It's far more on the order of great
county fair than anything else I have

the sun and moon and stars will be for

Yesterday heard lot about the
vaudeville. Mrs John b. Thayer will be
in charge, and it certainly will be a Won
der. In the first place inside of the
vaudeville tent will be Kenilworth, the
great astrologist in a tent Of his own,
and Baron Scotsford will cut silhouettes
in another tent The silhouettes on
the top of the page today will give YOU
an idea of his talent, for to me the like

charming monologst from New York,

times in the vaudeville; and they are to

promised to accompany the various

panied by Monsieur Deering; Candace
