The Orphans Fair closed last night, O
rather early this morning, after yer.
successful night. The whole week, in
deed. has been remarkable success il
point of attendance and as regards tht
amount of money taken in This fail
will probably make a record FOR itself al
one Of the most profitable ever held IL
the city.
During the first half of the evening the
floor was so crowded that it WAS very
difficult to get about. The gallery was
also filed with people standing. All the
booths did lively business, and what
ever of consequence was left over at the
end of the evening was disposed OF al
auction by Messrs. Wade and Captain.
In the course of the evening the Kalt.
meyer orchestra played the following
programme of music:

'Sslesia;" polka mazurka, '.True Love;" waltz
"s9unds Of Love-" guadrille, Victoria ?
waltz. Sounds from the Rhine;" overture
.Meoley;" galop, "Kaltmeyer; waltz, Home,
Sweet Home.
The most interesting part of tho even.
ing's entertainment was the contest over
the various articles which we're to be
voted away. The first to be decided was
the leather rocker, to 20 to the booth
having the largest number of votes.
The prize finally went to the Sodality
booth, and at the end the vote stood /:
Sodality, 726; Cane booth. 7211a !;
Orphans Appeal, 2041s;- Grab.bag, 155 |;
Japanese, 155. Votes were cast for
nearly all the other booths, but they
were too email to be recorded.
The most exciting contest of all was
for the handsome oak book case, which
was to go to the most popular Secretary
of Los Angeles organization. 1t was
donated by A. McNally. The only two
active contestants were Thos. A. Cook,
Of the Union League and Anthony
Schwamm, of the Y. M. j. The polls
closed at IL o'clock. Both Mr.. Cook and
Mr.. Schwamm were present, as we'll as a
crowd of members from both organisa-
tions. The Y. M. I. had q neat little
scheme put up on the Union League.
They decided to give them the secretary
bat to make them pay as dearly for it as
possible. 1t was ruled that after Ger
tain time the i. vote should be
silent and unannounced, the money
being deposited in two separate boxes
uncounted. The agents OF the Y. M. /.
were provided with quantity of 81 bills,
which from time to time they deposited.
The Union Leaguers followed in good
faith with $5 and $40, and even $20gold
pieces. In this way the latter orgsni7a-
,tion put in 500 more than was neces-
sary to win the bookcase. At the end
the vote stood: Cook, 2,0509 Schwamm,
I,0S31s.
The contest for the cane. donated by
Captain Darcy, which was to go to the
most popular newspaper, was interest
ing, although one.sided. It seemed to
be we'll understood by the other papers
that the HERALD was among its friends,
and that it could not be attacked. At
the end the vote stood: HERALD, 375 ;
Times. 5; Tribune, TO-; E2Nsss, !;
Orphans appeal, 10.
