Founding Asylum OF the Sisters OF Charity, in

WASHINGTON, CITY, June I, 1871.
In consequence of the brief period between
the date OF obtaining the Permit from the Com
and the day advertised for holding the Concert,
9th June, 1s71,) the undersigned Commission
ers and Trustees find it necessary to postpone
the Concert and distribution of Gifts until the
9th of July next, as twas impossible in SO short
q time to establish Agencies and complete the
sale OF the advertised number of tickets.
In making this announcement, we are pleased
TO state that the rapid sale of tickets up to this
date demonstrates the public confidence, and
gives assurance that there will be no need Of
further postponement. The extension Row made
will, in our judgement, be ample for the dis
posal Of the balance of tickets vet on hand.
We will simply add, in conclusion, that the
proceeds are under the control of the Commits
missioners for the security of all ticket holders.
In all other respects the published notices I'm re-
lation to this Concert and distributions win be
carried out.
