New YORK, May 5.-The actors fund
fair at Madison Square garden is each
hour becoming prettier and more interest
ing. The ladies are continually rearrang
ing and adding to the booths. The au-
dience last night did not affect the boxes as
much as on Monday night, preferring to
move around among the booths. The re-
ceips S1l,579, proved the advantage of
this greater intimacy with the booths.
At THE FLOWER BOOTH.
1t was at the flower booth where the
most effective work was done. Twice dur
ing tbs evening the supply OF flowers was
exhausted. A faded rose, however, COM
manded as much as an orchid. One wag-

one Of the prime donnes, 1--WE charge 5
cents smeli." He paid for several
smells.

raked in the funds. AT her elbow sat her
cashier and her cash box was literally
packed with greenbacks Men stood around

Georgia Cayven was the evening star to-
night. She shone with all the refulgence
of her charms Of manner, OF grace, OF smile
and OF coquetry. 1t was a picture TO see
