With this end in view, the erection of
the Catholic Clubhouse on Jersey avenue,
between Second aud Third streets, was
begun some months ago. And the formal
opening last night was made the occasion
of the beginning of aladies' fair, which
will continue for ten days, and which
promises to prove successful beyond the
expectations OF the most sanguine.
All day long the ladies' were busy pre-
pairing their tables, loading them down
with the beautiful and costly articles
which friends had contributed. And the
result was a display every member of the
parish may we'll feel proud of. At nine

crowded. From the street. the passerby
was attracted by the brilliancy and decor
ations of the interior. Within the scene
was one of hustle and activity. The fair
~canvassers fitted from place to place,
greeting friends and securing their auto
graphs. The booths were all prettily
decorated. III contained articles OF real
value and merit.
