money invested by the purchaser, five,
ten, or fifteen cents,) in really valuable and
useful articles This was managed by Miss
Emma Gates. The 'Floral Temple" of which
perhaps we ought to have spoken first in order
of merit, was Of an octagonal form, the roof
composed of evergreen, the supporting columns
of fancy colors, with lace curtains gracefully
loopod, and with two gas Jets shedding a mel
low light upon the fair damscs in the interior,
presided over by the matron of the temple,
Mrs. Elisha Knowles. Credit should be given
for the design of this beautiful floral temple to
Mr.. II. W. Eddy; and to Mr.. J. S. Ballard for
his artistic decorations, especially the floral por-
ton, which were very extensive and entirely
from his own conservatory.
The "Old Folks" were a little delayed in their
attendance by the non-arriyal Of clothing but
the concert which they gave was entirely salts
factory. The "Songs our fathers sang" were
rendered with fine effect and were much enjoy
ed; the orchestra was effective, and the whole
choir was kept well in hand by the energetic
baton of Father Rowland. The costumes worn
caused many remarks, much interest attaching
to many of them from their known antiquity
