AT 10 the meeting adjourned.
Westminster Church Fair.
The fair given by the ladies of West
minister Presbyterian Church, in the par
lors of their church building, last night,
was a most delightful festival The rooms
had been entirely renovated, and were
beautifully decorated for the occasion. A
very large attendance crowded the parlors
during the evening, and in the booths were
displayed great variety of articles of
handiwork by the ladies of the church, in
Guiding handsome crochet shawls and
fascinators, dolls elegantly dressed and
beautiful assortment of articles for gentle
mems toilet and ladies' hondoir The booths
were very literally patroniZed during the
evening, and many OF the visitors seized
this occasion to purchase the Christmas
presents they intended to make. The
Japanese booth was in charge of Mrs.
Auerbach and Mrs. Williams, assisted by
other ladies. 1t was formed under a
colossal japanese umbrella, and decorated
with lace curtains. The Mission booth. in
charge of the girls of the Sunday-school,
was also very attractive. Its tables were
covered with articles made by the girls,
and which met with ready sale. Mrs
Shanklin, Mrs. Jennings, Miss Lynn and
Miss Foster were the fair vendors
in very elaborate and beautiful booth.
and sold to their many customers a wide
variety of elegant and useful articles, such
as goSsamer comforters, the handiwOrk of
Mrs. Slater and Mrs. Shanklin; life-sized
dolls, dressed in the hight of fashion; elab-
orately worked gentlemen's night-wear
tascinators for ladies' ETC. Mrs. Howe,
Miss Nixon, Miss Anderson and Miss Bar
Der presided in very handsomelyarranged
booth, draped with lace and festooned with
evergreens. They dispensed a fine line of
goods suitable for presents, and were very
literally patroniZed. The stationery booth |
was in charge of Miss n G. Miller, Miss |
Richardson, Miss Jennie Anderson, Miss |
Dora Davis and Miss Cannie Mason. Their |
tables were covered with fine assortment |
OF Christmas books, as well as an elegant |
line of stationery, and made rapid sales. |
Refreshments that were greatly relished |
were served in the rear parlor which had
been tastefully fitted and newly carpeted. |
During the evening the company was
RECALLED with a piano solo by Miss Ella |
Barber; a Observation-Disclosures Eve"-by |
Mrs. Risdon; and vocal solo by Mrs. |
Auerbach all of which were well received. |
If we may judge by the experience of the |
ladies last night, this will be one of the |
most successful fairs ever held here. All
expressed themselves entirely satisfied, and
as the fair will be continued this afternoon,
and also in the evening, when a fine pro-
gramme of entertainment will be offered,
we have no doubt that the suspicious
opening of last night will be supplemented
by thronged parlors and delighted visitors
this afternoon and evening.
IMPROVED FACILITIEs.-In answer to rep
reservations made by Postmaster Stephens,
in the interests of our merchants, concern
ing the receipt of mails from the San Joa-
quin valley-from Tulare to Lathrop-a
new service has been established by Mr..
Wilder Superintendent of Railway Mail
Service, so that letters coming from that
section will arrive here much more advan-
tageously. Heretofore. letters from all
points along that road have been picked ND
by the local train which left Tulare at 10 |
O'Clock A. NJ, and were carried to San Fran
cisco, coming up the next day, via Benicia, |
and arriving here at 11:30. Now the Sacra-
mento mail gathered between Tulare and |
Lathrop will be taken off at Lathrop, and |
come direct TO Sacramento, on the early |
morning train, via Stockton, arriving here |
at 8 \. NJ. This will enable merchants TO |
fill orders by the same forenoon train. |
whereas if they came by San Francisco. |
and did not arrive till haE-past II o'clock, |
they could not be billed by freight until |
the following day. This places Sacramento |
merchants on the same footing with San |
Francisco houses, in point of time, and |
when they have that facility they can al |
ways successfully cope with their BAY COM
petitors. This change effected by the Post |
master will be duly appreciated by all our |
business men, and is in the interest of Sac
ramento trade.

masquerade ball of the Ancient Order of |
Foresters will be given at Armory Hall |

termination is 10 spare neither time nor !
