Best of Everything in All the Departments. Program For Tonight -the Fair." Notes of The only way to have a proper con ception of the symmetry and well rounded, artistic excellence of the street fair is to visit the grounds and get a mental picture such as pen can not describe or artist paint. The panorama in all its grandeur and beauty is ready for the most careful and critical inspection. Bright and delightful weather is the Mr ft ft it) ft W Hi W w sheesh, into the Streets of India. This portion of the ground is con tinually crowded. Real Life. Greatest or all. however, ib the Midway Plaisance. As the barker says it is life real life. There is a longing on the part of the gaudy tat terdemalions for "filthy lucre" which accounts for the lusty shouts to come closer. It is backsheesh with a semtilance of return. The dancing girls are still thepopular idols of the crowd while patriotism suns galore in the tent exhibiting the war pictures. Attendance. - The attendance "Wednesday night was immense. Large .crowds are in the city today to attend the fair. V Thrilling Exhibition. Nero, the Alino Hon in the wild animal show on the midway, is the only one of his species ever captured and trained. Prof. Stadler, the trainer, gives a most thrilling exhi- i bilion in the cage with Nero and Vebus. The two beasts are put through all sorts of tricks, aud at the conclusion are made to jump through hoops of tire.

' Lavish provision has been made for the accommodation of visitors, especially in the distribution of set tees throughout the grounds. The s e resting places for tired sighfc-seers will accommodate hundreds; but the wealth of attractions on .every hand shortens their time for rest, so that others can take their seats. Merchants' Display. Aside from the kaleidoscopic grand eur the real merit of the fair is, of c6urse, in the display of Akron mer chants and manufacturers. The great influx of sight-seers is toward the avenue of booths. It is not for a mere cursory view, but for a careful inspection of the latest goods and appliances. The whirl of amusement finds hero a conservatism which is delightful. It ib the best of every thing in every department. Add to this material beauty the blaze of light from thousands of electric burners, the piercing rays of the search light, and the flaming torch of natural gas it is evening. Elephant Procession. As one is finishing the circuit of the main grounds the shrill cry rings out, "Stop her. Now then for Joppa! Ease her. Any one for GIzeh?" It is the elephant and camel procession carrying its merry load of freight over the grounds. Seeing the ele phant is not enough. You must ride on the elephant.
