PREPARATIONS FOR PEOPLES CLUB FAIR.
A large and interesting meeting of the Peoples
club was held last evening at the Natural His
tory hall, to make the preliminary arrange
ments for grand fair, to be held in Mechanics
hall during the month of October. The treasurer
reported the probable expenses of the club for
the first six months, and carefully considered
estimate of the amount needed to complete its
first year; showing that, with the re-opening OF
the rooms after the summer vacation in the
more spacious apartments leased by them of
Brinley hall and adjoining rooms, that an over
flowing treasury would be very desirable.
A lively interest was evinced by all present
that the fair should be pushed forward with
Vigor, and that every one in any way interested
in the welfare of the club should be most cordi-
ally invited to lend helping hand. The gene
raj management of the fair was entrusted to an
executive committee as follows: Edward R.
Fiske, DIR. Geo. {. Francis, E. D. Burlington,
j. NJ. Barker, David Manning, W. T. Brown,
Mrs. F. H. Kinnicutt, Mrs J. D. Chollar This
committee is requested to meet This afternoon
at half-past four O'Clock at the rooms of the
club. Further particulars regarding the fair,
with the names of the committee in charge Of
the several tables will be published soon.
The SECOND EXCURSION AND CONCERT of
the Choral Union is attracting more attention
from our singers, and will call out larger at
tendance of the members, than the previous one.
At no meeting of the society this season has
there been so many present as at the rehearsal
srl,& al bo ,bo
last one prior to the excursion. There will,
however, be one more rehearsal on Thursday
night, 18th inst, at the same place, at which
the attendance of every member is requested.
The famous rain chorus" from the oratorio
of" Elijah, Thanks be to God" is to be add.
ed to the programme as originally intended at the
request of prominent Providence gentleman.
The interest taken in this excursion and concert
of the Choral Union by persons outside Provi-
dence, is shown by the general demand for an ex-
ira train, which has been met by the officers of the
Providence and Worcester railroad with their
usual philosophical liberality, they having ar
ranged for train to leave Providence after the
conclusion of the entertainment, stopping to
leave passengers at the principal stations.
