Large Crowd.
Motifs hall was crowded last evening
with as many visitors to the Orphans
Fair as could find room to get about.
The word has evidently gone forth that
this is an exceptionally successful enter
tainment, and that it must not be missed
by anyone who enjoys a good thing. All
of the young ladies who were in attend
ance at the booths were in fancy cos
tunes, which makes the scene, as viewed
from the gallery, very brilliant one.
The programme last evening consisted
of number of musical selections, which
were we'll rendered by the orchestra un.
der the lead of E. F. Kaltmeyer. The
principal feature of the entertainment
was play, The Lost Heir, which was
rendered by the students of st. Vincent'e

lius,". Count of Solar (Theo.), J. g. Glass;
"st Alme," his SON. F. A; Thorpe: "Fruval,
: Kenssly %pupre" an assa servant: 1aE'es' 9. L.

Count, D. O. Pryor.
The play was rendered in very cred
table fashion, several of the actors dis
playing very decided ability.

management of each evenings entertain
ment in their own hands. The commit
