the Ring offered by Sacred Heart
TabIe-Other Awards That Were
Made.
An auction sale of all the unsold do
nations to the Cathedral Fair closed
that institution last night. The auc-
tion was begun not until after IL
o'clock, being delayed to allow the
booths to dispose of such goods as OPP
tions had already been given on. De-
spite this precaution there were still so
many articles left over that it was con-
siderably after midnight before the
auctioneers had concluded their la
bors.
Almost every thing was sold; one of
the exceptions was the piano at the
table of Mrs. McDonough, and possibly
one or two other such large and valua-
BILE articles. Before the auction was be-
sun, a tremendous amount OF
business was done by the various
DOOAllS. IAN NelAANJ anu iiC"~A DSS~%-
made a clean sweep by the usual pro-
cess of disposing of its stock and so
had no use for the auctioneer.
BY far the greatest amount of bust
ness was done, however, at the Sacred
Heart table. Two contests were closed
and each of them brought in large re-
turns. They were for the pony, pre-
scented by Rev. Father r. F. Kennedy,
and for diamond ring. The first of
I. T~t,v, ca ffrr rn-l,re
votes amounted to $26015. The other
contestants and the amounts they
turned in were: Nick Stafford, $154S5;
John Kelly. $3.50; Tim O'Keefe, s75:25;
and Tom Spellman, $40. The ring was
won by Miss Agnes McGraw with
$155.S5. Her opponent, Miss Mabel
Zeigler turned in SIS.
Owing to the fact that not all of the
tickets on the sideboard have been
turned in that article was not dis
posed of last night, but will be We'd
nesday. Though very few donations
have been received within the past
few days, the Sacred Heart table last
night received from Mr.. Dennis Shea
a gift of $40.
