The throngrs of people that poured through the doors of the hotel em- braced practically every one ever seen or hfard of in San Francisco, and a great many who are quite unknown to fame. Ther* were as many grades of society as there were modes of dress, but it iras a gathering to be proud of and particularly under the circum- stances. The entire gamut of femininv costuming, from evening gowns to tai- lor suits was run. but most of those present wore exquisite white or pale- huf»d gowns of chiffon, lace net or silk — an. occasional one decollete — with big be-p!umed hats, generally black or white. The big glass door of the hotel swung to admit new arrivals from early in the evening until after midnight. Throngs of people in gala attire surged back and forth in the foyer, and every available room on the ground floor of the vast building was filled by the constantly changing crowds. The management has been wise enough to be sparing of decorations, and the wide spaces of the rooms, \u25a0where the white walte formed the background for the living picture of the holiday crowd were very impres- sive. The ballroom, with its white and dull gold. Its magnificent electric chan- deliers, and the tall mirrors repeating the scene, transported one in imagina- tion to a court function. The dining room had been turned into a music room and was exquisitely decorated with pale pink carnations and branches of delicate green. Under the rotunda of the palmroom punch and lemonade •were served by fair committee mem- bers from a horseshoe table decorated with pink "carnations. v ";.'\u25a0•-*-' *An excellent musical programme was given in the dining room. Early in the evening solos were sung by Miss Virginia Pierce. Miss Camille Frank and Romeo Frick. Later selections were given by Mrs. Dorothy Goodselle Cimm. John Carrington and Mrs. J. E. Birmingham. The Fairmont orchestra, under the leadership of Bernard Jaulus. played in the foyer during the evening. In ad- dition there was music by the Stanford Glee Club, the University of California Glee Club, the Swedish Sing- Ing Society and the De Koven Glee Club. The entire musical programme was under the direction of Dr. H. J. Ftewart. organist of. Trinity Church. ' In the dining-room a quieter music- loving public gathered around the mu- sical stars who gave their services for charity. The ballroom drew the de- votees of the dance as well as thrones of others, who watched the pretty sight- It •was the occasion for reunions of old friends and conversation went mer- rily from early in the evening until far into the night. An'event as unique as it was splendid was the monster promenade con- cert given at the Fairmont Hotel last evening for the three charities,-^ the Doctor's Daughters, the San Francisco Polyclinic and the San Francisco Nursery for Homeless Children. It is stated that between $15,000 and $20,000 willgo to augment the funds of the three chanties as a result of the enfer- temment.

PASSENGER ON SCENIC RAILWAY AT CHUTES IS INJURED IN ACCIDENT Charles Rohu May Die /'as . Result of Thrilling; \u25a0••'• Experience Clings to Trestle Hundred Feet Above Ground Until- Rescued THROWN FROM CAR | Screams attracted the attention of. people at the Chutes last might to the trestle of .t he. scenic railway, where a man was suspended by his heels a hundred feet- above the ground. The man swayed in mid air. as ha screamed, and as a car loaded with pleasure seekers bowled over the part of the trestle from which he was sus- pended : the confusion increased. It looked for a time as . if. the man would be hurled to his death by the mo- mentum of the cars passing over him* and the machinery of the railway was hurriedly stopped. The bottom car contained a party, one of the members of which said that the man was Charles Rohu of 1215 Ninth avenue, who had been la their car and bad \u25a0< tried to -crawl to another car coupled behind as they were dash- ing around a sharp . curve. Rohu . lost his . balance and was thrown from the car. His sleeve caught In the cog chain of the railway, and h© was dragged a conslderbla distance .along the trestle before he was able to disengage himself. TvTien he dld» so ;he was so dazed that ! h» slipped through the staging support- ing the tracks. The twisting of . his heels between two of the narrow ties saved him from being instantly dashed to the ground.' When the. cars stopped running ovar him, Rohu ceased screaming and re- mained mute until a rescue party reached him. When he was finally pulled to the trestle he was found to be bleeding about the head. He> was hurried to the» Central emergency hospital, where he fainted, and the sur- geons found .that he had sustained a fractured skull. - At : midnight : It was said that Rohu probably would die.

Th»» effect In the stately apartmentof these dainty gowns, especially whenmingled with the brilliant uniforms otthe many army and navy men present

Mrs. A. W. Foster wore black laceand a small black hat.
Mrs. Eleanor Martin was gowned inblack silk and lace, with a small hatof white maline and pink roses.
The throngrs of people that pouredthrough the doors of the hotel em-braced practically every one ever seenor hfard of in San Francisco, and agreat many who are quite unknown tofame. Ther* were as many grades ofsociety as there were modes of dress,but it iras a gathering to be proud ofand particularly under the circum-stances. The entire gamut of femininvcostuming, from evening gowns to tai-lor suits was run. but most of thosepresent wore exquisite white or pale-huf»d gowns of chiffon, lace net or silk
—an. occasional one decollete
—with big
be-p!umed hats, generally black orwhite.
The big glass door of the hotel swung to admit new arrivals from early
in the evening until after midnight. Throngs of people in gala attire surged
back and forth in the foyer, and every available room on the ground floorof the vast building was filled by theconstantly changing crowds.
The management has been wiseenough to be sparing of decorations,
and the wide spaces of the rooms,\u25a0where the white walte formed thebackground for the living picture ofthe holiday crowd were very impres-
sive. The ballroom, with its white anddull gold. Its magnificent electric chan-deliers, and the tall mirrors repeating
the scene, transported one in imagina-tion to a court function. The diningroom had been turned into a musicroom and was exquisitely decoratedwith pale pink carnations and branchesof delicate green. Under the rotundaof the palmroom punch and lemonade•were served by fair committee mem-bers from a horseshoe table decoratedwith pink "carnations. v ";.'\u25a0•-*-'*Anexcellent musical programme was
given in the dining room. Early inthe evening solos were sung by MissVirginia Pierce. Miss Camille Frankand Romeo Frick. Later selectionswere given by Mrs. Dorothy GoodselleCimm. John Carrington and Mrs.J. E. Birmingham. The Fairmontorchestra, under the leadership ofBernard Jaulus. played in thefoyer during the evening. In ad-dition there was music by theStanford Glee Club, the University ofCalifornia Glee Club, the Swedish Sing-Ing Society and the De Koven GleeClub. The entire musical programmewas under the direction of Dr. H. J.Ftewart. organist of.Trinity Church. '
In the dining-room a quieter music-loving public gathered around the mu-sical stars who gave their services forcharity. The ballroom drew the de-votees of the dance as well as thronesof others, who watched the prettysight-
It •was the occasion for reunions ofold friends and conversation went mer-rilyfrom early in the evening until farinto the night.
An'event as unique as it was splendid was the monster promenade con-cert given at the Fairmont Hotel last evening for the three charities,-^ theDoctor's Daughters, the San Francisco Polyclinic and the San FranciscoNursery for Homeless Children. It is stated that between $15,000 and $20,000
willgo to augment the funds of the three chanties as a result of the enfer-temment.

THROWN FROM CAR
| Screams attracted the attention of.people at the Chutes last might to thetrestle of .the. scenic railway, where aman was suspended by his heels ahundred feet- above the ground.
The man swayed in mid air. as hascreamed, and as a car loaded withpleasure seekers bowled over the partof the trestle from which he was sus-pended :the confusion increased.It looked for a time as .if. the man
would be hurled to his death by the mo-mentum of the cars passing over him*and the machinery of the railway washurriedly stopped.
The bottom car contained a party,one of the members of which said thatthe man was Charles Rohu of 1215Ninth avenue, who had been la theircar and bad \u25a0< tried to-crawl to anothercar coupled behind as they were dash-ing around a sharp .curve.
Rohu . lost his . balance and wasthrown from the car. His sleevecaught In the cog chain of the railway,and h© was dragged a conslderbladistance .along the trestle before hewas able to disengage himself. TvTienhe dld» so ;he was so dazed that !h»slipped through the staging support-ing the tracks.
The twisting of.his heels betweentwo of the narrow ties saved him frombeing instantly dashed to the ground.'
When the.cars stopped running ovarhim, Rohu ceased screaming and re-mained mute until a rescue partyreached him. When he was finallypulled to the trestle he was foundto be bleeding about the head. He>was hurried to the» Central emergencyhospital, where he fainted, and the sur-geons found .that he had sustained afractured skull.-
At:midnight :Itwas said that Rohuprobably would die.
