The Archery Gallery was a source of
much amusement. The target was large,
and only twenty feet off, and a nickel
bought three arrows, which, if all three
were put within the outer circle, brought
prize. That our people need practice in
this old sport is shown by the fact that
while this booth was supplied with one
hundred and fifty prizes, only five were
won during the day out of l32 trials. Mr..
Mobley, the painter. is an old hand, and
took off two prizes, and Major Taylor has
doubtless shot arrows before, as he made
the only bulls eye and captured the chief
prize.
The gypsy fortune teller, Mrs w. ii.
Mcfarland, was embowered next the
archery. To show the people that she
could really tell their future, she, with
the assistance of Mr.. Mcfarland, pro-
ceeded to read their minds, telling while
! blindfolded and without an instant's hes
itation, the numbers on their watches,
the dates on coins in their pockets, and
describing any article they might point
out, although hidden from her. The
demonstration was convincing to the au-
dience, who crowded around her tent I'M
| til they had all learned their fate, and
incidentally parted with a dime each for
the benefit of the Street Fair.
At the Mexican tent, presided over by
Mrs. Collins, there was an excellent menu
of Mexican dishes-chile con carne, hot
tamales, enchiladas, pescadO con chile,
ets., soon made the mouths water
of those who had been initiated, and their
enthusiasm brought to the table large
body of nOvices whose remarks after
swallowing a mouthful of chile were
highly entertaining.

praise the excellent cream served. The
Fish Pond and Grab Bag tents were well
patronized, and altogether the Midway
was the life of the day. The fair was run
on concession from the general COM
mittee To the Eastern Star at one fourth
gross receipts. The general committee
received twentv-three dollars on the con-
cession, and the Eastern Star will have a

The primary booth in the Midway was
quite a success. Unofficial ballots were
sold at cents each, and a purchaser
could buy any number of votes he wanted
to. The amount realized was $3.50, and
the result for candidates was as follows:
