Second Night of the Hospital Fair
Donations COntinued-The Voting
ON the SwOrd..The Piano and
Afghan..Tho Lunch, &c, &c.

The Ladies' Fair for the benefit of the
College Hospital, though goodly number
were present, was not so well attended last
evening, as its merits deserve, and as we
hope to see it hereafter. 1t was, it Is true,
an unpleasant evening, but the liberality
and public spirit of our citizens should
prompt them to forego some inconvenience.
We continue our list of donations to the
Fair. The silver set lined with gold was pre-
sented by Mr.. Savage. Fine cakes have been
donated by Lindeman g. Stevenson, Saylor
G. Suydam, Mr.. Dixon, Mrs. Hoster, and
Mrs. Joseph Gundersheimer. Mrs. Stromp
has presented basket of grapes and jelly
cake; Mrs. Mack, a basket of apples, and
Mr.. Kennedy, fine picture. Mr.. Steven
son, Mr.. Wenger, and Hopper & Sleigher
have made handsome donations to the
Candy table.
The donations to the Lunch table have
been very numerous and very acceptable.
In this connection, we would state that a
warm dinner will be served up every day
from noon to 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Gentlemen, step up to Ambos Hall each day;
take warm or cold lunch, as you may pre-
fer, and patronize the fair ladies and their
superb Fair.
Acknowledgment of donations and ia
. vors by numerous gentlemen and business
houses will be made id due season.
One of the splendid donations is beauti-
full pair of Ottomans presented by Miss
Rose, worth $75. The needle work upon
it is very fine, and occupied six weeks
time.
The Afghan, on exhibition at the Hall, is
also splendid specimen of elegant work.
The embroidery was executed by Mrs. DR..
Sachse, Mrs. Mithoff, Mrs. Dresel and Mrs.
DR.. Mailman. They were engaged upon it
nearly. two months, and have succeeded ad-
mirably in their undertaking. Tickets for
the Afghan are going off with great rapid
ity. Those who desire chance for it, should
be wide awake.
The elegant Knabe Square Piano, to be
seen at the Hall, and to be drawn during
the Fair, is noticed in another place in this
paper. We need only say here that the
tickets for the drawing of this Piano are in
daily demand, and SO great is the sale, that
ladies and gentlemen who have a desire to
try their luck, and thus contribute to the
Fair, should lose no time In procuring tick
cts.
The voting on the elegant sword to be
presented to one of our Columbus Generals,
is creating quite furor of excitement. We
learn that a very large number of votes
have already been cast, and the prospect is
that the election will grow more animated,
and the competitors more spirited, until the
ballots are closed, and the votes counted
out. Let the friends of each candidate ex-
ert their utmost not to be outdone by either
of the others.
We are desired to state that children will
be admitted to the Fair, during the day, at
ten cents each; and that tickets for the Fair
and for Lunch may be obtained at Kenne-
dy's and Riley's book stores; at Marple's
and Thrall & Benham's drug stores; at
Blynn's and Savage's jewelry stores; at
the Hotels, and at Lindeman G. Co.'s confec-
tionery.
Remember the afflicted and destitute, as
you hope to be remembered and forgiven,
and go to the Fair with liberal heart and
hand.
