Successful Conclusion of the Entertain
ment-The Record of the Voting.
The great fair of the military compa-
MES at Armory hall came to very success
full conclusion last evening, and ended in a
blaze of glory. The large hall was densely
packed all the evening, and the gay
rowd promenaded, chatted at the booths,,
firted, talked serious, purchased articles
voted at the stands, fished out of the
ponds, danced, listened to the splendid
music of Seibert's orchestra, after which
came the auction, when the remaining ar
ticles in the various booths, that had not
previously found purchasers were
disposed of by the public auc-
tioneer. 1t was, undoubtedly,
one of the most successful fairs ever held
in st. Paul. 1t was successful pecuniarily,
but of. course, it cannot be stated now
positively what the net receipts are. 1t is
certain, however, that they run up into the
thousands. 1t was success, and great
ono too in other respects. The booths
were elegant in design, tastefully deco
rated and filed with valuable and handsome
articles which were sold for reasonable
prices. Besides all these considerations
an air of gentility and decorum pervaded
the whole fair from beginning, which rem
dered it unusually agreeable and pleasant
1t will not be easy to duplicate this fair, in
all the elements that go to
make up an enjoyable oc-
casion. Everything but the weather was
propitious for the success of the fair but
that was bad, very bad. Still, in spite of
that, the ladies and gentlemen who had the
matter in hand, succeeded in making it a
grand success. There was nothing shoddy
about it, nothing cheap. Everything was
frst-class, reliable, and sensible, and the fair
will remain to all who attended it as a
pleasant memory.
