Honolulu Poured Herself Into
Circus Camp and Everybody
Had a Glorious Tine

Of autos parked in the space jus'
south Of the fair grounds Following
all this was the late afternoon train
that was not hacking In holding ur
lis end In the County Fair passenger
traffic And through it all not az
accident has been reported.
One feature Of the County Fair thai
deserves special mention is the fac
that there was plenty to eat and 81
prices that made one feel II shame
to pass q lunch counter without stop
ping and examining little more Wori
on the inner man.
Down the Midway one got just what
was expected in the way Of entertain
|ment, consequently there was nobody
stung, and IN many Of the booths
there we're chances to get your mo
ney back
During the evening there WIS q
vaudeville show. and a band playing
for those who desired to test the new
dance floor In addition were the
eaily lighted tents of the Midway and
the well.sfocked exhibit stores Of the
local merchants, making q scene al
most fairy-like torthose who elected
to remain during the evening.
Several OF the local merchants
made hits with the public BY offer
Ing free chances Of articles of real
value, such as q coffee percolator
Morris chair and watches. These

next year.
Them Wedding Bella.
One of the best features OF the sec
ond day of the County Fair was the
wedding ceremony which took place
at the circus.
Manager Shirer wanted to have
this affair q uniting of the Chamber
OF Commerce and the Merchants as
sociation, but he could not find the
membership, so he called on troop A
and as usual his men responded In
first class shape.
The ceremony had all the details
Of an up-to-date union, being accom-.
panied by the eugenic certificate and
the license of the Hoopla circus
county court
The men who took the parts were
|Sergt. Wunterlick, groom: Sergt
Dunlap, bride: Corporal Singleton,
preacher; Private Booth. groomsman;
Sergt. Ollie, brides father; Private
Clifford. bridesmaid All Of troop A.
The certificate and license follow:
-Schofield Barracks. H. T.. May s,
1918. This is to certify that have
made an examination OF Jerusha
Scran and Ebenezer Hunnicutt In &C.
cordance with the rules of eugenics
of the Smithsonian institute. There
Is no objection to the marriage, as
the lady is feeble-minded, and the
gent has no better sense.

wagon. The great stone struck
the back part of the vehicle, de-
molishing it, while tie driver
leaped for his life and escaped
injury.
