BAZAAR AND DANCE
ATTRACT BIG CROWD
I

The ladies responsible for getting
up the bazaar and dance in aid
of the Nenana bed in the American
Hospital at Neuilly France, and all
those who helped in the cause, are
to be heartily congratulated on the
success of the affair, which was
largely attended at Union Hall last
night.
| The Red Cross ladies of Nenana
jdid much hard work and with the aid
I of a few willing male workers, had
[succeeded in transforming the in
ferior of the Union Hall into a regu
llar fairy garden. Beautifully deco
1 rated booths, where the various
[articles were temptingly displayed,
were arranged all around the hall,
each booth being in charge of f,
bevy of fair Nenanaites attired as
Red Cross nurses. The various
gambling “joints” were interspersed
among the booths.
A strong windstorm sprang up
late in the afternoon, with some
snow, the sky overcast and the day
murky, and it was feared that it
would detract considerably from the
function in the way of attenadnce-1
That Nenanaites are “there" when;
it comes to a matter of patriotic en
deavour was once again established
and in spite of the stormy and
disagreeable weather, turned out in
force to help swell the fund for
the upkeep of the beds for the use
of the boys “over there.”
The bazaar opened shortly after j
8 o’clock and the various gambling
games commenced operations simul
taneously^ and from then on until
sometime in the “wee sma’ hours”
thre was something doing all the
time. A large space in the center
of the hall was left clear for the
dancers, and a great many tripped
the light fantastic to the strains of
Herman Rosburg’s three-piece or
chestra, while at the same time the
various booths and gambling games
did a brisk business.
Special carnival money was in
circulation; there was no small
change, five dollars being the least
one CO...J spend at a time. Special
Disbursing Agent Frank Doner had
charge of the financial end of the
affair and was kept busy gathering
in the sheckels for the Neuilly bed
in exchange for the carnival money.
Frank w’orked his business in part
aership with O. M. Jackson, of the
Portland, on the “art union” prin
:iple. Jackson presided over the
.■rap table, which was situated next
:o Frank’s table, near the head of
die stairs, and as regularly as Jack
‘cleaned” the gamblers who pat
ronized him he passed the “dough”
;o Frank, who promptly sold it to
lis importunate clientele.
The booth next to the crap table
vas in charge of Mesdames F. D.
Srowne and J. R. Bowen, assisted
>y Dr. Bowen and did a very large “
►usiness. Dr. Bowen attended to
he wheel of fortune and did con
iderable “speiling" in extolling the
lualities of the articles which were
affled on the wheel.
The roulette wheel was placed
lext -to this booth and was worked
iy Dr. David More, assisted by
indy Harkeom. The popular medico )

'Casino at Monte Carlo, by the deft
way in which he handled the elusive
pill, the settling of which held so
much hope for his patrons; while
Andy was busily occupied doing the
paying out or gathering in stunt,
I mostly the latter. Several'system
: atic and organized attempts were
1 made to break the bank, but the
[ doctor and Andy merely smiled,
j They knew. And the “cleaning"
! process continued.
The tea booth was next to Dr.
! More’s layout and was in charge of
Mesdames Ike P. Taylor, Leroy
Moyer and R. G. Southworth, and
a great many availed themselves of
its shelter and indulged in the "cup
that cheers, but—” with the usual
accompaniment of dainty eats. The
Fish pond, across the way from the
tea booth was in charge of Mes
dames W. H. Gilcher, M. V. Tyler
and Alex Fowler, assisted by Miss
Margaret Southworth, and did a
brisk business throughout the night.
This booth was largely patronized
by the younger people and many a
surprise package was fished from
the depths beyond the counter.
The home-made goodies booth, in
charge of Mesdames James Old
field and Norman Campbell, was
well patronized and the delectable
goodies on sale were rapidly snap
ped up by eager purchasers, who did
not hesitate to pay f've dollars for
a loaf of bread or a few cookies.
Right alongside of the home-made
goodies booth, the hand-made ar
ticles booth was doing a roaring
business. This booth was in charge
of Mesdames R. R. Myers, E. R.
Brown and J. T. Steel and the many
beautiful articles displayed skill
lully found ready purchasers.
At the foot of the stage the black
jack table was placed and attracted
a large crowd during the course of
the night and a splendid business
was transacted there. The game
wes in charge of Mr. and Mrs. van
O'rsdel, who smilingly “cleaned”
their patrons regularly.
The bazaar was voted a huge suc
cess by all present and every branch
of it without exception contributed
materially to the pleasure of the
evening and to the fund for which
it was got up. The several workers
lid their parts enthusiastically and
deserve warm praise for making the
if fair such a great success.
The gambling feature of the
entertainment “took” strongly with
:he crowd, especially with the ladies,
vho played at the various layouts
vith a reckless abandon worthy of
he traditions of Monte Carlo and
he early days of the Klondike rush,
rhe gambling spirit would appear
0 have imbued almost everyone,
ind even Dr. Diven was seen going
rom one layout to another with
1 smile on his face and a roll of
‘phony” bills tightly grasped in his
land.
The actual results of the bazaar
ind dance are not available, as sev
ral of the committee in charge 1
lave not been heard from up to a ,
ate hour today. The figures avail
ble, however, show that the sub
tantial sum of $1389 was taken in.

onservative estimate of the income.
