The orphans, Falr-one Night More

The Orphans Fair-One Night More,
A genuine old-fashioned crowd filed
Masonic Hall last night, causing the ladies
to rejoice with exceeding great joy, their
| eyes brilliant as diamonds, their cheeks
aglow, and their tongues-bless them, what
shall we say of their tongues-we have it,
"the music of their voices fell upon the
car like the chorus of angels" o, what a
busy time was there from h~alfpast s until
II O'Clock. How the poor ladies bore up
so well, we cannot account for, except that
the holiness of the cause gave them a super
natural strength.
As will be seen below, their friends pat
ronized them literally, and enabled them
to fill up many Of their lists. Now, the
ladies ask for one more chance-one more
day-to wind up their business. Another
night such as the last will secure the pray
ers and praises of these good ladies for a
whole year. Therefore, in order to give
them this one more chance, the Fair will
remain open tonight, and then positively
close.
The poll for the most popular railroad
man will close precisely at II o'clock to-
night.
We omitted to notice two other little
ladies, who have done good service during
the fair, and conducted themselves with
great propriety, viz: Nelly Haley and Ham
nah Hussey. Miss Mary Dwyer has rem
dered good assistance TO the South Nash
vile table by her services and donation;
and thanks are rendered Mrs. Thos. Far
rell for a liberal donation.
Mesdames Barry and Prendergast have
received a donation of candy from Mr..
Fuleher.
Mrs. Mccormack returns thanks to Mrs.
James Simmons, Mrs. Thomas Pagan and
Mr.. Lishey for liberal donations.
Mrs. Dolin again thanks Mrs. Harry
Woods for valuable assistance to the Edge
field Table, and also Mr.. John Flanagan,
for a pretty donation.
Mrs. Zanone and the Misses Hyerone-
mus return thanks to Messrs. Sam. Black
and James Pentecost for gratuitous use of
their backs on several occasions.
Mesdames Winstead, Collins and Burns
tender thanks to Mr.. A. Riva, who sent a
currency donation to them through Squire
Walsh.
The officers and members of the Associa-
tion return thanks, etc. to G. n. Fogg, Jr.,
Thos. Caldwell, and a. V. S. Lindsey,
officers of the different lines of street rail-
roads, for allowing the display cards of the
Fair upon their cars free Of charge.
Again we ask all friends of the orphans
to be al the hall early tonight.
The hall will also be open at halfpast
two this afternoon, when ladies will be ad-
United free of charge.
