ish Of St. Luke's.
All the features of beauty and love-
illness were parts present to the opening
night of the festival and fair being held
by the St. Luke's parish on the new
cathedral grounds, corner Summit ave-
nue. and Victoria street. Last night
was most propitious one, and the illu-
limitations of the old Wann orchard with
a myriad of cOlored Japanese lanterns
and huge engine head lights made one

western horizon and the old apple Or
chard was quilted with shadows and
faint lights, the Pensioners began to
arrive in buses, carriages and a-fOOt,
and when old Sol crept to hiding, there
were fully 800 persons upon the grounds
engaged in the various booths and de-
partments of the fair. A bicycle club
moved smoothly along Summit avenue
and halted under the dark shades of a
few sheltering trees near by, adding
mach to the picnic and outing air to the
scene. In all, the entertainment is the
most unique ever thrown open to pub
lie enjoyment in the city and well
deserves the patronage and support of
a benevolent public. 1t is given solely
for the benefit of st. Luke's parish, and
is well represented by its fair beauty
and attentive maternity. The young
ladies, as we'll as the old, have charge of
the booths, which in themselves are
models of decorative genius. The fancy
booths are presided over by Mesdames
Cunningham and Williams, with sew
eral assistants. This bower of lace,
silks, notions and fancy goods wrought
