THE CATHOLIC FAIR.
1T HAS BEEN A PRONOUNCED Sue.
CESS IN EVERY RESPECT.

In the kafiles as Successful Mt the
Polls.
The Catholic fair has closed, grand
success, and is another substantial ex-
ample of the social assimilation and
liberality of the residents Of the Pacific
coast mining towns. From the start
the programme was carried out to the
letter. The attendance was all that
could be hoped. There was no short bit
policy, as dollars were the circulating
medium, and everyone who attended
received full value in real enjoyment.
The ladies are pleased to have re-
ceived liberal recognition from resi-
dents of Bellevue and Bullion in their
attendance and contributions, as we'll
as from the merchants and residents
OF Haley, by contributions Of pre-
visions and groceries for the suppers,
and donations Of fancy goods.
The work was noblv done all
through-and the ladies who arranged
and conducted the fair and took an
active part in making fancy work and
other donations, and in conducting
the stands and arranging the supper,
are worthy Of the satisfactory results
attained. Thursday and Friday even
ings' gathering We're most enjoyable,
and in dancing every gentleman who
wished to participate was favored with
a lady partner.
Last Saturday night was the most
exciting of the three, and supper Of
soup, salad, game, oysters, cakes
and liquids, was served from Q until
II O'Clock, at only so cents head
but as the supplies were mostly con-
tributed and the cooking and serving
was done by the ladies, it netted
fair income. There was dancing dur
ing the evening, between voting and
raffles, and all went merr.ly. LII le-
porting the contributions mention
was through inadvertance omitted Of
valuable contribution from Mrs.
Charles Moore, of HALEY, which was
baby's christening robe in full flow
ing folds, very chastc, and Of the latest
style--ma(le Of linen lawn and en-
bossed with bouquets of flowers in
bold relief-all an9-worked. 1t was
too elegant to be sold, and has been
retained by the ladies' committees for
future disposal.

THE ELECTION.

of the evening, and the excitement
ran to fever heat. The ballots were
