The baby show conducted by the fed
} Grated clubs of the city Thursday af-
ternoon at Cummings hall for the
benefit of the public Fairgrounds fund
was a great success in every sense
Hundreds of mothers with their babies
, besieged the doors OF the hall at an
early hour and shortly after 2:3C
. o'clock, the hour set for the opening OF
the show, 1t was announced that all the
babies that could be accommodated ir
| the hall had entered and more than
100 were turned away.
This step was taken to safeguard
those who had gained admittance, Mr.
Cummings fearing that a greater CROWD
would be hazardous risk both to the
building and to the safety of those in
side.
Two Hundred Babies Entered.
: 1t was estimated that in the neigh
borhood Of 700 mothers, their babies
and their friends were in the hall wner
the doors were closed. When the two
hundredth child was tagged for entry
, the contest was declared closed. While
: many were disappointed in not being
able to get within the building, the clui
r ladies were in no way to blame as the
, precaution taken in closing the doors
was not only necessary for the comfor.
OF those inside but also for their alb
solute safety
