Prices anu the winners Thereof.
A gOOdly number of ladies and gentle
men visited Masonic Hall last night, and
considerable business was transacted, as
will be seen by the number of articles dis
posed Of. IL is expected that several Of the
most valuable articles will be disposed OF
tonight, among them the fine set Of flrni-
ture at the Orphan s. Table. There are
many lists to fill up, and tickets out, but it
is hoped that full reports will be made to
the superintendents Of the several tables as
early as possible tonight.
Several new contributions were sent in
yesterday: A doll from Miss Maggie Gro
nan, and barrel Of potatoes from James
p. Babb q Co., 70 the West Nashville

the Orphan Asylum, for which we return
thanks on behalf Of the Sisters.
Miss Maggie and Katie Byrne were
present last night, and worked well, also
Miss Hague.
Miss Alice Thompson graced the poll
box, receiving votes for the popular young
lady. Miss Alice ZanOne was at her pace
by the well, looking pretty, as usual, and
Miss Nora Ward angled for the treasures in
the fish-pond.
Mrs. Kean informs us that the voting for
the gold chain for the most popular man
was lively last night, and that Mr.. Martin
Kerrigan was in the lead.
Mrs. Wand says that DR.. Morton leads
DR.. Sheffield for the robe for the most popu-
lar Doctor. DR.. Hughes, we hear, declines
to run in the race. For the Conductors
