THE FAIRS SEVENTH NIGHT.
The Attendance and Interest on the
Increase.


Increase.
Catholic Library hall presented an I'M
usually attractive appearance last night. 1t
was crowded almost to excess. Crowds OF
visitors examined the many dainty things
displayed at the various tables and booths,
but it was the pink lunch that attracted
the visitors most Shortly after 10 o'clock
about thirty couples sat down to the table.
The lunch was a success financially and in
every way was recherche analr.
The scene was not unlike wedding
dejeuner, with long row of young ladies
in pink aprons and bows, and each one with
beaux gorgeously attired in pink neckties
and other pink favors. To make the picture
more realistic the bride aid bridegroom
elect occupied seats at opposite ends OF the
lunch table. Hon. P. w. Meldrim and wife
were there to grace the occasion.
There was a charm of unconventionality
about lunching and munching the pink
cake, pink ice cream and quaffing pink
Lemonade from pink-colored glasses. 1t
was thoroughly enjoyable nibble, and the
young men were happy with big h. sit
ting beside their whilom sweetheart or
wife, The lunch was given under the man
agement Of Mrs. A. r. Myers and Mrs. h.
Grady, and was served in excellent STYLE
At table No | a morocco valise was won
by Nicholas Reitz. The handsome French
clock at this table will be ratified tonight
A thriving business was done at table No.
2 The flower and candy booth, a valuable
adjunct of this table, under the manage
ment OF Miss Savarese, is one of the best
sources of revenue in the hall. Mr.. e. NJ.
Barton and Miss Mamie O'Brien also
assisted at this table, hot house plant
was won by Miss Regis Smith, and an en-
broidered satin pin cushion by j. Hen
Messy; a basket of japonicas by Mr.. G. W.
Strobhar and p L. Constantine.
At table No. the contest between Capts.
Marmelstein and Ybanez for the gold
mounted sword is exciting much interest.

sett won by Miss Fannie Bacshler; cologne
basket, John Duggan; roasting shoat, James
7. Maher; sofa cushion, c. Valens Robin
son; pair of ladies' shoes, by Miss Maggie
