Preparations.
The carpenters have been Of work In the
hall Of the House OF Delegates preparing It
for the Bazaar Of Nations TO be. held on the
evenings Of the Goth, 2lst and 22d inst,
under the auspices OF the Women's Union
Benevolent Society, and early next Monday
morning the ladies in the various booths
can, Il they desire, commence the work OF
decorating. All the booths have their
frame work erected, except the American
booth. That will occupy the space now
covered by the desks and platforms OF the
Speaker and clerks, which will have to be
used Saturday night on the occasion Of
Mira. Whittenmyers lecture for the benefit
Of The Grand Army Of the Republic. The
booths are arranged on q platform built
about eighteen inches above the floor and
extend all around the room. To the right,
as one enters the main door, Is Italy,
Switzerland, Ireland, England and Scot
land. This brings one TO the northeast
corner. Commencing there the booths
along the Fifteenth street side are France,
Germany, Gypsey encampment, America,
Indian wigwaIn, Judea and Russia. Then
following along the semi circular door to-
wards the main entrance the booths are
China and Japan, Turkey, Egypt and
Spain. Thisarrapgement leaves more space
for spectators and promenaders than was
expected, which OF Course 10 gratifying.
America will be opposite the main entrance
and will be much larger and higher
than the others. Ireland will be lower than
any Of the othera, and in place OF the

There was a largely attended meeting at
the State House yesterday OF the ladies
engaged in getting up the affair, and the
ISTELLIGIScER reporter who was present
managed to pick up the following pointers
about the arrangements Theonly entrance
open on the evenings OF the Bazaar will be
the main or Chapline street one. The BIZ
zlar proper will open at 1850 O'clock,
although the supper room, in tho Senate
chamber, will be open at q O'Clock and re
main open until Il. AT 7:S0 O'Clock every

every one Is at liberty to do what they
choose-eat, drink, promenade, listen
to the music, inspect booths, purchase what
may strike their fancy, and above all, re.
member that everything Is done for sweet
charity's sake.
The second night there will be a short
concert both vocal and instrumental.
Owing to the limited space, the broom
drill will have 10 be omitted. The third
night there will be grand march OF all
those in costume. These are but few OF
the special attractions thatwill be provided.
The Bazaar hall will in addition 10 the
three large chandeliers have three electric
lights. Cloak rooms will be provided
where, for small consideration wraps eau
be safely stored. In the Court Of Appeals
chamber, there will be light refreshment9
for sale and probably the flower booth will
be placed here, as positively there is not
room for it in the main hall. The floor
space left Is email enough now. Mayor
Miller will be the treasurer ofthe Btzaar.
The price fixed for supper ia so cent?,
and splendid supper 1t will be. The
price OF admie1ion was a eubject that
caused considerable discussion, and at
times, it is reported, 1t waxed warm. L
was finally decided to leave 1t to the W.
u. BIS. That body fixed it at % cents
for everybody and anybody, large and
small, and not a comp" to be Issued ex.

or reireshment tables, and they were not to
be allowed in Bazaar hall. Sill there Is
trouble. A few think that the Admission
should have been so cents. They seem to
have forgotten that this Is not an enter.

Joy lhemsslves-at the Bazaar they will be
expected 10 spend their lucre. Twenty
Eve cents Is high enough, but the rub
comes in here. Those who have gone TO
the expense Of procuring elegant costumes
and who will be on duty ftom $50 to II
O'Clock do not relish being obliged 10 put
down the fourth part ia dollar thesameas
common, every day, ordinary sort OF a
person who dresses as he plessel, goes
when he pleese5 and leaves when he
pleeses. It wa5suggested that season tick
cts be issued to all workers at thirty cent?,
and II they did not appc II 10 costume they
be obliged to pay twenty-five cents. The
suggestion, however, WEI not acted on.
Something further will probably be done
for the benefit OF workers. -.
To tell what the different booths will
have would be an impossib!lity. Many
valuable things will be shown, and the
Society will have insurance agents on hand
on the afternoon OF the Goth to insure the
contents OF all the booths.
