The large room was so densely crowd
ed during a portion of the evening,
that it was almost impossible to get
through it. Each night the attend
auce has grown larger, owing to the
favorable changes in the weather.
The tables of fancy articles were
patronized in the most liberal man
ner, and a great many useful and or
namental articles were sold. The re-
ceipts from this source alone will be
quite large.
The lunch tables yesterday were
we'll supported, and great many per-
sons took their dinner at the Hall.
The refresbment tables last night
were crowded nearly all the time, and
the supply OF substantials and deli
caeies seemed to be inexhaustible.
Quite number of articles were
rafflsd of. but the finest prizes will be
drawn this evening and to morrow
night, -
9 The receipts at the door, OF We'd
