Ladies' Fair-CIOsing Night.

The ladies found 1t Impossible TO close
their business last night, and will therefore
continue it again tonight, this being posi-
lively the the last night. Persons having
lists out will please hand them in to the
heads of the various tables as early as posi-
BILE, in order to facilitate the making out the
books.
The attendance last night was large, and
tn hours from S o'clock until midnight
flew by rapidly, and OF course pleasantly.
If it we're lot for the fact that the ladies are
well nigh exhausted, we would be glad to
see the Fair continue on few nights long
er, but one days rest before the tsll is abb
sOlutely necessary, and therefore the bust
ness must close to night. We urge all to
60 early and help the wind-up of the Or
pBsn's Fair for 1873.
A word about the little ladies connected
with the fair will not be out Of place, and
certainly none are more deserving of praise
than are our Annie Dolin and Jennie Nc
Cormack lively and lovely, with spark
ling eyes and sprightly ste S, they have
worked untiringly. And then the little
gentlemen merit cOmmendation-the
younger McCormacks, Masters Miles Bud
deke and Morton Berge; clever and polite,
they gave their services cheerfully to the
ladies during the week, and right well did
they perform the duties assigned them.
Miss Mary Meyer filled Rebecca's chair
last night gracefully, and proitably for the
orphans. Our charming Postmistress and
assistants were present, attractive as ever;
but fortunately Jerry was absent--his
heavy Monday mails, together with the
extraordinary labors of the past week, were
too much for him. Please God, be will be
all right tonight.
The handsome, good nstured gentleman
who keeps the shooting gallery at the Hall,
and saddle and harness shop on College
street,-is perfectly satisfied with bis friends
and himself; be says they are on the best
possible terms, and hopes to meet them all
again tonight.
The cry is, "still they comew Yesterday
Messrs. Phillips, Buttorff 81 Co., Atwood &
Greenfield, and Mr.. Hicks, sent in coGtri-
but ons to the Orphans Table.
The Annual Ball will be given on Thurs
day night, at the school house on Vine
street. All who attended the Fair will be
able to Judge Of the character the ball-it
will 10 doubt be one of the best ever given
in this city. The hall is decidedly the best
in the city, with a spacious supper and re-
freshment room under the same roof.
Mrs. Mccormack and Mrs. Ryan desire
lis TO return thanks to Mrs. James Sim
mons and W. Matt Brown for liberal dona-
tions.
