THE TEACHERS FAIR
Opened Last Evening Under
the Most Auspicious
Circumstances.
Many BEAUTIFUL BOOTHS
List Of the Ladies in Charge Last
Evening-An Excellent Musi-
cal Programme for To-
night.

Not in its history has the Post building, at
NO. 90 Montgomery street, presented such an
animated and decorated appearance as it did
last night. The Teachers Club fair was
then i~naugurated, and the third, fourth, and
fifth floors were devoted to it. The man.
ayers of this enterprise had labored success
fully to make the occasion a brilliant one,
and bright lights, striking colors and smiling
faces were the result of their labors.
The object of the fair which will last until
Saturday, is to increase the Annuity fund for
members of the. club who nave become in
capacitated, and the relief fund for teachers
who lose their positions through no fault of
theirs.
The third floor of the building was devoted
to refreshments entirely, and the fourth and
fifth floors to booths. These were all very
beautiful. The High School booth, in orange
black, is a work of art. 1t was designed
by Mrs. N. Cranmer. Here dolls, fancy
lamps, pictures and -bric-a-brac could be pur,
chased by anyone who desired to invest.
opposite is the Training School booth, con-
structed entirely of pale blue material. On
the table, exposed for sale, may be found
DOCKS, FANCY articles and works of art.

The ladies' lake consists of a bath-tub filed
