Chlldfen'S vaudeville and Fair-Some
 of the Features of the Entertain
 ment.
 Seldom, perhaps, has a committee for an entertainment worked so faithfully as has that which is now preparing the childrens vaudeville and fair to take place Saturday of this week at Harmonic hall.
 So that every school child in New Haven may come the board of mana gers chose a holiday and made the price of admission but twenty-five cents.
 Prof" Hurd, one of the most anus ing of magicians, has been secured for the fair by Manager Poli, of Polls theater, and in a few days other attrac- tions for the vaudeville show will be announced.
 So that there may be room for all the children, the committee has planned to have the big drawing room of Har- monie club connected with the hall, and the floor will be set with small tables for ices, cakes and other tooth- some goodies, so dear to the childish heart. Children are invited to come at ? o'clock and stay until ', so that they will have time to see all the wonderful things.
 The magic goose that laid the golden egg Is surely coming. and as he has been here before this fowl so marvel lous needs no introduction to the little folks of New Haven.
 Mrs. Walter Camp and Mrs. Isham Henderson are to be in charge of her gooseship, while a great bran pie, also to contain many beautiful things, al- though not golden eggs, will be cared for by Miss Isabelle Cromwell A Christmas tree holding hundreds of fine | presents will be attended to by Miss Reed. The little daughters of Rev and Mrs. G. Brinley Morgan will bring a wonderful mechanical toy sent them from Paris,.
 Bounteously provided will be the re- freshment tables and all of them are to be looked after by Miss Winchester. Mrs. Henry English and Mrs. George P. North have promised to care for a | candy table, which will be laden with sweets from Millard's famous place, The charity ball on Friday night promises to be a brilliant dance, and all society will be in it's best bib and tucker in honor of the nurseries.
 Warner hall will be handsomely dec- orated with rich rugs and flowers, and a delicious supper is being prepared by Francis.
 The nurseries are greatly in need of money, as the treasury, especially that of the Hill street nursery, became de- pleted after the extensive repairs of last summer.
