ed most interesting scene. Many were

These are all be departments, with their

displayed.
The donations have been lavish beyond
expectation. Our reporter was informed
by the managers that not only the Jews il
the city, but the community generally and
parties outside the city had contributed
with a free hand. There are individuals
in the city who have given singly as much
as SlOO worth Of presents. II was said at
the hall last night that Cherry, O'COnnOr
Il Co. had promised to send up twO-hOrse
wagon load of things, though it was not
known whether it would be cOnvicts or
cOnvicts' handiwork.
Owing to the incomplete state of the
preparations, only small proportion of the
articles were placed in the hall yesterday;
yet there were on exhibition many artistic,
costly and curious contributions. Among
them there are a few that we cannot avoid
mentioning even before the opening. Re
becca at the well, picture in embroidery,
by Mrs. ii. JacObus. which, at a distance
of a few feet, might be taken for an oil
painting, does great credit to the lady's in
genuity. A hanging basket, made of raisin
stems dipped in wax and resembling
coral, the work Of Miss l.. Cohen, Is an
other attraction. A shaded lOg-cabin
merino quilt, made by Miss Eva Iser, strikes
the eye as one of the prettieSt and richest
things in the hail. This hardly surpdsseS,
however, diminutiSe lOg-cabiD quilt of
silk, made by Mrs. SpitZ, and belonging to
the same table, No. 4. At table No. 8 is
a boys military dress suit, with epaulettes
and chevrous Of gold, contributed by ).
Powers & Son, and beautiful boys over
coat from the Tom Thumb clothing-store. |
