 Are Becoming More Apparent
 Some Confetti Was used'

The crowd. attracted to Montgom. ery's business district by the twlh Street Fairs were more unruiy yester 5day afternoon and night than hereto- fore this week and after nightlaal tnsIe was almost pandemontum oI olsosoea on Dexter Avenue ana ootnine,se Street. .s
 confetti. were used by youngsters ana others to annoy more sober peopie anu there were more drunken men on the streets than usual. The police were kept busy in an effort to preserve some semblance of order.
 Monte ,mery's population last night could not confine itself to one district of ,he business ortion of the city The masses of people spread out Tn all di- rections where there was any form or amusement and this produced fucra- tive business for both the Robinson and the Cosmopolitan Amusement Compa- nies. A
 The din on the streets last night vas deafening. The motley throngs on both sides of Dexter Avenue reminded one of the olden days when Montgom- cry had its first Street Fair. There was only one thing lacking and 1t was the indiscriminate throwing of con- fetti. Strings of young and old women and children, too. forced their way through lines of men, using whips. fam tastic< clusters. chin-ticklers and many other tantalizing devices. The crowds. in their caprices, were good natured for the most part. but occasionally there was trend toward rough1ess and the prompt interference of the police was necessary to prevent disturbances. A patrolman, who was kept busy for long timo in watch ing the merriment and boisterousness and disorder, said that he had been harrassed since dusk.
 They don't do enough for me to arr rest them." he said. "and all can do is to mix up, scatter tho crowd and tell them to clear out and go along"
 A stranger expressed amazement that such scenes would be tolerated in a city as large as Montgomery,
 A neat free act on Dexter avenue which is looked on with more than ordinary interest is the diving of a dog from a high ladder into net This act is put on in front of the tent where there is a dog and monkey show and it is an index of the show of we'll trained animals on the inside.
 The balloon ascension of Mrs. Mur- phy," the monkey aeronaut, brought hundreds of people to the vacant lot on Dexter avenue where the monkey daily makes here ascension and re- turns to terra firma in g. parachute. Those who did not go to the vacant lot to see the ascension. saw Mrs. Murphy" in the air and watched. her movements until she a1ighted in her parachute on the roof of a building near the place of ascension.
 Since Dan Robinson started the op- eration of his electric fountains cor ner of Bibb and Commerce streets, he has had that show packed at almost every performance. This amusement is attractive and novel. The poses, which precede the electrical effects, are about as pretty as anything ever seen here in this line.
 The Katzenjammer Castles of both street fairs, with their labyrinfhian walks, were we'll patronized during the first part of the week, but like all things of that nature, the populace has become enlightened by hearsay as Co what is in store for them in the castles and they are now waning in their desires to pay admission to dark place where they stumble over things and feel joyful to come out with an unscarred body.
 Today will be the last day of both carnivals. The Ladies Memorial As- sociation and the Red Men aud Beav- CTS are going to do everything in their power to make 1t the banner day of the week.
