Mrs. A. ]. Montague, who is prest.

that she Is very we'll pleased with the
outcome of the sale, and she believes
that the receipts will equal those of
last year, when the sum OF 1900 was
realized Last year was an unusually
good one, and. while 1t 1t not thought
that the receipts of yesterday will ex-
coed those. they are expected to be
as large.
There were in all lis ladies sta
toned in various sections of the city
