closed on Saturday night, and the usual large
crowd was present. The success of the fair
has been unprecedented in the history of like
bazars in this city, and the popularity of the
corps has been substantially attested by the
citizens Of Washington. The fair will close on
Thursday night, and it is probable that as
much money will be received on the last four
nights as was received during the past two
weeks. Very largo sums of money will be
deposited in the secret balloting, the articles
to be voted for are very numerous and the
contestants determined. A great many
estimates have been made as to the probable
amount of money which will be turned into
the corps treasury after all the expenses Of
the fair have been paid, some of the mathema-
ticians placing tho sum rs high as $4,000.
Fairs are deceptive things, however, and
basing an estimate upon the claims Of the
numerous candidates In the voting and the
receipts at the booths and tables 1t is probable
that the amount cleared will be between
$4,000 and $4,000. The voting on the diff
ferent articles will close as follows:

lice badge, silver pitcher for lieutenant dress
