are arranged in convenient and commanding
positions. As you enter the main floor, at
the left is the married ladies' booth, presided
over by Mesdames McDermott, Moloney,
Vogt, Hobert, Hughes, and Young. Under
their supervision are The Old Woman who
lived in shoe, and had so many children
that she didn't know what to do" a splendid
mahogany secretary, and bric.a-brac in great
profusion, on which several dozen-yCu
would think so if they all got at you at once
cheerfully sell chances, at so much chance.
At the end Of the hall is the country booth,
over which Mesdames Dwyer and Heating,
and Miss Calvin keep watch in the beaming
rays or. 1.-THE electric light. Its tenements,
herediments and belongings, consist of hay
carrier, a road cart, an elegant silver service,
splendid marble top table and more bric-a-
brac. This stronghold is closely guarded,
and zealously, too, by myriads Of chance sci.
lers.
Last, we placed the married ladies' booth
first on the strength Of the old adage, "age
before beauty" NOW We have got both feet
in it, IS the young ladies' booth. Misses
Graham, Montgomery, Leonard, Mckinley
and Bailey, are rulers here. They command
a horse, an elegant antique oak bedroom
suite, and whole host of articles too pretty
to pass by unnoticed
The receipts at the door TOR the past five
evenings, have exceeded the amount for the
same time last year, by nearly one half, and
as it has another week to run, the prospects
are very bright.

pears to possess the physical and facial devel-
opment of man above the average in size,
but with space of but few feet intervening
he is found to be small and slight, though
compact of figure, with face whose express
sion tells all the mans ambitions, hopes and
suffcrngs. No man, unless like him, once
down in the depths-aye, almost within the
shadow of drunkard's grave, can or ever
will wear that expression. 1t is one of COM
passion, solicitation and brotherhood. 1t is
the face of a man who would step from an
emperor's carriage, throw aside the velvet
covering, and stoop down to the gutter, to
pluck human being from disaster, the face
of brave man who would dare to face even
death in his overpowering love Tor mankind ;
a man with heart Of gold, as incoruptible
as the bright stars of night, one on whom the
widow and the ordhan would lean with con-
fidence. 1t is this that makes Will Mcconnell
