y HE MONUMENTAL FAIR.-There was o great
accession to the nuMber Of visitors at the Fair
last night, and the tables rich in an innumer-
able variety of supplementals that we're to be
seen ON the two past evenings. AS fast as the
articles are rafi I'D they are replaced by SEEM
ingly better ones. The tables generally are
really worth especial observation; look well at
the beautiful pieces of woman's handiwork:
see what tho pains-taking labor of man has
contributed, all so tastily and prominently ar
ranged, SO that they can come within the range
Of the eye at a glance.
The Juvenile table, on the north side OF the
hall, with it's abundance of small wares to
please the young folk, is not the least interest
ing feature of the entertainment.
The balloting for the Firemen's Prize is get
ting intensely exciting, and each company is
beginning to show its strength and come up in
phalanxcs. The ladies', too, are interested in
their favorites, and are as earnest in their soft
entreaties as woman can be. The contest is
sharp one. and seems to be the source of some
excitement in the Department.
Finely Autographed rolls of the dead of the
association are sold for one dollar, and will no
doubt be sought after by many as precious me-
mentoes of the checkered past.
The moving mass. the soft music, the parti-
colored grabs swung to and fro, the rich cano-
pies OF the tables the banner aloft. the fes-
toons of evergreens, make up picturesque
whole, and brief list Of charming attractions
that eliminate ir Hibernian Hall.
The prize punch bowl won by the Palmetto
Fire Company, will be sent to the Fair for the
inspection Of the fremen.
