the Free Market amounts to .s507 TO-. This fs
handsome sum, and should encourage persons

SWORD PREsENTArIoS.--Yes morning the
members of Company A, Police Guard, presented
their Captain, Frank j. Read, with a splendid
sword and belt, at their Armory, at the corner of
Lafayette and st. Charles Streets It appears that
the affair was an entire surprise to the gallant Cap
tain, as it gotten up with the greatest secrecy
imaginable. Ez-Mayor stith presented the sword
in behalf Of the Company, and while doing so al
luded feelngly and eloquently to the Captains
qualities as man and officer. Capt. Read, though
taken somewhat aback, responded in style which
showed his readiness to meet emergencies. After
the presentation was over, the Company broke
ranks and disposed of bowl of champagne
punch and other good things, and then fell in again
and paraded through the different streets. Capt.
Read, though but of late military officer, is well
known as an able and efficient officer in the city
police force, having occupied the responsible posi-
ton of Sergeant at the First District police station
during the past three and half years. We have
no doubt but that he will prove as able and eff
cient in military matters. Success to him and his
Company.
FAIR FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ORLEANS CADETS,
COMPANY Eve understand that several patriotic
ladies of the city, among whom is Mrs. Huard,
who has always been the friend of all the compa-
MES Of the organization, are actively preparing for
a fair, which they intend holding at Odd Fellows,
Hall on the 9th Of December-a fair with a view
to raising fund for the equipment of Company
E, Orleans Cadets, of which our esteemed friend,
Capt. j. j. E. blanchard, is the commander. We
earnestly hope that the ladies all over the city will
take an interest in this matter and make it sue
cess in every particular. No better object than
the equipment of so brave set of fellows as com
| prise this company could possibly attract the at
tenton of the fair patriots of our city.
