THE INFANTRY FAIR.
All the Preparations for its Opening at the
Skating Rink Tonight Completed.
Nesnes OF the Fair Ladies who win Assist
at the Various Tables

ne opened tonight at tine SKaJlng rlnk' OH
New York avenue. The remarkable success
which has thus far attended IL in the matter
of donations promises to be continued in their
disposal, and in every detail it will doubtless
be the greatest bazar ever held south of New
York. The esteem in which the Infantry is
held is not confined to Washington alone, as
tokens of regard in the shape of valu-
able contributions have been received
from every portion of the country
and they still continue to come in. On
Saturday evening the Adams Express COM
pany, through its agent, Mr.. George w. Moss,
sent Col. Moore check for 5000, and the
wagonsof the same company left numerous
articles at the rink The building has been
beautifully decorated, and Mr.. Poindexter,
the architect, has taken wise precautions to
arrange the booths in such manner that the
immense crowds of visitors will not blockade
the floor as badly as at other fairs.
The Light Infantry, with full ranks and
headed by the Marine band, will leave the ar
mory at 4:30 o'clock, and parade up Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and by way of Fifteenth
street to tho residence of Commissioner Ed
monds, where marching salute will be given
to the district commissioners.
At o'clock Hon. George 9. Gorham will
delivera short address to tho Light Infantry
and their friends at the rink, and tho fair
will be declared formally opened. 1t will
open each evening at o'clock, closing at 1880
PM.

the Union Veteran corps the National Rifles,
