near the steps each for his turn. but
by this time the crowd had begun to
yell "Coonie" so strong that the bridal
couple, fearing to tarry longer, made
a dash for the door, followed by the
well wishes of the crowd, and the
ushers vainly striving to keep the
crowd back fearing they would in
their enthuziasm demand the same IA
vors that the ushers had pre-empted.
The carriage was waiting and the
bridal party tumbled in and were
driven to the opera house, where a
reception was held and, congratula-
tions showered on the couple by the
members of the company. Tonight
they will occupy a box, and a public
reception will be held after each act.
Ralph Coon, of the Alexander grocery
department, played the roIe of BRIDE
groom while the bride was a member
of the show troupe.
Miss Woolcry Was Chosen.
At the close of the fair program
last evening the ballots cast for queen
of the mardi gras carnival were count
ed and the result showed that Miss
Audrey WOolery of lone had been Sc
lected for that honcr. She will be
known during the remainder of the
fair as Queen Audrey l, and all with
in the boundaries of the city will be
subject To her Will until l2 o'clock to-
night.
BY the selection of Miss Woolery as
queen another compliment was paid
to Umatllld's sister county, which has
shared generously in the honors of the
fair although the citizens of that
county were somewhat loath in par
in the fair.
Fair Financial Success.
While it is yet too early for the
fair commissioners to tell exactly how
they have Jared financially, 1t is now
known that there will be no deficit
and surplus is possible. This is
largely due to the fact that the at
tendance mas been unusually good, !
and so per cent greater than antici-
pated.
