Pastor of St. Patrick's, Father Allen, in the
choir of whose church they have, for a number

gramme on our fifth page.
STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL IN THE THIRD DISTRICT.
This entertainment, which has been in pro-
gress fer the past two weeks, has, We are
pleased to learn, met with fair share of popu-
lar patronage. The many difficulties which
the Rev. Pastor, Father Foltier, has had to sur
mount in his efforts to build up congregation
and to provide it with a suitable church, his
indefatigable zeal in the cause of rel gion, and
the financial troubles which still surround him
have won for him the sympathy of all the faith
fol, which makes itself not only in the Fair
room, but more particularly by donations out
side to the kind ladies who are working in his
behalf.
Tomorrow (Monday) the Fair will close, the
votes in the contests will be counted, lotteries
will be drawn, all articles unsold will be put
mp at auction, and there will be grand, jolly
time generally. At IL o'clock that night the
most exciting of all contests, that between Miss
Higgins, Of st. TbeTesa's parish, and Miss
Mackison, of st. Yincent's, will close. On
Sunday and Monday nights special cars will
run on the Dauphine line between 1 and 9
o'clock, for the accommodation of the uptown
visitors to the Fair.
Let all who wish to have pleasant time nd
at the came time help in the cause of charity
visit St. Vincent's Fair Sunday or Monday
night.
