INCIDENTS OF THE EVENT

There was an immense crowd of people
last night at Gonzaga Hall. the occasion
being the opening of the fair which is 10
be held this week ard next for the benefit
of the building fund.- and the managers
hope to clear $1,000. This. 1t is thought,
will be accomplished should the attendance
continue to be large as it was last night.
The patrons were extremely liberal and
the nights receipts were larger than had
been expeo ted. Before the fair was for
mally opened by Archbishop Martinelli
there was a large gathering i'm the main
hall to listen to the opening address Of
Representative j. E. Fitzgerald of Massa-
chusetts, who was listened to attertireiy
and literally applaud I'd. He was presented
by the Rev. Father Gillespie, who made a
few remarks about the building cf the hall
and the effort being made to raise money
to pay for it.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said he was glad to have
the pleasure Of addressing SO large an au-
dience of the best people of the city. and he
was also glad that he was permitted to
speak for SO good cause. He had re-
cefved his training under the Jesu;ts. arid
he knew they were people worthy of the
confidence and support of all the people
who favor higher education.
No man, he said, should lie ashamed to
acknowledge that he Is a Catholic. 1t was
try celebrated an inci1eat connected with
the discovery of Am erica, and This was
done by a Catholic, COLUMBUS. He then
referred to Catholics who had distinguished
themselves In the various wars us well as
those who had served their country in
other respects. Gonzaga College, he told
his hearers, had distinguished citizen and
scholar for its leader, Rev. Father Giles
pie. He has always been, AMI still is, a
jealous worker in behalf of the college
and has the welfare of the people at heart
which is, of course, for the peoples benefit
He said many other words OF praise fer
the president of the college, and hoped tie
people would be generous in patroniIing
the fair. When he had concluded his re-
marks the audience filed from the hall to
the fair room, ana there Archbishop Mar
tlheili gave the customary blessing, and the
fair was opened.
