THE FAIR.
Fourth Night of thee Great
Bazaar.
Many New and Valuable Articles
Displayed.
A Large Attendance---The Fair
Extended.

There was an unusually large and bril-
liant gathering at Library hall last night,
where the great Catholic bazaar has been
in progress for the past four nights. A
large number of our leading citizens we're
present, among whom were Bishop
Burke, Secretary Shannon, L. B. Hicks,
j. A, Martin, Democratic candidate for
sheriff, w. G. Lykins, Republican candi-
date for the same Office, Father Nugent
and many others. Dancing commenced
at an early hour and was kept up with
thirty minute intervals until the morn
ing hours arrived. The music was excel
lent, the dancers were happy, and trip
ped the light fantastic toe gaily and all
went merry. Supper was served as usual
and the tables were most literally patron.
lied by the large throng in attendance.
THE LEADERS special reporter took a
look around the hall and discovered
many elegant sights, and the various
stands and tables were literally covered
with beautiful and costly articles, many
Of which we're contributed by friends of
the Catholic church not connected with
that fourishing and exemplary organiza-
ton. Father Nugent kindly chaperoned
the reporter to an elegant table presided
over by Mrs. Judge Maginnis and Miss
Nugent, and the latter gave him a list of
the new articles which had been received
Yesterday. Among them were the follow
ing:
A case of beautiful cigarette holders
from "a Friend
An elegant toilet set, T. G.. Linton.
A handsome lamp, Mrs. Judge Ma
ginnis.
A beautiful clock, David Miller.
Large perfume bottle, DIR. Hunt.
Two pairs of handsome slippers, Ste
phen Bon.
A box of fine neckties, Geo. Truckey.
Pair of elegant gloves, Miss Mary NJ
gent.
There were other presents received yes
terday, but it was not possible to obtain a
complete list without putting the ladies in
charge to more trouble than ought to be
required of them. but the foregoing
named articles were among the most
prominent.
On entering the hall nearly every one
was confronted by some good looking
young lady or pretty miss and invited to
take a chance in a rattle for some nice
and useful article-the chances ranging
from ten cents up to twenty. five cents,
and of course a large number of them
were sold to the patrons of the fair, who
seemed in most cases to be anxious to in
vest in this way, for they in reality stood
a good chance of getting something quite
valuable in return for a very small outlay.
Among those who were conspicuous in
the matter of canvassing and whose efforts
were crowned with much success were
pretty Miss Gertrude Corey and the
equally pretty Miss Mamie Griffin, the
specially of the former being a beautiful
banner, while Miss Griffin was looking up
customers for flowers, etc.
A change in the programme was made
last night in regard to the fair and it was
decided that the bazaar should be con-
tinued and held open on Monday evening
next, the proceeds to be given to the
Ladies Relief Association. This is gen.
erous and commendable on the part of the
managers of the fair, and while it will no
doubt be most literally patronized on the
night alluded to it should, and no doubt
will, be largely attended tonight and to-
morrow night also.
The net receipts last night we're over
$500.
One of the most exciti ng features of the |
fair is the voting for the sofa cushion to
be presented to the most popular bache-
lor. There are three Richmonds in the
field, Messrs. Shea. Greentree and Jno.
E. Wild. The voting last evening was
pretty close. The voting will close on
Saturday night. In the drawing for the
