dolls, lamps and merchandise the swarm |
ing crowds, the wierd cries of the ven
ders OF chance or amusement and the
babble of thousands Of voices made up
the scene almost of the Far East In it's |
effect.
But IT was a real American crowd |
that laughed and jostled-threw confet- |
ii and ate peanuts and went home after |
a tirne-tired out but happy and determ- |
ined to be there" every night and |
unanimous in praise of both the Worlds |
Fair Shows and the Moose. The big |
Spring Festival will be huge success
