and the streets muddy, as result of the
days downpour, the attendance at the
Orphans Fair last night outnumbered
that of the preceding evening. During
the day the booths had all had the fin

suit was that the scene presented was
great improvement on the opening night.
The flower booth was fitted up and pre-
sented charming sylvan retreat, and at
one end of the hall postoffice invited all
to come and see if "the letter that never
came" had by any chance been heard
from. The excursion to Paris opened
its wonders for the first time, and
the fair ladies in charge were kept busy
attending to the throng that poured
in and out in an incessant stream. The
Gypsy booth which has had it's decora-
rug, did big business, and Mrs. Ke.
nealy was quite laden down with half
dollars when the evening closed. The
