No FAIR.-We are requested to
state that the occasion afforded by the
ladies at Metropolitan Hall on next Tues,
evening, is no Fair, as might be in.
fered from our article yesterday. The
ladies must pardon us, for insnuating as
much. But it they had only posted us. an
ter nos. on the subject, 1t would not have
have occurred. We will also state that the
ticket for admission not only takes the
bearer into the Hail. but it takes him out
with sane amount of funds in his pocket
as when he entered. There will be no side
shows, post offices, nor goods for sale. The
arrangement is of another nature, something
like-well, we won't guess again go and
see what it is like, then you will know
But be sure and 90. Do you hear?
