of c0DgratnlatiOD to the ladies' who have
worked so hard and accomplished so much,

tically applauded address of the same
general tenor.
ROsener's Hungarian Orchestra then
took possession of the platform. where it
remained during the rest of the evening
rendering from time to time some of the
most pleasing selections in its repertoire.
A goOdly number OF people assembled to
listen to the opening exercises, but before
the business Of the bazaar had really begun
new arrivals filled the hall to its utmo at
capacity. The booths were crowded and
the young ladies whose part il was to sell
tickets, letters and other articles to those
in the body of The hall found it almost
impossible 10 move about.
One thing was speedily ascertained, and
that was that the visitors were all in a
generous frame Of mind. and had come
prepared TO do their share toward buying
out the amateur merchants who so win
was well patToniZed. and the way in Which
the gold and silver ratified into the Golfers
OF the lady cashiers was most encOurag-

accommodate comfortably tho throng
which surged into it: but as every one was
amtable and no one seemed disposed TO
complain of the close quarters that was
minor consideration.
In speaking of the booths it is difficult
to say which of them was the prettiest,
although many considered that of Mrs. Dr.
NJ. 5. Levy to be deserving of this dis

bunting formed the drapery of this bower,
and sprays of smilax contrasted prettiIy
