when the Exchange Clubs b {
entertainment was staged Tues
day night.
The crowd that came to towr
was tremendously big one
Estimates ran all the way from
5000 to 1900. And it was .
merry crowd, with the spirit OF
holiday. Masquerade costumes
funny, grotesque, ridiculous and
some really beautiful. made the
evening a most attractive one.
The courthouse square, swept
clean, was the stage for the big
party and until late hour dane
ers and merrymakers sported
and cavorted on the smooth sur
face of the asphalt to delightful
tunes.
During the festival the streets
were packed from McKee's cor
rer on Main street to Elders
store and the courthouse ward
was filled to overl1owing. Mans
of the old-timers have said they
never saw so many people in
Richmond. The weather could
not have been better. the great
crowd orderly and happy at all
times and every event but one
was hotly contested for, and the
lucky winners greatly appreciat-
ed the prizes they won.
