The attendance was large and as far

fair is a success. 1t will undoubtedly
u throughout the week.
Last evening Councilman D. M.
McGarry opened the fair with few
remarks. Mayor Henry T. Hazard fol-
lowed in brief address during which he
referred to the noble objects sought to
be attained by the charity.
A musical programme was then
carried out. Gen. H. G.
Rollins then delivered a remark
ably strong, pointed address. He spoke
in sympathetic vein about the work of
the good sisters and made such strong
plea for the exercise of benevolence and
charity in helping the institution they
care for, as must result in much good.
