Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1874-04-12
rhe Fair.

The crowd at Masonic Hall last night
was very great, and every lady in the hall
appeared well pleased with her success.
But Notwithstanding the large number of
people, and their generosity, the ladies
have still a large stock on hand, which
must be disposed of, and therefore it will
be necessary to continue the Fair two
DAYS longer TO make up for the bad weather
during the past week. If the friends of
the orphans and the friends of the ladies
will attend Monday and Tuesday as they
did on Friday and Saturday, the Fair can
be wound up easily In two nights. and the
ladies' will be relieved from a wonderful
amount of trouble and anxiety.
Persons abroad might easily imagine,
from what they have read in our columns,
that burs are a generous people, but still
the donations o in, as will be seen be-
low.
Among the ladies who have been assist
ing at the Fair during the week theae are
several whom we have failed to mention,
from inadvertance on u part, viz, Mrs.
| Caspara, who was a efficient worker at the
first Fair before the present 81. Mary's Asy-
lum was purchased; Miss Alice Minchin. a
winning young lady; and Miss SallIe
| Davis. We are rejoiced to see that Miss
Teresa Burke has recovered sufficiently 10
be present last night.
During the week, a number of little la
dies have contributed materially towards
| the success Of the Fair. Among them, the
orphans will remember in their prayers
Misses Jennie Burge, Jennie Mccormack,
Annie Dolin, Lizzie Pagan, Maria Kinny,
| Mary Mckee, Florence Asa, De Nilsson,
Kitty Davis, Mamie Adams, Katy DOnO-
van. and Mary Leckey. Persevere, dear
little ladies, in good works, and God will
reward you.
A notable feature of the Fair every night
has been the excellent music of St. JOseph's
Total Abstinence Society Band, who give
their services gratuitously, and play with a
feeling corresponding with the holiness Of
the ans they are working for.
Another feature of the Fair, and one
worthy of note, is the name SUNDAY
| School, over that table, burning brightly
from innumerable jets, the handiwork OF
our young townsmen, Messrs. Shea &Ryan,
plumbers and gas filters.
The ladies Of the South Nashville table
| return thanks TO Mr.. John Dillon, for a
| generous donation of a beautiful flower
stand, a pair Cf Shes, a trunk and a fancy
box. Mrs. Mccormack acknowledges a
generous contribution from Mr. Tr1vis
WinhaIn, of the UNION AND AMERICAN
not the first, by a long way, which this gan
! tleman has given for the orphans.
The Sunday School ladies received, with
grateful thanks, half a dozen plants from
Mrs. Beauman, and a child's dress, very
handsome, from Mrs. George Wright. Mrs.
Zanone and the Misses Hyeronemus re-
| turn thanks to MeSsrs. Nilsson * Walsh
for a dozen of fine wine, and Mesdames
Winstead, Collins and Burns thank Maj.
sam DonelsOn for a liberal donation re-
ceived through Miss E. Brennan.
The voting for the most popular candi-
date and for the most popular railroad man
continues, and we hear quite a number OF
votes were received.
The piano is attracting much attention,
and contributes considerably to theinterest
of the Fair. MessrS. Sheet and Conner
play ''excellently well" and always draw a
crowd of listeners.
General regret is felt because of the alb
sence of Mrs. VESSEL, who is detained in
Louisville in consequence of her child's
illness.
