The bazaar and festival at Pythian
Castle was brought to very success
full close last evening, after being in
progress five nights. 1t was arranged
| and conducted by the ladies for the
purpose Of raising funds to pay off the
outstanding Indebtedness on the Castle
building. The knights never do things
in a half-hearted manner, and they
made their bazaar a big success. The
large hall was very uastefully deco
rated, and the booths were trimmed
in bright colors, giving a very pleas
ing effect to the scene. The commit
tees of ladies in charge Of the different
departments have been heretofore pub

success Of the entertainment. Each
night from the opening to the close
was made especially interesting by
devoting it to particular purpose, or
by arranging a special programme.
The uniformed rank was present on
one evening, including a number Of
visitors from neighboring towns. On
another night the "Dokies" were the
guests of honor, and it is needless to
say that the merriment was continu-
GUS throughout the evening There
were many novel features, and no END
of devices for enticing the coin from
the pockets of patrons, but it was all
for a worthy cause, and no complaiIts~
were heard. A number of cOntG sis.
about which a great deal ~ interest
centered, were decided last night.
Although it-is Set probable that the
iadles l1rccharge of the Cathedral Fair
III ..s Carroll Club Auditorium real
yed $1,000, the amount which they de-
ftermined to collect, the affair was in
every respect one of the most success
! full ever given in the city. They work.
ed zealously, provided very attractive
! place for their patrons, and are to be
commended for their | efforts. The
profits of the bazaar are not yet known,
but they will reach a handsome sum,
and will go a considerable distance to-
ward defraying the church debt. For
| ten nights the ladies were on their feet
almost constantly, and they were thor
oughly tired when the big clock in the
City Building tolled the hour of mid
night and the lights in the Auditorium
were eXtinguished. The Ladies' Aux
iliary of the A. o. H. are especially
| thankful to Mrs. P. J. Gavin and Mrs.
| George Stanton for linen and silver
service, and Mr.. VIM. Lutz for laundry
| work Also to Mr. E. B. Carney and
| Master Charles Hallisy Last night
the throng was very large, and the big
| Fair was brought to successful close.
| Many of the articles not disposed of
were sold at auction. The bidding was
| lively and spirited and the receipts
were very large. The contests for diff
| ferent articles were to have been de-
cidd, but by mutual agreement this was
postponed until the first Monday in
| January.
The entertainment to be given at
! the Carroll Club Auditorium by the
| 1,,h nj oh
promises to be one of the finest anna
| teur performances seen in the city
for some time. The pieces, Turn
and lively the cast a capable one, and
the music by the Opera House orches-
| ira promises to make it altogether a
very enjoyable evening.
