THE LADIES' hMEHORlAb" + Alh.--Iuo tuhu
nixnt of the fair, rnder The influences Of the fine
weather and the calls OF duty and patriotism, was
fy,far the most enocessfnl which has Jet been eX-
perienced by the managers. As usual, the hn-
4uence CT the ladies was most percepttby exerted,
anu tho number OF ysnng gentlemen who were
escorted to the hail. and led up tO be sacrlaced 10
chances by their patriotic female friends, was far
more numerous than could be reasonably expect
Cd. The demand for chances also assumed some'
thing like reason, and many rattle lists were
completed in short order. Around tlN refresh
ment table the scene was also more animated,
and many OF the dsinties were disposed OF IN Dill
fsrent ways BY the vendors and yendee' to the
frfinite satisfaction Of both parties. With the
tarong Of youth and beauty slowly elrciing around
the rafde stand, the whole fair seemed
70 partake OF their influence, and assume q
brighter aud more attractive appearance. As the
aj9nsl for the rattle would be given the crowd
would stop, aud Closing around the stand await
In silence the chance OF fortune. AT the seats be-
Aind the tables in The art gallery under the parti
colored folds OF the Gypsy tent, oil was life and
sHima.ion, and until the prescribed hopr for
closing the crowd grew hardly Less. The evening
was but an example OF what all should aave been,
and what, judging BY the enjoyment OF tnose
present, the remaining ones are snre to be. Come,
one and all, and II nothing more give your coun-
tenance to the effort OF the ladies'.
