Fair for St. Tincemt de Paurs Charch.-The
good Father Foltier has been compelled to hold
Fair, in the Hall adjoining his church, that
the great expense incurred in building the
magnificent temple Of St. Vincents might be
liquidated. The tables are elegantly decorated
and "groaning under good things" In con-
spicuous place We noticed the Hibernia
Table, under the direction of Mrs. Walsh,
assisted by Mrs. Perkins and Mrs. Tifets. A
splendid silver signal-lamp, surmounted by a
golden Neptune, is to be voted for at this table
by the firemen of the Third District. The in
habitants of the "Third " have now on oppor-
tunity of testifying their appreciation of our
Fire Department by casting their votes for one
of the contesting companies, Nos 3, and 10.
There is also o beautiful picture, donated by
Mr.. Gogarty, Isl Camp street, to be ratified at
25 cents q chance. st. Vincent's Table, over
which Mines. Leonard and WATSON preside has
plenty of excellent Rhine wine, kindly fur
nshed by Schmidt s. Zeigler-tl1e rest of the
liquors are from the "Sazerac." The chief
article of interest here is the magnificent
Bucks Brilliant" most generously given by
Mr.. Halter. Mrs. Tyrrell dispenses punch
highly delicious to any thirsty individual who
may happen to be in the Fair. The name of
her table is suggestive of her nationality,
the Cross and Shamrock" Among the valu-
able notablites are "Charter Oak" from
those charitable gentlemen, Rice & Bros, and
a splendid gas lamp. presented by d. McKen-
drick, AGA Magazine street. The assistants of
Mrs. Tyrrel are Mrs Ramsey, Miss Lizzie Ker-
rigan and Miss Mollie Gallagher. We found
ST. Joseph's Table under the charge of the
Misses Cornet, and Miss Schamberg. A beau
tifully carved statue of Plus IN. will fall to
some one who holds the lucky number The
friends of Capt. Cannon, of the "Lee," Capt.
White, of the "Paggoud," and Capt. Burdeau,
striving that their favorte may be the for
tunate possessor of handsome gold headed
cane. The Children of Mary have beautiful
set of vestments to be voted for between a
curate of st. .Patrickss and one of st. Peters.
There is also a most elegant picture, "The
Maidens Prayer" to be given away at ten cents
a chance. The Misses Chevillon, Cooney and
Card have charge of this table. Two magni-
ticent altars-one for the boys and one for the
girls-will be presented to the most popular
boy and girl of the Catholic schools. The
French Restaurant" Nine. Adam, Nine. Lee
and Mile. Adam, offers morsels sufficiently
tempting to any epicure. But one of the most
interesting features of the Fair will be the
voting among three ladies for n beautiful gold
cross and chain. The ladies are Mrs. Tyrrel
(Irish), Mrs. Leonard Germany, and Mile.
Wilt (French). The gentlemen of those var.
GUS nationalites are invited to enter the field
and sustain their" Queen against all Others
Wetrust that the attendance during the coming
week will be more numerous than it was the
last. Father Foltier has worked night and
day with the greatest energy and zeal for the
material as well as the spiritual interests of
his parshioners, and deserves the assistance
of all to make this Fair a success, as upon this
depends his release from heavy and pressing
debts incurred in building the new church.
Besides, the Fair itself, attended by the beau
tiful and good ladies of the Third in whose
company it is both agreeable and instructive
to spend an hour, certainly offers sufficient
Inducements to all to attend. Come forward
in your full strength, good friends, and as GER
tain as the Fair is made financial success by
your generosity, certain is it that Father
Foltier will grant you respite for some time
to come in the way of Fairs
Fair.tor the Sisters Of ST. Joseph.-This fair was
inaugurated at Odd Fellows Hall last Monday
evening by u concert under the direction of
Miss Theresa Caunou Many notable amateurs
assisted this very. charitable and talented
young lady, in presenting the patrons of their
good work with musical repertoire of a most
exceptionally eclectic nature. The partici:
pants were in excellent voice, rendering the
favorite passages with stpdious adherence to
recognized rules. The tables plainly bespeak
the supervision of ladies accustomed to taste
full and elegant decoration. Tho greater part
of the articles will be ratified at amazingly low
prices. To think of beautiful Mater Doloro-
81, an Ecce Homo and Madonna Catissima,
all donated by Mr.. p. F. Gogarty, given away
at 25 cents chance. Bracelets, prie-dieux,
large cakes, ETC., constitute a grand tombola
occupying a goodly portion of the Hall. A
young bear, nightly amuses the frequenters by
traversng the table and uttering cries peculiar
to ito species There ia n larpe numher of
