Parker shows Drew a Large Crowd
last Night.

The Parker shows or pike at the cor
ner of Third and Jackson streets, has
become a popular resort for the young
and old of the city alike. There were
$500 paid admissions last night at the
big gate. About the most serious com
plant that was heard last night was
that the enclosure is too small for the
crowd which gathered at an early hour
and remained until nearly midnight.
The eongested condition was probably
caused by the delegates paying their
farewell visit to the shows before TAX
ing their departure for their homes.
Last nights crowd consisted of young,
old and Indifferent but all entered into
the spirit Of the affair and made the
evening one of pleasure for all concern
ed, the attendance being estimated at
5000 by those who are competent to
guess. The aggregation is remarkably
free from Objectionable features of all
descriptions, and no gambling devices
Of any kind are tolerated on the grounds
while the exhibitions are clean and
wholesome.
The features which are being starred
this season by the Parker shows are
the animal tent and the "Sunhower
Bellies" the latter viii take the place
of the Roman Coliseum, Hfppodrome
and Beautiful Bagdad, featured with
the other Parker companies the past
seasons. The attraction is comic
opera and extravaganza, staged and
costumed in metropolitan style and put

IT'S NO IDLE PIPE DREAM

BY THOMAS S. RICE.

The little brides are real and so is
the blond queen riding down the ave
nue.. gentle reader. 1t Is not all pipe
dream. although il is hard 70 believe
otherwise after hearing that Washing
ton beat Chicago yesterday by l 20 @.
making three out of the four games
victories for the Nationals.
II any one had predicted that this
would be the case he would have been
accused of trying TO bulge into print by
the backdoor route. like the Philadel-
phia two-spot who announced the other
day that George Washington was a
four-fush and never accomplished any
thing worth while His statements
would have received about as much
credence from people with human intel
Agence as those Of the man who claims
that he really wants TO go TO the pen TO
do his little four-aud-a-half years
stretch for swindling the public.
Net On the Job.
But baseball is a game in which you
have good grounds for predicting al
most anything, and il you fan down
show where your dope was right but
that the luck was against you.

didn't get the runs. In fact, twice yes
