A "Globe" Reporter Finds 1t Thing OF
beauty and a JOY Forever.
The Union Catholic fair in progress at
Market hall is a magnificent artistic and
financial success. Last evening the spacious
hall was densely crowded with visitors and
more brilliant scene of light, laughter and
color it would be difficult to imagine.
It is not difficult to understand why enter
tainments SO admirably conducted as this
achieve go great success. Here, as on
every other landable occasion in life, the
ladies, God bless them, are the animating,
all permeatlng and successful spirits.
On entering the hall last evening the
modest and unsophisticated reporter for the
GLOBE was at once collared by bevy of
charming girls, and straightway came the
salutation, "this gentleman is going to put
his name down." ''now mister, only one
chance; take chance, please do" To not
take chance under such circumstances,
with the inducement of bright smile
thrown in from the prettiest of eyes and
dimpled cheeks, man must either be a
brute or q blarsted Hottentot. So the poor
victim, with washbill and Saturday
night board bill in arrears, staring him like q
spectre in the face, feels for his last coin
and passes it over with the nonchalancs and
perfect grace of millionaire.
Among the noticeable articles observed
last evening was handsome lady's gold
watch, on which chances are sold for TWEEN
ty five cents; the highest number will be
thrown of tonight. Considerable interest
is manifested over the voting for bronze

gan and Phillip Grathwoll. Considerable fur
is had over the electric battery tub, hall
filed with water, and into which half dol
lar is thrown, premium being given to tht
one who takes it out.
The music is most excellent, being fur
nished by Prof. Seibert's full orchestra
which will be in attendance. The refresh
ment department is perfect, being retrea
from the crowd, where we may find all the
delicacies OF the season. The best of Ordel
