UNION FAIR.
Second Nights Program An
Unqualified Success.
Large Crowd Present and Thoroughly
Enjoyed Themselves.
Festivities Will Wind Up, Tonight, with
Grand Ball.

The second night of the fair which is
in progress at City hall, under the aus
pices OF the Central Labor Union. was
attended by more favorable conditions
than was the first, and another big
crowd was present.
1t was not crowd like that which
assembled in the hall, on Tuesday
evening for crowds like thai are not
called out in Augusta two nights in
succession, but it was a big crowd for
all that even though it was not 50
large by several hundreds as was the
crowd IN the previous night.
Everybody seemed to be out for
a good time. and what is more, see med
to be having it, the younger conting-
ents especially, and the impromptu
games of tag, together with the
chatter of older members of the aud
fence rather interfered with the
pleasure of those who desired to hear
what was going on on the stage.
The program was a change from
that of Tuesay night. being of lit
crary and musical nature, and was one
Of excellence. could the numbers have
been heard, but the enjoyment OF the
selections was restricted to those who
stood within the immediate vicinity of
the stage.
The program opened with a contral-
to solo. by Miss Alice Quincy Lane OF
vinalhaven. Her first number was
Barbara Freitchie." which she sang
with most pleasing effect. She has Il
beautiful voice, pure and fall of rich
ness, and it is hoped that she may be
heard again in Augusta, under more
favorable circumstances. She was
generously applauded. and responded
with a Lullaby" by Kate Vannah.

COTTON MARKET ACTIVE.
In the Afternoon There Was Little Dis
position to Sell.

New York. Jan. G.-Great activity de-
velopcd in the cotton market. today. after
it had opened comparatively quiet and
somewhat easier under lower cables. First
prices were very irregular. at an advance
of six points to a decline Of six points.
For the first few minutes liquidation in
absence of bull support caused declines
of about sale points on the three active
months. but thiswas followed by Il stead
Ter tone which became decidedly strong
as the session progressed so that by mid
day all the active months had advanced
to new high levels with March selling at
l5.34, May at LIS and July at 1865. This
W;lS a gain of 1if'3S points from the lowest
of the morning and a net advance OF :3t2S
points on the positions named.
In the afternoon the market became
rather less active and it looked as if the
most pressing demand had been filed.
There was little disposition to sell how
ever. and after easing off a few points
prices were again rallied by Il renewed
bull support. In the late trading March
sold at 1542. MAY at 15.c5. and July at
15.T The close was firm with prices; at
about the best, net 10 to SIS points higher
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
