THE ENTERTAINMENT TO-MORROW

The heroes who have fallen in a noble
cause the glorious dead Of the fourteenth Of
September, must not be forgotten. 1t is the
duty of their fellow-citzens to give an out
ward testimony of their reverence towards
these martyrs of liberty, and thence has
arisen the idea of building monument to
their memory on the battlefield which they
have immOrtalzed,
For this purpose Col. Chas. f. Fenner's
Crescent City Battalion have organized an
entertainment, to be given at the Fair
Grounds tomorrow, to consist of a mule race,
a trotting race and last, but not least, q full
dress parade by the battalion. The proceeds
of the entertainment will be for the joint
benefit Of the battalion and the fourteenth OF
September monument fund. All arrange
ments have been made to render the affair a
success, and the popularity Of the gentlemen
composing the battalion Is by itself an as
s,rance that the Fair Grounds will be crowded,
whilst their sayOr fare insures that every
thing will be done secundum ortem.
