The arrangements are about COM
pleted for the Catholic fair to be held
in Haley Theater on November 2, 3,
and 4. In addition to the programme
published previously in the TINES, the
following committees and plans have
been arranged:
The officers are Mrs. +. Ganahl,
President, and Mrs. Murray, Secre-
tary and Treasurer. Supper will be
served each evening in the Theater,
between the hours of 10 and o'clock.
The bill of fare will comprise every
luxury, as well as substantial viands
calculated to strengthen and please
the most fastidious appetite. Mrs.
Moore, Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. keown,
will attend the supper tables. There
will be an extensive candy booth,
decorated with golden harps, cornu-
copias, sugar babies, etc and bushels
of sugar-plums, chewing gum and
other choice varities, in charge Of
Mrs. DR.. Murray, Mrs. c. Il. Fox, and
Mrs. Milton Pinney.
The fancy table will contain so
many curious articles Of ornament and
use that description will be impos-
sible. 1t could not be invoiced as
articles made from French papers,
lambs wool, wood, stone, base metals
and gold will adorn this department,
and only very intelligent statesmen
could possibly establish sufficiently
high prices upon such a choice stock
as to insure profit. Mrs. f. Ganahl,
Mrs L. p. Walker, Mrs. G. NJ. Par
sons, ami Mrs. Howard Gray have &C.
cepted charge of this department.
The lemonade well, presided over
by Miss Mollie Keown, assisted by
Miss Lizzie Clarity, will be well pat
ronized and profitable department,
as everybody is expected to be at
tackled with burning thirst during
the fair, and every gentleman will Of
course escort his partner to the we'll
before dancing, during the dances,
!. and after them.
A postoffice will be established in
the building, where everyone is ca
pected to have their letters addressed,
and it is predicted that the number of
letters which will be bulletined as ad-
vertised at that Office, to be called for,
will equal the advertised lists of Lon
don and Paris. Many citizens will
find themselves corresponding with
parties unknown to them, while the
young gentlemen may expect to re-
ceive many gentle missives from
blushing damsels they never before
ventured to expect line from. The
postoffice will be ably managed by
Miss Rose McNamee and Miss Katie
Clarity, and the order must be OBJ
served that no flirting be INDUCED in
with the postmistresses. No one but
the TINES man is to be admitted in
side the office-which is the rule of
the P. o. D.
Dancing will be the order of each
evening, and partners will be plenty.
No lady is expected to feel weary, but
to dance as long as the fair continues.
No programmes allowed; anyone
caught engaging ahead will be fined
s5O-for the benefit of the fair. The
committee on dancing is Miss Lille
Moore and Miss Susie McNamee.
The fsh-pond was fully described
, in previous issue. Miss Amelia An
derson and Miss Maggie Furey will
be the Mermaids, and hook on the
fish. The bait must be put on before
the line is thrown in, and the biggest
bait will catch the largest fish. A
little one can be caught for bit,
and for $40 whale can be secured.
, Ribbons must be secured of the
committee at 80 cents each, before
, going On the floor to dance. The
} floor managers are Professor Sam.
