The crowd that went out TO the Mid

Park road northwest. last night was de-
clared the biggest thing that ever hap
pened In Mount Pleasant. Old residents
of the section declared at the close OF
the evening that at no time during their
residence there had they ever seen such
gathering.
The announcement had been made that
the doors would not be opened until 8
O'clock but an hour before that time the
streets in front of the building became a
mass of humanity and the management
ordered the doors be opened. Then the
crowd surged through. The ticket takers
had all they could do to snatch the paste
boards as the eager pleasure seekers
crowded in. At 10 o'clock 1t was esti-
mated that 1900 to 1900 people had
visited the place. The receipts, which
were given to the Fairgrounds Associa-
ton, were estimated this morning to be
In the neighborhood Of 5000. Nearly
$1,000 was taken in at the gate. and the
Fairgrounds Association had put out 90
COO tickets.
All Departments Crowded.
The dancing halls. the midway, the hui
man roulette wheel, the soup bowl, the
crystal maze. the cyclone cellar, the NOV
ing picture theater and the bowling al
leys all were crowded. Two bands fur
nished music. Busy folk Interested in
the work Of the Fairgrounds were out
in full force. and James E. West. secre-
tary of the Fairgrounds committee, was
about the busiest of them all.
1t was expected that President Taft
would attend. but he found he was I'M

Golden and Hughes. the well-known
team of black-face comedians, were
more than satisfactory as headliners.

European gymnastic and novel comic
ladder act, which was a pleasant diver
sion of difficult feats and funny stunts.
at Ought to Be-" d farce comedy,
played by Dean and Sibley, proved to
be one of the big hits of the bill. Rich
ards and Thatcher offered a high-class
pianologue intermingled with catchy
songs. Brown and Brown, Just Kids
are very clever comedians. William
Huegel pleased with his illustrated
songs.

Master Gabriel, whose portrayal OF

name, earned for him a national repu-
tation as a youthful comedian, is the
leading attraction at Proctor's this

by Mutt, His Dog" played by Edwin
Lamar, who will be remembered as
providing amusement in other produc-
tons in the guise of various animals.
These two make life miserable for
an aunt and her devoted admirer. a
count of ervou temperament. The
efforts of the boy and the dog result
in cutting short the visit of the aunt
and the count, and in accomplishing
this end Master Gabriel demonstrates
conclusively that he Is gifted with more
than an ability to repeat lines. He
is a natural comedian. and although

SWAY7E
PICKED FOR SEAT
On HIGHEST BENCH
Will Be Named for U. S. Supreme
Court-Huglles Chief
y Justice.

WASHINGTON, Noy. 29.-In less
than two weeks-on the second Mon
day of the coming session of Congress
President Taft win send to the sen-
ate the names of three men who viii
constitute one-third Of the bench of
the Supreme Court of the United
States. The three men are now select
ed, and callers at the White Hous re-
ceive a definite impression that Justice
Hughes, formerly governor of New
York, will be advanced to the chief
Justiceship; that Francis j. Swayze. OF
the Supreme Court of New Jersey, will
succeed Justice Moody, who has re-
signed, and that Secretary of Com
nlerce ana Labor Nagel will take The
place now held by Justice Hughes.
All these vacancies, with the excep-
lion of that to be caused by the pro-
motion of Justice Hughes, have existed
for some time, and the President has
given the greatest care to selecting the
men who are to fill them. MI. Taft's
long legal and judicial experience has
given him a wide knowledge of mon
who might be considered. Expressions
by Mr.. Taft have indicated clearly that
NC COiioluCTSd lAe proper SclecLlO1 Ol
justices of the Supreme Court one of
the most important of the duties of the
presidential Office. 1t is no slur on the
men he has at last selected to say that
many others have been considered and
that to some-a very few-the positions
have been offered and declined.
The ultimate choice of Mr.. Hughes
for the chief justiceship has been re-
garded as inevitable for a long time.
though until today there have been
conflicting reports. The New York
governors acceptance of the post of
associate justice caused some surprise
to those who had come TO consider him
the most powerful presidential candi-
date in sight, but on second thought 1t
was believed that ever at that early
date it had been limited to hin that as
soon as the chief justiceship became
vacant he would be advanced to fill it.
Francis Joseph Swayze is still a
young man. He was born in Newton
only f~orty-nine years age. He received
the degrees of A. 3. and A. NJ. from
Harvard, and studied law at the Har-
ward Law School. He was admitted to
The bar In 1882 and practised law in his
native town until 1892. Then he moved
to Newark and continued his growing
practise here for eight years. He then
became judge of the Circuit Court and
continued in that post for three years,
until his advancement to the Supreme
bench OF this State.

his exhibition of eccentric roller skat-
ing, and Charles o. Rice and Fannie
