The Catholic Fair which closed
on Thursday, had a successful run
and q pleasant and profitable ter
mina'ion. 1t was decided sue
cess and the lady managers deserve
great credit for their skill and ex-
cellent judgement displayed in get
ting it up and running it so sue
cessfully. We have not learned
the amount realized, but learn that
ii will give them q handsome sum.
Much interest was manifested on
the closing night in the contest for
articles voted off. Our friend, Mr..
Tim. Hooley, the popular clerk at
the Everett House, beat all his
competitors for the silver pitcher.
He run well, and would make a
good candidate for the Legislature.
The handsome gold watch was vo-
ted to Miss Mcdonald, and the
gold chain to Father Kelley. The
voting was carried on in spirited
manner, and all are satisfied with
the result.
The Fair, during its continuance,
had become quite pleasant even
ing resort for the young people of
the town, and none will regret its
close more than they.
