The grand Fair to raise money to erect a SOL
der's monument, closed on Saturday, at half past
eleven o'clock in the evening. the crowded audi
ences keeping up to the last evening 1t was the
most successful fair ever held IN the city; people
spent their money with . prodgality worthy the
cause calling it out; all worked tremendously for
the grand result which has been accomplished
and the aggregate amount o money raised (which
shall be able to announce morrow is in
every way satisfactory. The performances on the
stage, Saturday evening, were fully up TO the
previous evenings. The new Augusta Band again
appeared, and surprised everybody with the
knowledge that we have excellent a band in
our midst. The boar performances of Rowse and
swan will bear good deal of praise; the farce
went of more slbly If possible than on the pre-
vious evening; and Hsnagan's orchestra charmed
the people with their delightful music. All the
tables were cleared Of their contents. every thing
selling advsntageoutly, and for the interests of
the fair fund. The sum Of Sl25.15 was raised on
the Dictionary, which finally tell to Capt. Lay of
the Conner Cadets The silver water service was
voted to DIR. Crooker, and the barrel of -four to
Mrs. Scoles. An elegant silver picket ar was
presented to Mr.. +. McMurdie, stage manager,
who had contributed so much to the success of the
entertainment. He was ably assisted in this work
by Mr.. George Dawes. We judge that the net
proceeds of thi, Fair will not vary much from two
thousand dollars.
