THE DONNY BROOK FAIR
DOUBLE SExETTE A PLEASING
 FEATURE LAST NIGHT.
Entertainment is . Big Success and Will Continue Until Saturday Night - Big Crowd
 Present.

l lHronES or ViSitOrS were dt tHe Auuito-
 rum last night. lending their presence
 to make the Donny Brook Fair success.
 And we'll did they succeed. for every one
 seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed the | entertainment that has been so perfectly planned.
 The Florodora sextette and the living | pictures" were the most attractive feature | of tho evening, and each number won | applause. The ''Florodoya' sextette was | the more distinctive feature. and the par ticipants were forced to yield to a half | dozen encores. Tell Me Pretty Maiden" captured the audience, it's rendition ri- | valing the original by the "Florodora" company.
 There were hundreds of other attrac- tions. however. The booths were liberally patronized. some furnishing amusement while others afforded ''cozy corners" The crowd was sufficient to i'll all the space, the scene actually reminding one of recent street fair pictures and the attractions were also reminders of the occasion of fun and freedom"
 The speeler got in his work on the Mystic Palace" the Vanishing Lady, etc., but in comparison he was mot in it. with the fascinating girls who enticed one to take "a chance" for center piece or some other freeze out game. A rather consoling moment came to one who desired to smoke--15 cents was the price, please. But everything was not in this comparison however. It was only the supposed" moneyed man who was caught in these schemes. The ''other fellow"
 could easily find the legitimate at the
 lunch counter where you got your moneys worth
 The living pictures were the features of the early part of the evenig. which drew the crowd and held wrapt atten- ton. The artist, Miss Mary Johnson, used
 her material-some of the most beaut- ful young matrons and girls and hand some young men-to such beautiful pur-
 pose as to produce marvellous effects.
 Each picture was greeted with hearty
 applause that was only silenced by repe-
 tition. The whole beggars description. and the beauty of each special picture would
 require columns to do 1t justice. The picture program of last evening was as follows:
 First. Dri and I-Misse Annie Rousseau and Miss Annie Lowe, MT. John Hard away.
 Drum.
 Third. Christmas Candlc-Mrs. Ben Well and Dr. Charles Pollard. Fourth. Spirit of Old Fashioned Roses Miss Margaret Lahey. ,,-, Fifth Prisclla-Mrs. Walter Fiske. Sixth. Dancing Girl-kliss Kathleen La
 Seventh. Duchess of Devonshlre-Mrs. Ben Well.
 renee FYske, Mir Arthur Jones, Masters Phares Coleman and Chandler Jackson. Ninth. The Goddess of Liberty-Mrs. Oliver Prince Bartlett.
 Miss Mary Kirkpatrick was the young woman of remarkable executive ability who had charge of this beautiful feature of the Fair.
 After the stage program was concluded and the departure of a part Of the crowd gs 1na in and enjoyed by about 300 of Mont gomery's young people.
 There are two more days of the Dom ny Brook Fair. The management has de- cided to extend it until Saturday night Ii has been received with such general appreciation as is beyond the most san gujne expectation of its promoters. The Baby Show which took place yes being awarded to Miss Marian Well, daughter of Mir and Mrs. Sidney Veil and to Master Bethune Mcdonald, ilttie son of MT. and Mrs. Frank Mcdonald. The little girls prize was silver cup and the boys box of candy A delightful attraction to the little foik is the Bubble Party. At Mrs. Kelly 8
 well pipes are furnished. Oh. the air bub-
 bles! We blow them all through life
 and they burst-but never are they so
 beautiful and chamelion-like as In early youth.
 Did Goldsmith ever dream of Alabama's
 
 of Wakefield he made a poor man Ind only goggles-green goggles-to carry
 home?
 The Florodora double sextette. in which six of Montgomerys belles and as many beaux have been trained equal to pro- fessionals," by Professor J. C. Weisner,
 followed the picture program It was
 perfect and was received with such en- thusiasm as to cause five demands TOT encors to be graciously responded to.
 The girls were bewitchinglY gowned in
 white beruffied gowns with black boas studded with red poppies. They wore
 black picture hats with graceful plumes and black gloves. Who will ever forget the dainty little
 nod that each gave as each time she made her exit? And then those fasci- hating beaux in Prince Albert suits. high
 hats and white boutonniere! Did ever we know that such Gibson men belonged 10 Montgomery?
 The lunch served for 50 cents gave evil dence of the lack of financial ability of
 women For it Is a dinner ht for the palate Of an epicure In daintiness and for a gourrnand in quantity. But it is all contributed by the hOusekeepers Of Montgomery for sweet charitys sake, and Montgomerians are profiting by 1t. Miss Frances Patteson, Miss Kate Birch, Miss Juliet Craik, Miss Bird Durham,
 Miss Louise Marks and Miss Rebecca Pollard and MT. Arthur Jones, MT. Wal ter Lodge. Mir. Jacob Faunce. MT. Henry Bartlett, Mir. Power and MT. William Williams.
 The picture sale over which Mrs. Rob ert Goldthwaite presides. Is a most at tractive place. Gems of art from abroad
 go for song. They are water colors and were imported from Berlin by Mrs. Joe Evans of Selma. who has spent much time abroad in the pursuit of her stud ies in art.
