 The fair, which opened at the armory last evening under the management of the Queens Daughters, is an assured success and is to rank well among the social events of the season there can be no doubt after last nights most suspicious opening. Both from point of attendance and splendor of attractions the affair gives good signs of being a record breaker. When the doors of the armory were thrown open last night to the public at o'clock it was not long beforee the spacious hall was fill- ed with merry guests and participants. With its numerous and attractive booths, each of which was presided over by young lady parishioners of the various Roman Catholic churches of the city in their tasteful and appro- priate costumes the scene is one long to be remembered by an observer.
 The booths, which are numerous, ex- tend at both sides of the hall and the rear, the center floor space being re- served for dancing. Every bit of the side space is utilized by booths, with the exception of that taken up by the raised stand for the orchestra, which is located at the left center of the hall. The booths, as has been before stated, are numerous and pretty, but the feat ure of the entire fair is undoubtedly the Yale" booth, which is located at the right center of the hall directly op- posite the music stand. This booth is, of course, made up entirely in the uni versity colors, Yale blue and white. Cloth of these colors are interwoVen and draped in a most artistic manner making the booth regular little fairy house. Palms and potted plants also lend an additional charm, to the gen. eral beauty of the scene. At this booth the dantiest and neatest of Yale souve- rlirs can be purchased at a most reas- onable price. ..-
 The ''Yale"< both was designed and is under the personal supervision of Miss Adella Sullivan of 256 zPortsea street, and she is assisted in the management of the booth by eleven other young ladies. This booth is we'll worth wis., iting and should not be missed.
 The fair is given the name of 'The Harvest Festival and Carnival of Ma tions,' and in addition to the Yale booth there are a number of booths representing various countries and the national colors of the various coun- tries figure extensively in the general color scheme of each individual booth. Among the many handsome booths each of which has it's full quota of young lady attendants, are the follow , ing; United States, France, Ireland, Japan, Germany, and also the ice cream, postoffice and housekeepers' booths. They are each and every one of them worth personal inspection as they are filled with numerous and pret- ty little articles on sale. :.
 The Second regiment companies rooms and also the rooms the Gov ernor's Foot Guard have been turned into card rooms, and each evening a long list of handsome prizes are award ed to successful contestants. Each eve- ming Stanford's full orchestra of twen- ty-two pieces will render a fine dance programme in the Big maid hall.
 The Queens Daughters are famous for their entertainments, but the pres ent event IS record breaker ever for this popular organization. The credit for this success is greatly due to Mrs M. J. Sullivan, the chairlady of the affair, who has been untiring in her en- deavors to bring about the accomplish ed result. She has been most ably as- sisted by Mrs. Thomas Cunningham, the genial preident of the Queens Daughters, and Mrs. John J. Carroll. The work of these ladies has been long and faithful, and the results accom- plished will greatly help their organiza- tin iKa broadening it's charitable work fin this city. t.
 The carnival will be repeated tonight and tomorrow afternoon and evening.
