CITY AND DISTRICT.
THE LIGHT INFANTRY FAIR.


Everything Points 60 a Great Success.
PULL AND CORRECTED LIST OF CONTRIBUTIONS TO
pATE-DoSATIoNS FROM ALL OTKR TIM COUNTRY.
Probably never before in the history Of such
Undertakings have the citizens Of any place put
their shoulders to the wheel with more unanm-
ity and vigor than those Of Washington for the
coming fair and bazaar of the Washington Light
Infantry Corps. Each individual and business
firm seems to be in generous rivalry with all the
rest in responding handsomely to the appeals Of
this popular corps for aid in securing perma-
nent armory and grand hall. The movement
has also spread over nearly the whole country,
TO every city the Light Infantry has passed
through and TO many Others, proving that this
'crack' organization and its popular COM
mander have made innumerable friends and no
enemies by their manly, soidierly and honorable
course OF conduct during past years. COntribu-
lions In mon ey and valuable articles Of all kinds
are still pouring in from every quarter, and the
large building in which the fair is to be held
will probably be taxed to its utmost capacity to
contain the offerings so cheerfully and lavishly
made. A careful estimate of those thus far In
hand puts the value at over twenty-five thou
sand dollars, with number of back counties"
get to hear from. The sum to be realized from
the fair. therefore, promises to be something
extraordinary
