ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN : MONDAY EVENING, JULY 18. 181)2. SOME GALA WEEK FIGURES WH4TTHB FESTIVAL DID FOR ASHEVILLE. The Aataevllle Street Railway Company's Cars In Four Davit Carried Twenty-Three Thou sand PanaenKers Other Figures ol Interest. Ashevillc's Gala Week, the first ever at tempted here, has become a tiling of the past, except in memory. That the occasion was a success no one will question. Tliecrowds in attend ance were large, and the interest the AsheviUe people took in the festival added much to its success icuniarily. Nearly ererybody seemed to be inter ested In the affair and worked and at tended the events and troubled them selves to show the visitors courtesies that will make them think kindly of the city and its people always. The ladies were by no mentis behind the sterner sex in the interest shown in the Week. They turned out in hiryc nuni lers and their presence lent eiivour."Kc ment to those who had the Week imme diately in hand. A more orderly crowd was never seen in Ashcvillc. There was little oi no drinking, and the police had no more ti do than on ordinary days. Ivverybodv was on his good behavior and stuck to a determination to make his neighbor enjoy himself, Figures do not lie, anil The Citizen prints some figures that will give an idea of the crowds that attended the shoots, tournament, firemen's contests, etc. On the four lines of strett railway operated by the Ashcvillc street railway company there were colle-'ted during Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and I'riilay, nearly L'li.dOO fares. Of course, in a crowd like this, all the fares could not be collected. On Thursday, the big gest day, between 7,000 and N.00O fares were reported. The two regular depot can alone carried over 1 ,'JOO people on this day. Thursday and Friday were the only days on which the races occurred on Montford avenue. On these days the Montford avenue cars carried .'l.tOO people. This number would probably have been almost doubled had there been asullicient nunilier of cars to accom modate all who went out. On the West Ashcvillc and Sulphur Springs line, running; between the passen ger depot and the race course and Sul phur Springs, farts were collected from 4,000 persons in the tour days named. The gate receipts at the race course amounted to about $70U. I'ire Chief Geo. S. Powell tells Tin; Citizkn that the meeting of the firemen's association paid the city well. There were over loo certified delegates and members ol fire companies here for three days. Averaging their expenses at $3 a day a total ol least $'JO0 is given, while the companies could not possibly have carried awav more than $r(iO in prizts. The trade ofthe merchants wasincrcas cd, and business generally was better during the Week. On the whole Ashcvillc has cause for congratulating herself on the outcome of (lata Week. It has shown everyone what the people can do when they try. And next year, when Gala Week opens, there will be a bigger crowd here tlian the MountainJCity never dreamed of. Tin; Citizen commends those who had the arrangement of the Week in hand, and those who assisted by their pres ence in making it the success it was. The Charlotte Observer, speaking for that city's gun clubs, has these good things to say: "Asheville and Greensboro, in fact all, say that Charlotte has ten men who can shoot with any organized team often in the south. Asheville and Greensboro have splendid teams and a friendly spirit of rivalry exists lictween the same as well as Charlotte. Ashevillc's shoot was a success in every way. Their men spared no pains to make every one have a nice time. Charlotte's men were all pleased and are loud in their praises of Asheville and her clever gun club." COUNTY CENTENNIAL. Senator Vance Will lie Here A I.oic Cabin. There was a meeting of the committee of arrangements of thcIluncomlccounty centennial in the rooms of the Com mercial club this morning. A letter was read from Senator Vance by F. A. Sondlcy, in which the Senator stated that it would 1)C impossible for him to deliver an address during the cel ebration, owing to his health, but he ex jiected to be present and mingle with the people in their rejoicings. Col. A. T. Davidson, the chairman of the executive committee, was requested lo invite Hon. A. S. Merrimon to deliver the historical address of the centennial. F. A.Hull was appointed chief director of the trades display , with power to se lect his own subordinates. Capt. M. I. Fagg was appointed a committee of one to have construct'd a log cabin, to be used in the display. In this cabin will be shown the old time spinning wheel and loom. The celebration will begin on August 10, but the 11th will le the great day. Twenty tents will be spread for the ac commodation of the country jxoplc who may come in. On the 12th the confederate veterans' reunion will occur, and persons who come to one can take in both celebra tions. RECORDER'S COURT. Monday Morning In Mr. Miller's Temple of justice.

Frank Lucky had been drunk and was unluckly enough to get ,a $5 fine. Four other drunks were fined $5 each. A. Dogan and Cora Huffman were lined ?5 eacn lor violating section 64-1 Where Will They Go? The Citizen erred in its report of the meeting of the aldermen on Saturday, in stating that the motion to exclude live (owl from the market house was de feated. The motion was earned, Messrs, Waddell, McDowell and Baird voting (or it, and Messrs. Starnes and Leo nard voting against it. Raised a Blake.

KING'S WINDSOR ASBESTOS CEMENT FOR PLASTERING In it" mlinl furm in nuierior to all other plaster, hcc.-iusc, IivIiik mixed hy machinery, the only thing eft to the judgment of the man ot ter. It mult walla and ceillnKi more clastic than auy other material known for plaster ing. The Asucstoi used renders the material a crcat protection against fire, and deadens sound. The exticme density of the Cement renders it vermin and fjerm proof. It will not chip or pit. H Is free from acid. It dries out hair mortar. No action takei place after setting, which is a innttcr of two or three hours only. Frost or water will not injure the work after it Is once set. IUcrience bus shown that ceilings well soaked from any cause will dry out us strong as ever, l'nlling ceilinj-s arc unknown, and the plastering will last as loin as the building Itself. It can be finished In any way of which ordinary plastering Is capable Walls and ceilings made from this material are second to none; and, considering the advantages named, the excels of cost above lime and hair is a small matter.
