Last in the order which we have taken. INIT

we mention the fact that the largest and

The great interest Of the Fair, IN sever, will
centre on tho superb saddle, which is exhibited
on the 1ife-sized wooden horse in the centre of
the Hall. This saddle is certainly the most
beautiful and costly article of the kind in this
city, having been manufactured at o cost Of
$500 by Dir. John G. Darcy, Magazine street.
for this occasion. 1t is being
contested for by several of our most dis.
tinguished and influential citizens, who are
by their many friends. Each seems
to feel that his prestige is at stake, and we
would not be surprised if the number of votes
poled appropriated that at our last city cleo
ton. The candidates, whose names need but
to be mentioned to be known, are Messrs Jno.
Cook, p. O'Meailie, Thos. Quilter, Edward
keenan, and Thos. Anderson. The latter gentle.
man is the owner of some of the finest horses in
the country, and viii no doubt prove most for
mitabe competitor in this contest. Go in
with will, gentlemen; each one of you is
knight worthy of the prize, and let the most
liberal and energetic win, say we!
The Fair will continue through the week
and we feel satisfied that the object for which
it is held, that of completing the grandest
and most magnificent church in the South,
which will be the glory of our city and an
,onor to our church F.; no less than lively
sense of the open-handed generosity of the
people of St. Joseph's, manifested in every
charity, regardless Of parish limits, will cause
! nightly attendance of large crowds from diff.
rent parts of the city.
