A FAIRY SCENE.-People in a theatre will
applaud splendid scene or beautiful pas
sage, having paid dollar for the privilege,
but those who visited Odd Fellows Hall
last night witnessed sight, and became
part of it themselves, that will not fade
from memory during life. We do not speak
of any one particular scene, but of the entire
rsom and contents during the evening" The
ladies were even pleasanter and handsomer
than on previous evenings, and the articles
offered for sale more tempting, the bouquets
fresher and more beautiful. The concert
proved really attractive, filling the main
and rear rooms to excess.
The music was artistic, and therefore
satisfactory, and after the last note died
away there was not sufficient room to
accommodate all present in the large hall.
The gentlemen were free with their cur
rency, consequently there were many
pleasant parties at the various tables, in
dulging in few of the dainty dishes from
hands of fairy-like walters; but the ladies
were equal to the emergency, accepting the
situation charmingly. Indeed, not few of
the tables sold out all they had to eat.
Votings for the several prizes we're brisk,
but we were sorry to note that our tiremen
neglected to vote either early, often or late
for a magnificent silver bowl, one that
would add greatly to the decoration of
machine on parade days. As this is the last
night of the fair, the companies should
make an effort to secure this treasure.
The. concert will be repeated tonight,
and it will certainly prove gratifying to all
who may give themselves the pleasure Of a
visit.
Lunch day, and gentlemen are invited
to attend about midday to partake of light
and appetizing refreshments, furnished by
beauty and refinement. The temptation is
great, and need not be resisted, for it will
not be cowardly to fear contact with those

Haben, a deckhand. Blows were struck

after which he snatched out his revolver
and blazed away at Haben, doing no execu-

neutrality. Captain Flanagan's harbor po-

Officer Crafty, who arrested the belliger-
ents. Charge and counter charge were
