Closing fhe Fair.

IA success in every way, social, tinan- cial and otherwise This is the univer'- sal verdict regarding the fair for the ben eft of St. Bose church, which has been held in St. Patriek's hall and which clos ed, last (Thursday) evening, with q grand drawing of prizes. A few had been drawn each evening this week, but the bulkier and more valuable articles were reserved for Thursday. The event of the fair, of course, one which would do credit to any company, was the ssLiving Picturesn or historical tableaux, given Monday night. The pro- gram as given last week was carried out, the descriptive readings being given by T. J. Corbett. The audience was much pleased and gratified by the ease with which the young ladies took their parts and by the costumes, which were elabor- ate and true to the times and characters they represented. This was in charge of Miss Joanna E. Gaffney, whose arduous labors in this direction were crowned with gratifying success.
 Wednesday evening, the entertainment given by Miss Gaflney's school in the Town hall, last Summer, was repeated with even more ease and readiness.
 The drawings were, of course, the great center of interest. The gold watch, the last article drawn. went to Peter McMinimun. Oscar Pitzschler drew the COW. Early in the week, Father Dona- hue had drrwn blackthorn stick, which he prizes highly. The fair lasted just two weeks. The prize winners:
