The Ladies' Fair. for the benefit Of mo
Society Of Pacific coas, Pioneers. opened
in National Guard Hall last evening under
the NEST favorable auspices. At an early
hour the people began to make their ap-
pearance. both from Virginia and Gold
Hill. and by so'elock the hall was crowded.
Il did not take long for the spirit Of con-
seniality to make itself manifest among
the guests. for the words and looks Of the
ladies spread . cordial welcome upon every
side. Nor were the " Old Boys" wanting
in their attentions to the outside public.
They proceeded to throw themselves to the
full extent Of their we'll known ability. II
was . holiday for the ancient ones, and they
we're determined 10 make the most OF 10.
Never did the graybeards fy around In
better style than last evening. Never did
the silver locks OF the early corners appear
more venerable than when assisting In the
various little duties incident TO the sue
ce.sful conducting Of = lunch stand or
A flower table. Tho Pioneers. with their
wives and their IONS and daughters, made
a considerable part Of the audience. and
they were glAi Of II. but ell who came were
greeted with opcnhanded hospitality.
shortly after 8 o'clock tho Fair was for
mally opened by the reading Of the poem
written for the occasion by Hon. IL. N.
Daegett. aud which We herewith present {:
