Interest Maintained by the Ladies IN the
Cathedral Far.
Some novelties were introduced into the
cathedral bazaar yesterday by the ladies,
and in consequence a new interest was
manifested at night in the passing show gen.
orally. The booths. and particularly the
floral arbors of Mrs. O'Brien's pavilion,
were as bright as ever, and if possible the
ladies even more attractive and charming
than before.
The attendance was sufficient to fill the
spacious hall at the new cathedral COM
pietely, yet the number of gentlemen pres
ent was not so large as On the opening
nights, the sterner sex, no doubt. now being
body and soul III the political fray. A vOt-
ing contest for the most popular paper is
one Of the attractions and is being held in
connection with St. AnthOny'S booth under
the direction of Mrs. L. Il. Robinson.
At Mrs. Diilon's booth is highly polished
Irish bOg-oak cane, the present of Mrs John
Mccarthy OF Cork, Ireland (nee Miss Mary
Ellen Barry, formerly of this city. The
cane is mounted with magnificent gold
handle, with a large shamrock of green
COnnemara marble ~ top, and engraved in
most eXquisitely fashioned devices, includ-
ing panels OF shamr0ckS wrought with won
derful delicacy, ivy aud fern leaves, and
harp, vol dog, round tower and sunburst.
The newest attraction in Mrs. James
O'Brien'S pavilion is grab-bag of fanciful
design, from which may be taken souvenirs
Of the bazaar under the supervision of Miss
Hussey. The usual delightful concert, in
which mandollns, guitars, zihers and vio-
Inns took "A large pat, was given in the gar
dens during the evening, while an audience
collected around the players and heard the
music With evident pleasure.
On Thursday evening concert will be
given in this rustic retreat by Profess

success will De continued on the remaining
nights Of the bazaar.
Owing TO the holy day Oh the following
day, there will be no concert Tomorrow

afternoon on the same day instead. Besides
popular selections on the organ, Miss Ida
Vaerga, the Patti of California Mime. do

Sandy, w. Wood and S. Blum Will con-
tribute vocal selections. 1t is hoped that the
audience will maintain silence so as to test
the acoustic qualities of the edlfiee, as also
to enable the softer stops, which are Justly

advantage.
