KERNAN'S TEAM WINS EASILY.

The ST. Paurs Catholic Temperance
and Literary lyceum celebrated its 10th
anniversary last night, with harvest
festival, in Mechanics hall, and the
fact that the society is still the pos
SCISSOR of hosts of friends was demon
strated by the large number of per-
sons who witnessed the opening of the
festival. The work of the committee
which has been planned for many
weeks resulted beyond its expectations,
and from the time Miss Grace Mona
han came on the stage, at 8 o'clock,
to open the fair, until the last light
went out, the success of the st. Pauls
lyceum members as entertainers was
we'll recommended.
The rear of the hall was lavishly
decorated with red, white and blue
bunting, which was used to form
booths, where the unsuspecting visitor
was easily induced to part with some
of his money for numerous articles
which were offered for sale. Miss An
ME Gaffney, who had charge of the
flower table, was kept busy with her
assistants all evening selling her bou-
quets, and Miss Emma McCabe and
Miss Agnes Quinn sold enough candy
during the course of the evening to
give their candy booth a decidedly
bare appearance long before the fes-
tival was brought to a close. The ice
| cream table, in charge of Miss Maria
Fitzpatrick, was well patronized, and
Miss Margaret Sullivan's lemonade
table did a rushing business all eve
ming.
The ticket-selling contest between
teams captained by Edward W. Keenan,
and T. j. Butler, proved to be exciting,
but Mr.. Keenan's side won out over
its opponents, by selling $50 tickets to
635. AS a result, Mr.. Buffers team
will have to settle for a banquet which
will be arranged for at q meeting of
the society Sunday
The festival was arranged for by a
committee consisting of p. M. Fender
