room on the first floor was badly dam.

saved. Mrs. Carroll and the children

.F|RENENS FESTIVAL OPENS
PARKER'S WHITE CITY PLEASES
A BIG CROWD.
A VERY AusPIcIoUs BEGINNING
The White City Presented Scene of
Beauty Last Night That Attracted
Large Audiences-Beautiful Bagdad
and Other Shows Well Patronized.
LFrom Tuesday's DailY.l

lf rom L ueSuuy > Ddllyi
The Norfolk firemen's midsummer
festival opened last night in a verita-
BILE blaze of illumination and grand
pyrotechnic display, and with the
greatest general satisfaction prevailing
among the people who thronged the
circus lot on Madison avenue and
South Second street.
To say that the large assemblage
of citizens present were merely salts.
fed with Parker's White City would
be tame and utterly inadequate to ex.
press the pleasures experienced by the
enthusiastic audiences which taxed
the seating capacity at every attrac.
tion. The expectations of visitors
which had already been pitched on a
high plane, were so far exceeded by
the actual experience gained in every
resort visited that the sense of criti-
cism was superseded by the unani.
nous desire to praise and comment.
Nor was this praise and commenda.
tion extended discriminatory at the ex.
