On every tree ania in iront or every booth were hung lanterns, .made of partl-cplored paper, which showed the carious devices with which they were adorned, as soon as the light was placed within them. The vjst numbers or these fanciful lanterns shed a soft light through' out the grounes, and gave an effect at once striking and picturesque to the gay scenes which were being enacted* The display was yet heightened by the fireworks which were let off later and closed the outdoor amusemeats of th Fe.st. In the beautifully illuminated ball-roo tue dancers kept it up much later, and not be fore 10 o'clock did the merry-makers bethink themselves of the ways or getting back to the city. This waa the last scene of the great annual noli day or our German citizens. The last day was wonderful success, aad shows what the festival would have b;en had not the bad weather Inter ferel on the preceding days. The Sch?tzenfest has become an institution in Charleston, and its annual recurrence anticipated with almost as much interest hy the citizens generally as'by the Gormans. ^ . ....
