The good work of the charitable ladies In behalf
of st. Vincent's Asylum goes brsvely on. The
interest on the part Of the public is great and the
attractions set forth irresistible. 1t would be a
difficult matter to determine to whom should be
awarded most praise, whether to the generous
patrons, the public, or to the noble hearted true
women who have charge Of the entertainment.
All things duly considered 1t must be conceded
that to the lady patronesses all honor and all
praise Is due. +.ai
