THE GREAT FA1E.-The Ladies' Relief Asso-
citation for the soldiers of the District of Celum-
bia held meeting at the residence OF Hon. S
J. Bowen on Dec. 2lst and elected a full board
OF officers and managers for all the wards Of
the city. Hon. J. p. Usher, Secretary OF the
Interior, having offered the large hall in the
Forth front of the Patent Office building for the
fair, it WAS unanimously accepted with many
thanks. The PRECEDENT of the association has
appointed committees in each ward to make
collections, and these ladies, together with the
officers of the association, are determined to
make this fair equal to any of the kind yet held
in any city Of the Union. At the fairs in Chi
cago, Boston and other cities large amounts
were realized, and there is a fair now in pro-
gress in Cincinnati which promises II increase
largely the funds Of the Sanitary Commission.
There is no reason why the fair here should
not equal if not exceed many of them.
