Ivy the Clubs and other Social

It was Hibernian Night at the Ca
thedraI bazaar in the Carroll club aud
forum, and the biggest crowd of the
week attended. If the weather had
been favorable, the hall would have
been uncomfortably TANNED. Mem
beers Of parke, Mullen and Benwood
division of the A. o. H. and ladies'
~auxiliaries were present in full force,
and literally ~patronized all the booths
and special features. The ladies in
charge OF the supper tables were kept
very busy.
In the afternoon the orphans from
the boys and girls home at Elm Grove
were given a feast. The entertainment
was arranged by the ladies' auxiliary
of Parke division A. o. H., who have
charge OF the supper tables. The little
misses and masters came in over the
w. & e. G.. railway, Mr.. Anton Rey-
mann having generously furnished
them free transportation. Escorted by
the C. H. S. drum and fife corps, they
marched TO the hall, and thoroughly
enjoyed the afternoon. Many persons
were present, and purchased articles
for the children. They were in high
glee, and departed very reluctantly.
Last night an excellent entertain
ment was given, and instrumental mu-
sic was furnished by the Grand Opera
House band. The ladies have prepared
special programmes for to-day. This
evening an oyster supper will be serv-
ed.
On the stage the following artists
will appear: James Webster, in comic
songs and dances, assisted by VIM. D..
Criag, cake walk and fancy dances by
the Weisgerber and Benter children;
Irish Jig dancing by Mrs. Kirk; mono
logue act by Vincent Owens.
OF all the booths in the Auditorium
none can compare in appearance with
the Fancy-table. The young ladies in
charge worked hard and diligently and
their efforts were crowned with sue
cess. The booth occupies the centre
of the han and is robed in spotless
white, showing to a great advantage
the many beautiful articles with which
it is covered. Numerous sofa cushions
and fancy embroideuies are worthy of
notice. Special mention is made of
the following articles:

r. F. Harris from ]. w. Myles; a fine
