body spending Some of
His Money.

There was marked increase in the
attendance at the orphans fair last
night over that OF the previous evening.
More people came, and they appeared to
be in a more liberal mood than usual.
All OF the ladies were kept busy show
ing and selling the various articles in
the booths, or else serving their many
patrons to the different kinds OF refreah-
men!s.
The body of skirmishers, the little
misses with their chances for all kinds
OF retfles, were everywhere. Nobody got
past them. and nobody tried to. The
only way to get out of the difficulty was
to be held up and either take the chance
or plead the stringency-oi the-market
excuse.
A creditable programme was rendered
alo.
The first selection was the Greeting
chorus. sung by the girls Of the Sisters
school of Boyle Heights.
Mics Bertha Roth then rendered vo-
cal solo, Forbidden Music. with chsrac.
teristic ability.
A eelection by the Arevalo Guitar club
was well received, as was the vocal duet,
When the Tide Comes In, by Misses
Aurelia Harcot and Jane Martin.
The last number was a chorus entitled
The Water Lily. by the girls OF the Sis
ters' school.
Mics Mary Mansfield was the accom-.
PIANIST.
Another excellent programme was
announced for this evening.
Everything looks as new and fresh as
on the opening night. The booths are
replenished with flowers and vines
every day, the generally fine effect be-
ing maintained every night.
The Orphans Appeal is the name OF
the fair paper, which is published each
day.
Several monographs have been added
to the many attractions in the hall.
These wonderful mueic registers were
constantly in use last evening, and
large amount was realized.
Several more voting contests have
been started, two being at the hat
stand. In one corner ia placed the vot.
ing booths and near by are the ballot
boxes. The people are thus enabled to
