 BENEFIT OF THE CHURCHES.
 THE FAIR.-It is perhaps enough to say of the Fair given by the Ladies' Union Asso-
 ciatlon for the joint benefit of the M. E.. Church and the NJ. E. Church south, that so far as it has progressed it is a perfect success in every particular. As e matter of primary interest we begin by saying that the receipts of last evening, from all sources, aproximated $500, which as an item by itself, is quite interesting. On entering the
 ity Hall from Mccormick street, the spec tator was amazed at the elaborated decora- tion of the Hall to begin with, and as soon as he recovered from this surprise he was as much astonished to find various booths and stands hung around with lace curtains, and trimmed of more like ladies' boudoir than an arcade. The first opportunity for invest ment on the right of the entrance was the establishment of Mrs. J. l.. Fisher who handed out the cigars and took in the change as naturally as If she had been brought up to the business. Passing little 1 farther down the room. he halts at the door | of the "Old New England Kitchen, presided over by those two fine old Yankee women Mrs. Judge Cartier as Mrs. Slocum, dressed | in character, and Mrs. Judge Rush, evidently | a neighbor who had dropped into have chat. | Itwas goodly sight to see these two Sciohs of puritanical ancestry presiding over the traditional Kitchen of their grand mothers. | Still farther along we come to the Post Office presided over by that federal official Mrs c. W. Beach, with Mrs. F. W. Blake, as Special agent of the department. Passing on around the Stage we come next to Variety | stand where Mrs. Page, Mrs. Saunders, and Mrs. Hall deal ont apples, candies, etc. and took Subscriptions to the raffle for the beau tiful doll that stood upon the counter and seemed to be taking as much interest in the fair as the rest of the people. Returning in the direction of the front door one isdazzled by the elaborate display of fine goods at the Fancy Store kept by Misses Josephine Rice and Mitchell. This is a popular establishment and sells great many fine goods at low prices. Still nearer the front door Mrs. B. H. Weaver and erassist- ant Miss. Francis Shivers fed the hungry with regular substantial meal with desert of cake, candy, etc. We are now back where We started at the front door facing the stage and ready to pass down the middle of the hall. Miss. Carrie Wilkens comes with grab bag, which only costs two bits to take a chance, Daws catches you for chance in ring cake, you finally fetch up and are drowned in lem onade at the we'll where Mrs. Victoria Behan IS Rebecca. and her maid Miss Anna Kethro, are kept as busy as two little honey bees waiting upon those who call again and again to drink at the well. Miss. Amelia Rush, IS per announcement, sang Little Barefoot with excellent effect and received hearty applause. TT ring in the cake was drawn by Miss Kethro. The Doll will be raffed ior this evening.
