The West Church Presbyterian fair
opened in the auditorium OF the Opsra
tiJuss last evening. Although tf'5a
weather was very disagresable the at-
tendance was large, and tde receipts
encouraging. In fact the receipts from
the restaurant alone were far beyond
tue expectations of the attendants. The
hall has been h snasomsly and tastily
decorated. The booths in which the
articles are displayed for sale, have
been gotten up with taste and reflect
upon the Committee on Decoration.
They have been handsomely papered
and hung with dCapery, which gives
the whole afAir 40 inviting appearance.
The articles which We're exposed for
sale have been placed at very reason-
able prices, and 10 those con ontemplatine

tables for the sale Of fancy and useful
articles, besides the confectionery and
restaurant table.
