Hospital Fair.
NINTH DAY.

Yesterday the attendance at the mans was
undiminshed. Expressions OF regret were
heard on all sides that the FAR which mas seeh
such splendid success, must now De Drought
to n close. The committee have already yielded
70 tbe nopular demand and will continue the
Fair one day longer than originally contem-
plated Last evening hundreds who were pres
ent at the opening visited the hall in order to
fl more deeply upon their memories the most
beautiful exhibition ever vouchsafed to the citi-
zens of Portland
In every department the Fair has been
grand success. This is unquestionably due to
the sagacious manner in which the whole man
agement has been conducted. The Executive
Committee consists of some of the ablest and
most successful business men of our city, Cen
tlemen who have had large experience in bust
ness enterprises, involving vast interests 1t
was in the hands of these gentlemen that the
responsibility of raising $4,000 to complete the
Maine State General Hospital was intrusted.
They gave to this work the same energy,
thought and personal attention they had been
accustomed to devote to their own private bust
ness. The whole management of the Fair has
peeu CoHouCtcu upon tue SlTlCueSt business
principles, and just here lies the secret of its
success. The thanks of the whole State are
due to these gentlemen for the assured compile
ton of the States noblest charity.
