LAST NIGHT SEES BIG CROWDS
Rika Fair Proves Great Saeceaa,
Both Financially mm4
Socially.
Tbe first and only Elks' street fslr sad
carnival, after a week of unprecedented
success from every standpoint, closed last
night. As hsd been anticipated the clos
ing day witnessed the largest attendance
of the week and It I estimated that dur
ing tb afternoon and night clone upon
16,000 people visited tbe fair. At night
many left early, fearing the closing licence
generally attendant on such occasions, but
there waa little, If any, rowdyism, as every
member of the lodge on the ground con
stituted himself a committee of on to
suppress all disorderly conduct.
Considerable disappointment was felt
when word waa received that the Sioux
City lodge had been unable to make suit
able term with th railroad and. therefor
could not assist In closing th carnival.
It wa roughly estimated last night that
at least 60,000 people had visited the fair
during the week! Tb members of th
Council Bluffs lodge worked hard for th
success of th carnival and they have
been amply rewarded and the lodge will
reap a handsome profit from It.
Tbe prizes donated by the business men
and firm of Council Bluffs will be dis
tributed Tueaday night. Announcements
will be made from tbe bandstand In Bay
Use's park.
Voting on the diamond ring contest did
not close until tbe clock on the Bloomer
school house tolled tbe midnight hour and
excitement until tbe name of the fortunate
young woman who will wear tbe spsrkler
was announced, was Intense. The voting
was brisk tha greater part of the day,
but th rush was during tbe last hour
and especially the last ten minutes before
th contest closed.
According to the vote the most popular
young woman In Council Bluffs is Georgia
Mitchell, and aa such she will wear the
ring. Tbe vote was: Georgia Mitchell,
1.212; Adah Sargent. 830; Gladys Hart, 383;
Edna Keellne, 123.
