THE STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL.

Last night closed one of the most pleasant
social affairs ever gotten up under the auspices
of the ladies of this city. The Festival was
a delightful one, but unfortunately it will not
prove great financial success, at least not so
great one was anticipated. This IS in
measure attributable to the dull times, and
also to the retired modesty of the ladies who
had the booths in charge, in not pressing Wis
itors to buy. While this may be all true, the
gentlemen who attended the festival are
truly grateful to the ladies for their
lenency. The Opera House was crowed last
night to it's fullest capacity by most select
audience to hear the Old Folks Concert, which
was the browning event of the festival. The
chorus music was superb, aud the ladies and
gentlemen who took part in it gave evidence
of having undergone severe training. The
comic features of the entertainment were Mrs,
Byrne as Mrs. Darlington, character which
she acted and dressed to perfection and COM
manded much merriment, and Mr.. Nat Dow,
as Ike, who is an excellent mimic, and if he
does not become an actor, the dramatic pro-
fession will lose star. The lateness of the
hour precludes the possibility of individualiz
ing the concert, but suffice it to say that 1t
was excellent from the beginning to the end

AMoNa the delegates attending the

pleasure of recognizing an old friend
who once lived in Memphis, Mr.. j.
Huff, Of Jacksonville, Fla. When
we first met him, in 1865, he was con-
nected with the postoffice under Col
onel Gist, then postmaster of Mem
phis. He was assisting at that time
in establishing the carrier system,
which has worked 50 well since. Af-
terward he took charge of the general
delivery department, and his immedi-
ate successor is yet in the position.
In September, 1867, he went to Florida
and has been there ever since. He is
a successful merchant of Jackson
vile fortune has smiled upon him
and time has dealt gently with him,
so he really looks better than when
he left here. He is a past president
of the order he is here to represent,
and is at present president of the
Hebrew Benevolent Association in
Jacksonville. The wheel of time
brings around some unexDected and
pleasant meetings Of people who never
expected to see each other again.
