y Good Attendance Yesterday-HighIy Sat
isfactory Exhibits-The Prizes Awarded.
The attendance at the fair at Armory
hall last evening was very large indeed.
This hall, with the elegant booths in their
varied colors, and the red, white and blue
bunting that drapes the trestle work and
adorns the pillars that support the gallery,
lights up beautifully. 1t is by all odds the
grandest fair ever held in st. Paul, and on
the largest scale of magnifcence.
A wholly unreliable sheet yesterday
morning. for the purpose of injuring the
fair and curtailing its receipts thereof,
announced that it would not be open dur
ing the day, as the ladies had tired of
it and wonld not attend. The managers of
the fair desire to have this unjust an
nouncement corrected. The ladies are
not tired at all, but on the contrary are
more enthusiastic about the success of the
fair than any one else, and will be at the
post of duty all day to-day and to-mor-
row and during the evenings of both days,
and will do all they can to render the fair
pleasant to visitors and profitable for the
purposes for which it is held.
The fair will be open to day from IN
the afternoon till midnight. In the evening
the two Minneapolis companies will come
down in a special train, and return the
same way at the close of the fair.
Tomorrow, Saturday, the hall will be
open from 10 a. m. till midnight During
the day time it will be regarded as the
children's day when they will be received
and entertained.
Good music will be in attendance on
both nights, Saturday and Saturday night
being the great day.
