Crowds At the st. Patrick'a Church
Charity Entertainment.
The charity bazaar under the auspices
of the Ladies of Charity Of st. Patrick.s
Church. In Carroll Hall. is proving great
success. and q large sum of money for the
poor Of the city will be realized. From
eleven o'clock this morning until two this
afternoon every seat at the dinner tables
was occupied and many were compelled to
around the booths.
Last night the bazaar was we'll
attended. The hall with its many
colored decorations and gaily dressed
booths presented an animated ap.
pearance. The friendly spirit of competi-
tion was everywhere in evidence. The diff
ferent booths arranged along each side of
the hall were besieaed with prospective
purchasers all anxious to get at the many
costly articles displayed The large por-
trait OF Rev. DR.. Stafford. mounted in a
heavy gold frame, occupied a central posi-
tion in one Of the booths. and the handsome
upright plano donated by q well known
firm, was placed in a prominent position on
the floor.
The nine booths were tastefully arranged
and the decorations were harmoniously
carried out. No idea of the value of the
donations received by the ladies Of charity
can be given, but they amount to thou
sands Of dollars. Every firm in the city
appealed to contributed something and
large sums of money were received from
New York and other cities.
The Dewey pie booth, where pie 10
not sold, but which takes its name from
the heterogeneous accumulation of articles
1t contains. is grabbag on a large scale.
Its popularity has been demonstrated from
the first. and the money received. although
in small sums, does not compare unfayor-
ably with the amounts taken in by the
other booths. Every one visiting the ba-
zaar has the privilege Of voting for the
most popular booth.
A donation of particular interest Is a
first-class passage to Paris and return.
There is great deal Of speculation as to
who will be fortunate enough to secure
this trip. and 1t will not be known until
the votes are counted at the close of the
bazaar. Everything imaginable in the way
Of household articles. bric-a-brac. musi-
cal instruments. and even a course In Ian
guages. has been contributed to make the
affair a success.
The entertainment feature OF last even
ing was the tableaux representing charac-
ter sketches by Gibson. Those taking part
were Misses Viola Latham. Jeanette
King, Grace Tbyson, and Ella Corbett;
Messrs. ]. ]. Fitzpatrick, Charles Null
herrn, Joseph Cushman, D. F. O'Brien,
Michael Ryan, and James Higgins.

The Society Of the Ladies of Charity Of
st. Patrick's Church was organized a num-
ber Of years ago. AS Its name signifies, its
object is to assist all those in need. ire
