cepting even the opening night.
Company B reached the hall about 10
O'Clock, and Mayor Myers and the alder
men little later. After they had been
served with an excellent supper they Wis
tied the booths, which they patronized
literally, having come prepared to help
the bazaar financially, and being given
every opportunity of carrying out their
intentions. The general crowd gave up
literally also, so that the total receipts

tributed and each of the booths got its
fair share.
