The Orphans Fair.

Notwithstanding the extraordinary at
fractions at the theatre and the circus last
night, Masonic Hall was crowded, and the
ladies we're kept busy as bees until near
midnight. Considerable business was done,
but not sufficient TO warrant the closing of
the fair, which would necessitate the sacri.
ice Of number of valuable articles. the
ladies not having as yet sold sufficient
number of chances on many to pay their
frst cost. In consequence of this the ladies
will continue the fair on Monday night.
when tits hoped that they will be able TO
dispose Of all their stock satisfactorily.
A quadrille band has been engaged, and
during the process of taking chances
and disposing OF the articles, yisi-
tors can "trip it on the light fantastic toeu
TO their hearts content. Indeed, although
Monday night will be devoted to business
to certain extent, yet all parties inter-
ested can, by acting promptly, fill up the
lists in very short time, and thus make
the night one of general enjoyment.
Ga Wednesday night the annual ball
will be given at the school building on
Vine street. A double band has been en-.
gagged, and We need scarcely say word in
regard to what may be expected-these
balls are among the best ever gotten up,
and the public know il, and therefore look
forward to the annual event with fond an.
ticipations.
Among the new presents received yes
terdsy were fiue ham sent to Mrs: Breau-
man BY Mrs. z. Ottenvilie, and some cake
sent TO Mesdames Kennedy and Whelan
BY Mrs. Jacob McGavock. We ought not to
omit mention of little Eugene, who has
proved himself the best boy at the fair,

ring the entire week. He deserves the
thanks of the association for his zeal and
industry.
