that opened early reaped' a rich harvest.
while at the same time they dispensed
to every one his moneys worth. The
Cake Walkers" at Third and Broad
Streets, and Crystal Maze at Sixth
Stree ran wild Minnie" close for at
tendance. In fact, the Cake Walkers
beat wild Minnie for long before the
regular hour for closing the doors We're
shut, and it was at once determined to
enlarge the booth to-day to double the
present capacity. The other shows did
a good business, and when everything
gets 10 running in proper shape to-day
there will be no room for complaint from
any one.
