The fair for the building fund of the
Sacred Heart Church, which has been
going on at the Catholic Library Hall
since, May IA closed last night. The
figures of the receipts were not avail
able, but it was understood that the
results exceeded the expectations of
the most sanguine and a goodly sum
is said to have been raised for the
continuing of the work on the new
church. During the progress of the
fair the hall has been visited by vari-
Gus organization of the city and the
patronage of the citizens generally has
been noted.
The presence of Bishop Leo. Haid,

a feature of interest and his patronage
has had a marked influence. Each
night since the fair opened the beau
tifuly decorated hall has been filled
and the faithful work of the commit
tees, the ladies in charge of tables
and booths and the young ladies who
assisted, testified to the interest felt
in the undertaking. 1t is generally au-
mitted that the fair was one of the
prettiest as well as most successful
ever held in Savannah. The arrang-
ment of the booths and tables, the dec
orations and the gorgeous display of
fancy and useful articles of every des-
cription. have never been excelled.

BILE to make awards in some cases, and
among other things the ticket to New
York was not awarded, but will be
later. All persons desiring information
