Herald Leading in the Contest
For the Banner.
The excellent programme that was
announced for the evenings entertain
ment at the Orphans Fair doubtless had
something to do with the large attend
ance that was present at Armory Hall
last night. The booths seemed more at
tractive than ever, and business was
rushing, judging by the continued clink-
ing OF coins that could be heard as one
strolled by the well-patronized stands.
The exercises on the stage fully met
with all expectations, and the tableaux
were greatly admired by all OBJ
servers Miss Reeve looked won
drously pretty as the fair Evangeline,
and the effect was heightened by lime
lights burning at the sides. The vocali-
zation OF Messrs. j. Nuelle and John
Alton, was very creditable, and then
the audience found plenty to admire in
the tableau of The Broken Pitcher"
REPRESENTED by Miss Hopp. This young
lady looked very charming in costume
appropriate to the scene, and won hearty
applause from all over the room. Pro-
fessor Wilde's excellent piano playing
then passed away pleasant
quarter of an hour, after which
the first part Of the programme was
over. The second series was as
pleasant as the first, its principal fea-
lures being a tableau, "Faith, Hope
and Charity" represented by Miss
Reeve, Miss Happ aud Miss Matfeld,
and "The Fire Worshippers," enacted
by Messrs. A. j. Mesmer, II. G. Linn
brock and j. B. Dockweiler. Consider
| able interest was manifested in the vot-
ing, and toward the close of the evening
an auction sale was held near the stage,
at which hats, clocks, boxes of cigars and
other articles were disposed of for sums
that netted royal revenue for the treas-
ury. The contest was very keen as to the
leadership of the newspapers, the HERALD,
however, proving victorious and still
holding the banner of Victory. The fol-
lowing were the readings of the black
