Luck.
Larger than at any previous time was the
attendance at the Soldiers and Sailors fair
in City Hall last night. Every inch of
standing room in the hall was occupied and
it was with difficulty that the grand entree of
the Genius of Portland and attendants which
took place last Monday night was repeated.
But all are glad to see such interest mani
Tested In the fair. 1t now looks as though
the monument fund would be raised in full
as the direct result of the fair. Up to yes.
terday morning over $4,000 had been taken,
| and last nights sales of tickets and goods
will probably swell the sum to about $4,000.
The entertainment last night was very
| pleasing. Chandler's orchestra played
many excellent selections, and the singing
| OF the Portland Male Quartette was highly
| appreciated. The reading tableaux, Mend
ing the Old Flag by Miss j. Maude Fabyan
and the song by Miss Luella c. Evans were
delightful. The tableaux were all good. and
so was the drill of the young ladies. In the
voting contest for the national flower the
Mayfiower Is ahead, and judging from the
number oil ballots in the boxes at the jewel
ry table MIR. A. NJ. Sawyer will win the gold
headed cane offered to the most popular
Grand Army man, and Mr.. Austin will get
tie Sons of Veterans sword. Still there are
baekI townstoebe heard from and the result
may be different from what the indications
now point to.
