GRACE CHURCH FAIR-Everybody was de.
lighted last night by the tabieaux which are
being exhibited at Island Hall In connection
with the fan now held by the congregation of
Grace Church, Rev Alfred Holmead, rector.
Tae tabieaux were excellent; the representa-
lions last night OF the Indian characteristics
could hardly have been surpassed even by the
aborigines. The "Pocahontss Pictures,'' so
familiar TO US all were, for that reason, bold
attempts and perfectly successful, and do
credit 10 those who designed and executed
them. The Indian chief upon the isolated rock
with his squaw was a decided hit. The go useu
Of Sheba" was str'kingly handsome, and the
general effect OF the whole set was such as to
cause Il repetition of every scene three times,
and some four, which must have been very
complimentary to all concerned. We wish the
good people no have catered so admirably
for the public taste will meet with every sue
cess.
The excellent band belonging to the LIST regi.
ment Meigs Il yards performed at the fair last
evening, and though it was their first appear
ance in public, tthey having been in operation
about two months their performance would
have done credit to veteran bands.
