FROM Fridays Daily
With the best weather of the week,
the third day of Mitchell's initial style
show gave indications this afternoon
of keeping apace with the record set
on Wednesday and Thursday. The
CHEEKY sunshine brought out humid
reds of people today to view the
street parade at ? o'clock and the
spread OF booths in the city hall au-
ditorium.
The success of the show is assured
from the more than enthusiastic re-
caption which has been given thus
far. Every day the streets, have been
lined with people Witnessing the pa
rade, the auditorium has been pack
ed to Overlooking, and the stores of
the city have been crowded with pat
rons for spring business.
NMonstcr Crowd Thursday.
Yesterday probably set a record for
attendance at the city hall auditorium
when the b.lby show, advertised as the
feature of The week, packed it to its
utmost capacity. The first floor was
crowded with hundreds OF people
standing, while every available inch
Of space in the galleries was filled. 1t
is estimated that fully as many people
were turned away as gained admit
lance.
At 2 o'clock the police were called
to the city hall and refused admit
lance to all people except those hay
ing children to enter in the show.
The sidewalk in front held a line of
spectators who desired to gain adj
mittance. 1T was a typical Corn Palace
crowd with an attraction of worlds
fan calibre.
Plenty Of Babies.
Over 200 babies would have been
entered in the show had there been
room in which to admit their moth
ers. AS it was, 1872 infants entered
the competition in the four divisions.
Ard as each class in each of the four
divisions was presented with theil
prizes, they were brought to the
platform TO be the center OF attraction
for the admiring throng.
Geo. A. Silsby announced the priz-
es. as, the. babies OF each division We're
brought to the platform The judges
consisting or twelve Representative
men and women of Mitchell, MOI
members OF the Eastern Star, viewed
the babies in the offices OF the city
hall, and sent in their findings. Tlt
size of~the crowd caused confusion
and in one or two cases, some child
rem were given two prizes, through
la mistake in their division. But the
women of the Eastern Star, who hat
labored hard and long to make tn,
affair a success, handled tho SHOW
