Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1865-02-24

Ambos Hall was filled last night by a
large assembly of ladies and gentlemen.
The Tod Barracks Band was present, and
aided in making the evening pass of pleas
antly. 1t was certainly gratifying to see so
large number of persons gathered for one
single noble purpose-to help the Sisters of
the poor of ST. Francis in their self denying
and christian work of taking care of the
afflicted poor and destitute.

Besides those already published, there are

pear as fast and as soon as they are furnish
ed us.
We have already spoken of the elegant
sword on exhibition at the Fair, to be voted
for at one dollar vote, and presented to
the Columbus General who obtains the
highest number of votes. To some readers.
word of explanation may be necessary.
AS we understand it, the ladies have pur-
chased this sword, and expect to pay for it,
not out of the general proceeds of the Fair,
but out of the proceeds arising from the sale
of the votes, and the surplus, which, If the
competition isas brisk as it bids fair to be,will
go to swell the general receipts of the Fair.
1t is In fact method the ladies have taken
to increase those receipts, and is but sale
of tickets for prize to be awarded to the
person whom majority or plurality of the
ticket-holders may designate.
We invite attention to the Afghan, which
is exhibited at the Hall on the left as you
enter. 1t is, perhaps, next to the Knabe
Square Piano, one of the most splendid pri-
zes to be drawn. 1t is Persian or Arabian
cloth or blanket, and is most elegant
specimen OF needle work and embroidery.
Every one who sees 1t cannot fail to admire
1t, and tickets for the prize are selling rap
idly. Examine it and take chance.
The Golden Fountain is now in full play
at the east end OF the Hall, and casts up
beautiful jet Of clear water. This is one of
the many attractions of the Fair.
The Lunch table, we are pleased to state,
was well patronized yesterday. Every day,
from noon till three O'clock p. Ma 4rm
and first rate dinner may be had at the Hall.
Fair hands and willing hearts are always
ready and pleased to wait upon guests.
Lunch and Fair tickets may be obtained at
the book, jewelry and drug stores named
in the lastt issues of this paper, at the
hotels, and at Lindenan & Co.'s confection-
cry. The price of admission to the Fair
is % cents. Children are admitted during
the day at 10 cents each. .i..i,' 4,1' '...
The drawing commenced last evening,and
will be continued on each succeeding even
Ing. Among the fortunate ones last evening,
were Mrs. Stelzer, who drew an elegant
lot of fine needle work, and Judge Pugh,
whose ticket took a handsome set of silver
salts. Buy your tickets for such prizes as
you desire to try your luck in, or they may
be drawn by some more prompt adventurer
before you are. aware that they are ready
for the drawing. The sewing machine and
several other valuable prizes will probably
be drawn this evening.
Sales were very lively last evening at the
different booths and sale tables. While we
were in the Hall an elegant Opera Cloak
was sold for thirty dollars. We heard of
several other sales of fine and valuable az
ticles. The Postof1ice dispensed its missives
from all parts of the world to the lovers of
epistoary correspondence. We observed |
large crowd at the Fish Pond, who seemed |
to be busily engaged in Ike Walton's favor
ite sport. 'o&
The Fair promises to become most de-
cided success. 1t rests with our citizens
and the Columbus public to make it so.
All are aware Of the benevolent object for
which it is held, and, apart from other con-
siderations, it should, for the credit and
honor of our city, be most literally patron
lied. Let each one say it shall be, and lend
helping hand.
