Features.
Last night, notwithstanding the rain,
there was larger crowd than usual at
the Knights OF st. George and Orphans
Fair in the Capital rink. The hall was
well filled, and the pretty fancy articles
and good things to eat and drink went
off with pleasing rapidity, while the
museum was crowded continually. This
feature OF the fair, by the way, should
not not be missed by anybody. Prof.
lie Blanc's singing and instrumental
music are worth the price OF admission,
while the works OF art are really unique.
The gypsy camp retains its attractive
ness, especially for the little ones, who
yesterday afternoon and last evening
went wild over the pretty pony tethered
near the tent. Miss Wingerter and her
assistants have in this and the other de.
partments OF the 'Nook Gallitzin" q
profitable feature OF the Fair.
The supper table, under the able
superintendency Of Mrs. George Hook
and competent committee, is feature
worthy OF liberal patronage. Dinner is
served daily, supper each evening, and
lunch or supper throughout the evening
till the fair closes. They set good
meal.
Last evening four more contests were
decided by the committee. The elegant
hand-painted table scarf donated by Mrs.
James Fitzsimmons was drawn by ticket
No. As, held by T. S. Riley. The crazy
patch pillow donated by Rev. Mgr.
Sullivan, was drawn by No. 81, held by
A. Woeber. No. 256, held by Mr.. A. NJ.
Rice, drew the superb gentleman's
dressing case donated by Mother I'M
maculate, at the Convent. A beautiful
basket OF natural flowers disposed OF by
Miss Annie Hess and her assistants at
the flower booth, was taken by Rev.
Mgr. Sullivan with No. 90.
The fair will BID open every afternoon,
and in the afternoon ladies arc admitted
free. This evening Mrs. NJ. Z. Whitaker
and Mr.. Charles Harding are announced
TO sing. This is to be Leap Year"
night, and the ladies must do the hon
ors. It is safe to predict that they will
show the gentlemen how to do them.
