THOUSANDSDID

THE LAST DAY
WAS MUCH MORE IA
VoRABLE YESTERDAY AND
STREETS WERE CROWDED UN-
TIL A LATE HOUR AT NIGHT
CROWDS WERE EXCEPTIONAL
LY WELL BEHAVED.

Although yesterday was not a fail
day, by any means. the weather was
so much more favorable than it haf
been for several days previous thai
thousands of people took advantage
of the last day in which they could
do their Christmas shopping, and, as
a result, the merchants did fine
business during the day and until a
late hour last night.
The streets and stores were literal
~ crowded all during the day and
many people were on the streets until
IL o'clock and it is probable that more
trading was done yesterday than al
during the rest of the week.
In spite of the large crowd on the
streets all day everything was order
~ and the crowds were exceptionally
well behaved. No serious trouble was
reported anywhere in the city UP to
IL o'clock last night.
