The Robes were strolling about, the barkers were ex crcislng their lungs to the fullest ex tent and the inevitable “Hit the coop in the head" was also there. in charge of "All Hot” Oliver Burton. The entertainment was excellently given and showed much thorough pre- paration which is so necessary for a successful production. The fair will conclude this evening and undoubtedly ' the Catholic Club. under whose ause piece it is being given. will realize a large sum out of the enterprise. There were several hundred people present last night and that all enjoyed the nor- el entertainment is beyond question. Pievious to the opening numbers on the program Freeman s orchestra dis coursed sweet music, which was much appreciated. The'ontcrtniument open ell shortly after 8:30, with a flower chorus and drill given by a number of little girls, prettlly attired in immacu- late white costumes set off with wide green ribbons.

The strike. which has been expeeted for some days, came at 4:15 o'clock this morning, and the earliest stages of the trouble were not without their sinister aspects. The men demand changes and re- forms in methods of administration. The ofllclals of the company have thus far refused to yield. Both sides in- sist that it is a fight to the bitter end. The public meanwhile are walking and watching. The action of the striking cmployes is mainly due to the refusal of the company's officials to reinstate twenty- seven discharged employee. whose dis- missal. the men say, was solely because of their identification with the work of organization.
