pOned.

The GIFT Concert of the Masonic Re-
lief Asso citation of Norfolk, POST
pOned.
Our readers will see from an adver-
tisement in another column that the
Grand Gift Concert, ghich was to have
been given by the Masonic Relief Asso'
citation of Norfolk, Va. on the Sd of
September, has been postponed until
Thursday, the 10th of November.
As the Directors remark in. their card,
there are many persons who desire aud
intend to invest in this enterprise, but
have been deferred from SO doing by the
belief that postponement would take
place, and they were unwilling to pur-
chase tickets until they felt assured that
day had been fixed when the drawing
would positively take place. In conse-
quence of this impression, the sale of
tickets-while largely in excess of the
number sold previous to the postpone
ment of the first Gift Concert given by
the Association-ha not been to such
an extent as to enable the Directors to
make satisfactory distribution of prizes
or to accomplish the object Of the Con-
cert proposed to be given. 1t is there
fore to the interest OF all concerned that
the drawing be deferred until the day
designated in the announcement; and we
doubt not that the action Of the Directors
will meet with the hearty approval OF
their patrons, and that the result will
prove satisfactory to all.
THE LAST GRASD GIFT CONCERT ID AID OF
THE MASONIC RELIEF ASSOCIATION
POSTPONED.
To the public:
In selecting the Sd of September as
the date upon which to have their last
Gift Concert, the Directors Of the Ma
sonic Relief Association were influenced
by the belief that there would be suffi
Gent length Of time between the puoli.
cation of the scheme and, the above
mentioned date to enable them to dis
pose of such a number OF tickets as
to insure full drawing and an avoid
ance of scaling the prizes. While the
enterprise has been literally patronized
by large number of purchasers Of
tickets in every section of the United
States and the British Provinces, yet the
impression seems 10 have prevailed with
many who were willing to aid in the
work of completing the Masonic Temple
in this city, by investing in this scheme,
that the Concert would be postponed
and as consequence they have declined
to purchase tickets until an announce.
ment should be made that a day had
been fixed upon when the drawing would
positively take place. The Directors,
being assured that their patrons will be
satisfied with the reasons actuating
them in making postponement, have
selected
THURSDAY, TIE 18th DAY OF NOVEMBER,
as the day to hold their Second Grand
Gift Concert and drawing, and they hope
that orders for tickets will be sent imme.
diately by all who desire to obtain one
or more OF the valuable cash prizes
which they offer. The public may be
confident that the same fairness and
honesty which characterized their first
drawing will be observed in this.
