Times Newsboy Band the
Attraction of the
Evening.
SWEET MUSIC DISC0URSED
Everything Arranged for Guests Hav-
ing Good Time Each Night for a
Week-Plenty Of Good Things to Eat.

The opening of the Georgetown lawn
fete, which was postponed from Monday
night until last night, on account Of
the inclemency of the weather, was a
most auspicious one, and in every way
a success. The large and spacious
lawn was crowded with several hun
dred pleasure seekers, and the booths
were all literally patronized. The null
ticolored booths, the gay dresses of the
young ladies, and the number of cleo
trio lights all made up beautiful pic
ture. The thick yerdant grass served as
carpet for the large crowd to walk
upon, and the stars furnished light
where the electric lights did not.
The garden party is being held on
the Georgetown College campus, and
will continue until the end OF the week.
The entire proceeds OF the fete will be
used for the benefit of the new Trinity
parish hall and school house, which will
be erected in the near future. Mr..
John Hadley Doyle, manager of the af-
fair, deserves great crdit for his work,
as the opening nights demonstration was
far better than was expected. There
are seven large booths that will please
both old and young. The f-ncy booths
called for attention from the feminine
portion of the gathering, and many
were the comments about the elaborate
embroidery c-signs displayed on the va
riaus tables.
Literally Patronized.
The supper table was literally pat
ronized last night. This booth. which is
admirably taken care of by Mrs J. B.
Hyde, Misses Belle Taggart, Eta Tag

eral ice cream stands, at which there is

the moving picture tent. In this tent

pictures. among them being President
Mckinley making his last speech at
Buffalo, President Roosevelt and Prince
Henry at the launching of the Meteor

Times Newsboys Band.
The Times Newsboys Band was the
principal attraction, however, and great
crowds swarmed around the band stand
to hear the youthful musicians play
the national airs and uD-to-date catchy
ditties. The youngsters played for quite
while after the opening. and later
were turned loose on the large lawn
They were treated to refreshments by
the ladies in charge of the ice cream
booths, and enjoyed themselves by visit
ing the various booths and riding on the
carrousel and the flying swings After
having a short rest they returned TO
the stand and played until the lights
went out for the night. Everyone ap-
plauded them for their playing.
