' is the cry of the speier on the
Midway; land nobody but old maids
and school teachers get mad. " In Colum
bia nobody gets mad; the all seem tc
enjoy it, and throwing confetti is one Of
the principal amusements of the Street
Fair. Tonight and Saturday night viii
be special confetti nights. and there
promises to be battles royal. Confetti
is simply small particles of clean coloreC
paper, and this will be the "ammuni
milton" to be used by the participants
If you expect to take part in the battle
get your pockets we'll "loaded" and bC
prepared to fire. at any moment.
There is much in the Fair to deligh
and amuse and nothing that could bt
counted Objectionable. 1t is simply al
aggregation of innocent attractions, tina
please the young, the middle aged, an(
the old.
The music by the Gray & Dude,
band, which is employed by the Car
nival Company, is one of the enjoyable
features of the Fair.
Among the various amusements is tn,
Feriri animal show, which is an excel
lent collection of trained animals, an(
some exciting exhibitions are given by
them. Then there are the Streets O
Cairo, conducted by De Krebo Bros.
this is really an educational show, ex
planning as it does many of the Gus
toms of the orientals. A trip on tn
Ferris Wheel" cannot fail to thrill
and if you want something really ex
citing, go into the Midway" and talk
ride of the dromedary-but mind tina
you do not get "sea- sick" There arr
many other places of fun and interest
but if you want to know it all, a tri
to the Fair will be necessary.
