A Gala NIGHT.

With improver weather condi-
tons, the third night of the
street fair was truly a big sue
cess 1t was a gala night. Ev-
erywhere there was animation
and music. Twinkling like
luminous stars, hundreds of in
candesent lights cast their re-
Election on the happy throng
that crowded the streets and
seemingly, with understanding
eyes put a stamp Of approval
upon the brilliant spectacle
presented. To say that the
event comes up to our expecta-
tons is putting it mildly. From
the time the band struck the
first note until closing time there
was not a dull moment. The
Great Parker Shows are all that
they are reputed to be. Every
attraction speaks for itself with
its magnificent front, and up-to-
the-minute show. All shows
are clean, new, novel and varied.
The rides are the biggest and
best ever brouht to this city.
The whip is a sensation. The
excellent order that prevailed
in the throng that crowded the
streets was also a characteristic
of the various shows. Rabble
is an unknown word with the
Great Parker Shows, a condition
fully appreciated by the orderly
crowd. The Trades Assembly
is grateful to all who have help
ed to make the fair a success.
Favorable weather is all that is
needed to make this week go
down in the annals of Lexing-
toms show history, as a banner
week, as The Great Parker
Shows have no superior for
merit or refinement. Visit them
tonight. Adv.
