The Algerine Fair.GThe great Fair which
has created 30 much excitement in this city |
aud Algiers opens this evening (ssturday.)
A had been expected, the boys from st. Mary's
Jefferson College will entertain the visitors to |
the Fair with excellent music, aud other anus
ing entertainments, while Mrs. Gray, Of st.
James parish, win at intervals delight the audi
ence with specimens Of her sxest aud highly
cultivated voice. On Sunday evening, July 2, |

ticpate. Monday evening Mrs. saltet give

Mrs. salter will exhibit her atiiE IN getting up

greatly assisted by Miss Mary Gastel, who win
sing some choice pieces. The last evening of
the Fair, Sunday. July 14th, another sacred
concert will be given under the immediate
direction of the talented Miss T. Cannon. The
amusements, besides the Fair proper, offered
every evening, should alone suffice to insure
q numerous attendance, not only from those of
Algiers, to the Fair, but also from those on
this side of the river. The trip to the Fair, by
the Canal and Third District ferries, which
will run all night, will be most pleasing,
whereas it enables one to inhale the fresh
breezes that are so abundant on our Father
Of the Waters" Among the many kind friends
in AIgiers who assist the Fathers in their ef-
forts to make the Fair q success, must be men
toned Mr.. Jerome Hanley, who has generously
J loaned his steamer, tho Hamilton, to bring the
students of the College to Algiers, and promised
f to bring them back to St. James by the same
, conveyance
= ST. TinceRt de Paul's Female School-We were
r previously aware that Father Foltier had erect
ed q magniticent church down in the Third
District, that his parish was becoming more
populous and influential but, we must own,
we did not expect suoh proficiency and versatile
ty from the young girls Of his parochial school
, as were manifested by them in their exhibition
which took place ON the 29th ult.. in the
school hall on Rampant street. We write it il
oil sincerity, that young girls of their age
(the eldest not exceeding fousteen) could NOT
have been expected to possess that distino
i articulation, that appropriateness of gesture
q and naturalness of delivery which character
ICED the rendition Of every piece set down in
/ the programme. They had the good sense ant
ability to lose themselves in their several char
acters and to throw off that constraint O.
speech and action which always evinces
: forced and dsagreeable pessonstion Ant
this is true, for the most part, Of all the exhi
il billions (rhat we have attended) conducted b.
/ the Marianite Sisters of the Holy Cross; fo
these ladies excel in the art Of elocuton. "Th'
: School for Daughters" q comedy in three acts
# was played with such ris consicd as to disarn
= = criticism. In this particularly excelled Misses
s A. Smith, M, Crouap. 0. Andrews and L. Ken
nedy. The intervals between the acts wers
passed in songs and recitations, each rejecting
l. the greatest credit upon the singer or reciter
: A little girl of three and half years caused
9 gceat merriment among the audience Will
G speaking "L'oreiller 5" but the duet, "a, b. G.
q was very far from being well sung. The piece
IS was too difficult for girls Of their age hence
the false notes and incorrect time. ''The Flow
. ere," beautiful and symbolical dialogue, wa
u sweetly played with the following distribution
