Westminster Fair,

The fair of the ladies of Westminster
Presbyterian Church continues to attract
large numbers. Not less than $50 persons
were served yesterday noon at the chicken
dinner and the unanimous verdict was
that the ladies had furnished q most excel
lent and satisfying meal. In the evening
the booths were crowded with purchasers,
and the sales footed up a very gratifying
total. A large accession of attractive ar
ticles was made to the exhibits, and many
persons found them so suitable for presents
and so reasonable in price that they pur-
chased literally for their stock of holiday
gifts. As this will be the last day of the
fair, the ladies will try to make it the most
attractive and interesting. The dinner
from II A. NJ. till P. M.-will be regular
family repast, the substantial central dishes
to consist of roast meats of all kinds. In
the evening there is promise of musical
advertisement, as well as a grand finale
auction sale of all the goods left unsold.

town saloon to dispose of two small cases,
one of which contained physicians Their
mometer. and the other a hypodermic
syringe and bottle of morphia. The man,
failing to make a sale, wrapped the two
cases in piece of paper, and managed to
throw them into the street, and of course
when he arrived at the station-house the
property could not be found. Yesterday
forenoon Louis Nicolaus' hunting dog
picked up package in the street and took
it to his master who found it to contain the
articles that had been offered for sale. They
were turned over to the police. Soon after

Lost His Watch.

The traveller at night must look sharp as
he passes dark alleys and large shade trees,
for the garroter is abroad in the city, and
the unwary are liable to be stood up and
despoiled of their valuables. On Tuesday
evening. about 10 o'clock, as Thomas G..
Carroll was walking up G street, between
Ninth and Tenth, in the immediate vicin-
ity of his residence, two hard-looking cases
sprang from behind some trees that grow
ON the outer edge of the walk. One seized
Carroll around the waist, while the other
grabbed his watch chain and snatched
his watch from his pocket. The chain was
broken, leaving portion in his vest. Car
roll, being young and athletic, got away
from his assailants and ran. He describes
them as being tough-looking pair of Gus
toners, rather short, and wearing dark suits
and SLOUGH hats.

The Museum Association Award.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Referring to a COM
munication in your issue of yesterday re-
lative to the awarding of medals for meri-
torious work by pupils of the Art School,
permit me TO say that it is so written as to
reflect on a particular pupil, who certainly
has tried to teach but only in order to
make her way clear while studying. This
pupil has not studied for "a years and years,
as your correspondent states. What knowl-
edge she had of drawing was very little,
she having only made q few simple draw
ings from studies before the School of De
sign opened. As the instructors did not
require any special drawings to be made
for the medals, think the pupils should
all share alike; and as the Directors pre-
pose to leave the whole matter of awards
entirely with the judges, l hope they will
be made fairly, and the pupil or pupils
who try to teach will be perfectly satisfied
with their decision.
