a Beautiful Night Scene.
There is more electricity turned
loose this year at the fair than here
tofore and the effect is striking and
handsome. Most of the buildings have
been strung with, lights and the carni-
val features are ablaze in the evening.
Last night most of the people who
had been on the grounds during the
day remained for the evening. and as
far as one could Judge the crowd was
as dense as at any hour of the day.
The free. attractions at the grand
stand attracted a great many, while
the shows, merry go rounds, Ferris
wheel and restaurants did a rushing
trade. A trip to the fair at night, IL
it cannot be done during the day, will
prove fruitful of fun and interest, as
the exhibits are open until the close
at ii p. m.
