THE LATEST SWINDLE.

BOGUS CHARITY FAIR AND GIFT ENTERPRISE.
new swindle has been brought to the Knowl-
edge OF the police In the shape of bogus gift en-
terprise just started by one George p. Harper who
gives bis address as No. S3s Broadway. He pro-
poses to sell tickets at 81 each for grand charity
fair to be held at Irving Hail. January 26, 81 and 49,
for the benefit Of the poor OF New York, and at
which the Committee of Arrangements, In order to
make IL grand success, have concluded TO pre-
sent the purchasers of tickets gifts valued at
SITS, 2o7. Advertisements have been inserted in
the country papers calling attention to the scheme,
ana the names of the managing committee are
given rs follows Rev. L. p Hammond, Rev. SID.
ney T.. Chase, Hon. NJ. b.. Strong, Hon.
Mrs. Charles b. Fancher, Hon. Mrs. Val. Kings.
land, Miss Edith Gaylard. The Directory does
not contain the names OF any OF the parties. The
surnames, however, are those or well known per-
sons interested IN the charities Of this city, and
different initials have been used which would
easily deceive the public.
inquiry was made at No. 1913 Broadway, which
Harper gives as his address, and the place TO which
the money for tickets Is TO De forwarded and the
persons residing there stated positively that no
person by thaC name resided IN the house or
did business there. At the Post ONCE, station ID,
the SUPERINTENDENT has his name on the pro-
scriped list, and the manager OF Irving Hall stated
that no such fair was TO take place there at all
and that the hall had been hired for balls on the
dates referred to.
