The Close Of the Fair-Rames. Etc.

The grand Masonic Bazaar and Fair, in
augurated on the 18th inst. under such fat
teriug auspices, was brought to a successful
and satisfactory close Saturday night, having
been continued three weeks. During this
period the Exhibition Ball has been, every
afternoon and night, thronged with liberal
patrons, and the entire period has been
characterized with the utmost good feeling
and pleasure. The noble ladies to whom
the success of the Fair is due are certainly
entitled to the highest credit, and
have the appreciatiVe and sincere
thanks Of the Masonic fraternity
for their valuable services. They
have been regularly at their posts, and their
zeal and perseverance has been unh2gging
from the start. We cannot say too much
in their praise, and for their sake, as they as
suredly viii be benefited by rest, we are
glad that the Fair hiss been brought to so
satisfactory, pleasant and successful sermi-
nation. There are, however, many who
would be pleased to have had it continue
longer, as the Exhibition Hall has been the
rendezvous nightly for hundreds who had
come to regard 1t as the most pleasant place
at which to spend an evening.
Saturday night there was great activity and
hustle observable everywhere, through the
determination to dispose Of as many arti-
cles as possible, and auction stalls
were erected IN different portions
Of the hall, and goods and articles were
sold for what they would bring. When

not many things left unsold.
