Sale and TO be Voted and Glanced or
Last evening the fair under the auspices
OF ct. Anthony's Catholic church began IN
Excelsior hall, East King street, and con-
sidering that it was the first night, and
that as yet Father Kaul and his indefati-
gable corps Of assistants had not fully
succeeded in arranging the display to the
best advantage, the opening was entirely
satisfactory, and the attendance may be
expected to grow with each successive
night during the continuance of the enter
prise. The large and cheerful room pre-
sents quite an attractive appearance. The
tables are all nicely arranged and e!ab-
orately ornamented with fancy articles and
many things Of real use. The walls are
hung with pictures and portraits that lend
an additional charm to this spectacle,
| while everywhere are the evidences OF
good taste always apparent in the enter
prises OF st. Anthouy's congregation

| cOuntered is the confectionery, in charge

Next adjoining is the lunch department,
where the visitor is sure of . good sub
stantial meal at tho low price Of fifty
cents, or for quarter and fifteen cents
respectively less elaborate lunches are set
out. Last night turkey supper was
served, and it is needless to say the great
American fowl was done to tho most de-
licious brown, that his flesh was rich,
juicy and tender, and that the side dishes
and condiments wero enough to tempt the
appetite of an epicure. Mrs. Mary Grove
