RETURNS OF ORPHANS FAIR.

Returns VI ORPHANS FAIR.
One of the Most Successful Ever Held
in Minneapolis.
The report Of the different officers of
the recent orphans fair association has
been delayed to this date for various
reasons. 1t must be remembered that
the more successful an affair of this
kind is the more labor will be entailed
upon those who have charge of it. And
from the facts which have already been
announced quite widely that it was
the most successful fair ever held
in this part of the country; that the re-
suits far exceeded the most sangune
expectations, and that the whole detail
Of caring for the returns has fallen
mostly upon one man, Mr.. j. ]. Regan,
it is only right to feel that the report
has been made up in very short space
Of time. To examine nearly 1900
books which were issued is no small
task. But add to that the difficulty of
finding out all the books which have not
been returned, of writing to each indi-
vidual who had book and had forgot
ten to return it, and requesting that it
be sent to so and SO, that he may make
his statement to the directors of the
orphans asylum and to the public, and
the task is seen to be no child's play.
1T is with much pleasure
and great satisfaction to The
management that the report is at
last ready for publication. Many
thanks are due to those kind ones who
helped to accomplish the grand results
Every one has done his and
her work, and done it we'll.
No exceptions can be taken to
the course of any one, and there are no
butts or 'ifs" to be spoken. If any
may be, they can be used only in this
way, namely, that "f anyone had :lone
differently the net proceeds would have
been less.'
Especially should thanks be given to
the Minneapolis Journal for its exceed
ingly generous gift, which ',etted SO
handsomely for the fair: to the Irish
Standard, paper ever ready TO cncour-
age true charity; to the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, and the Catholic Order
of Foresters, and to their sister assist
ants, the ladies' auxiliaries to each So
ciety; then to all contestants ard
workers., to each one individually and
all collectively. Each one may say,
and with a great deal of satisfaction, II
have helped to erect a monument to
charity, to build house-nay more to
lay the foundation stones for many
hundreds of Christian mems charuc-
ters" 81.
