All the night prior TO the fete day
the horde Of people. mostly peasants
from Moscow and the provinces,
streamed to the vast plain on which
Napoleon had massed his army before
marching into Moscow. by o'clock
in the morning they were packed about
the five hundred booths from which
Tree 1000, drink ana souvenir mugs
were 10 be distributed 10 one and all.
Barriers had been erected in front Of
each booth to prevent undue crowdlng.
There are various explanations as to
why the fete was turned into a day
of mourning. One Is that the crowd
was greater than anticipated, the crush

A FAMOUS CROWD OF THE PAST.
In the days before the French made
q colony Of Madagascar, the capital of
that island was the point Of assemblage
for a great crowd whenever the grand
kabary was held.
The last ruler to issue her commands

az this ceremonial was Queen Ranova-
Iona III. Swarmng around the dais on
which she sat with her chief council

To swell the crowd on these occasions
thousands Of natives travelled from all
parts Of the island and the capital

The grand kabary crowd was one Of
the most interesting that ever collected;
50 was the multitude that witnessed
the Durbar, while in this country the
crowds that took part IN the peace
celebrations I'm our large cities follow
ing the close Of the war with Spain will
be remembered for many years for
their size and patriotic enthusiasm.

the cities are jammed from house line
to house line from early morning till
late at night IN the mere transaction OF
the days work. A view Of one Of these
every day crowds going about fits bust
ness cannot fail to inspire one with a
feeling OF awe at thought OF the vast,
compact population which makes such
crowds common.
Northern midas real crowds collect
on the festival days. Then, In the
words of an English officer who has
grown weary trying to convey some
idea of the size of these crowds, they
are fundamentally enormous The
thousands of every day become tens of

AMERICAS RECORD CROWD.
One of the worlds record-breaking
crowds was that which assembled at
the Chicago worlds fair on Chicago
day, oct. ., 1899. II was the largest
crowd this country has ever known,
and this also holds true of Europe, at
least as far back as the records reach.
The crowd began forming long before
dawn, and by $3.50 O'Clock as many as
a thousand persons We're packed about
each of the gates to the grounds BY
four In the afternoon over 400 1000 had
passed through the gates, and those
who fiocked fairward after that hour
brought the attendance up to 100000,
round figures. In fact every Chcagoan
who could crowded into the great en-
closure to help along the celebration OF
his city's greatness.
Perhaps the two men OF this vast
crowd who attracted the greatest at
tention were Simon Pokaron and Chief
John Young. POttawatomie Indians.
Chief John Young, facing a sea Of up
turned palefaces, told how his father.
OF the same name. had given Chicago
its name, and with true aboriginal cam
dor he interpreted It to mean where
the skunk dwells." Simon Porkaron
stood by Chief John Young's side be-
cause he was born on that September
81 SO years before. when his father
decided to government agents the land
on which Chicago has been built.
