gan this morning to break into the Phoe-
nix rising from the ashes class. Some OF
the effects Of the work of the 200 men who
labored all last night on the ruins Of yes
terday's fire we're revealed with the first
light of day. Blackened ruins had begun
to disappear and photograph and shoot
ing galleries, hot sausage booths and all
the buildings which made the Midway"
Of the park began to spring up.
William j. Thompson. proprietor Of the
place. has already let the contract for the
entire rebuilding Of the park. This work
will not be begun until the end OF the
present season. In the meantime he is pre-
pairing to take care of the crowds he ex-
poets to entertain there during the re-
mainder OF the summer.
The electric power plant escaped the
flames, as did the shoot-the-chutes and
the Carousel, but nearly everything e Sc
was destroyed.

MANY have been able to succeed
