FINISHING THE FAIR.
THIRTY THOUSAND PRESENT.
The Chances All Gone, and Some Valuables
Left-Net Proceeds $4,000.


Left-Net Proceeds $4,000.
The Fair for the benefit OF the ex-Con-
federate soldiers came to a close last night
at midnight. Three weeks ago last night
the Fair opened, with prospects that were
bright. and the interest in 1t never Jagged
from that time until the doors OF the
Armory closed last night at the midnight
hour. The success OF the enterprise has
been complete, surprising the most ardent
expectation. From the ticket agent it was
ascertained that about 10000 tickets had
been sold during the Fair, and from au-
thentic sources II was reported that
the net proceeds from the sale OF
tickets and other sources wouldb foot
up more than $4,000. There are still
q large number OF valuable articles left
over, but whether these will be raffled of
here or sent to some other fair for the
benefit OF the crippled Confederates has
not hepn as yet agreed upon by the COM
mittee. Ii is probable that the articles will
be sent away and not raflled. -
The ladies OF Richmond have done noble
work in the attempt to raise funds for the
purpose OF building home for the old
Coniederates. More than two decades ago
they did braver work in nursing and caring
for the gallant boys who wore the gray,
and who were fighting for the cause so dear
to southern hearts. The veterans feel their
hearts swell with pride at these recollec-
tions.
