 Following the attractions at the Air dome, in the afternoon, the crowd of Oatman people, and guests from the surrounding towns, spent an hour vis- iting and strolling about the streets.
 Quite effectively, Misses Ruth Long and Fox, piled their business of sell ing sandwiches and cold drinks; the proceeds of their days work, were to go to the fire sufferers. . At 6:30 P. M., the crowd was treat ed to a fine band concert, good old tunes, jazz a-plenty, ending with a beautiful orchestration, Carrie Jacob Bonds "A Perfect Day."
 Oatman fed her guests and home folks, with the efficiency for which she is noted, which was greatly ap- preciated, considering her depleted number of eating places, due to the fire.
 . A we'll ordered throng of happy people, assembled at 7:30, in the spacious Airdome, put up since the disaster of a week ago, with cement floor, large seating capacity, fine large stage, drops, dressing rooms, in fact, everything essential to the stag ing of the splendid play Captain Racket. Its earlier production, by Oatman's professional players, added zest to the anticipation of the even- ing's enjoyment. Music by the Need- les band, preceded the play. The speciality numbers, by the Moose Quartette, were encored time and again. Mir. Chas. Pugh's solo work was little short of big time. The three act play, produced under the fine direction of MT. O. B. Nair showed he was not new at the game, and his lead in the chorus work-Oh Boy, he was some Hottentot. The chorus was we'll picked for their good dancing, we'll trained, and graciously responded to repeated encores. Petite Yolande Nair, as leading lady, capti- vated her audience at once, with her winning personality. Zelma Eastman, as Mrs. Holman, handled her part with real skill. Chas. F. Pugh, as Captain Racket, will be remembered for his strong portrayal of the character. Wild applause greeted every appear ance of Clarice and her bathing girls, the crowd, loath to let them go, called them back time and again, their up- to-the-minute songs and dancing, puns on the crowd, and jokes, altogether, were we'll worth the price of the show.
 When the curtain fell, on the grand finale, everyone voiced the heart feeling, that the putting on, and car rying through the whole affair, handi- capped by neary everything, was feat to be proud of. An immense throng, assembled at 9 o'clock, in the spacious Desert Inn Hall, for the Grand Ball. To the strains of fine music by the Oatman Orchestra, the remainder of the even- ing was spent in dancing. We'll ordered, effectively carried out to the smallest detail, under stagger- ing odds, Oatman gave her guests wonderful day of sports, and other entertainment.
 Following is toast to Oatman of- fered by one of the ladies of King man:
 Oatman you sure are all right,
 You gave us your show, Even a good fight.
 May the year bring you luck'
 A reward for your pluck,
 For you all the sunshine,
 With little of rain;
 And when the year has rolled round,
 We are coming again.
