About noon on Wednesday the Catholic ladies were not over sanguine in regard to the success of their fair, for the clouds hung heavily overhead, and underfoot the roads were very heavy, but before night their fears had given way to jubilation, for their fair had proven a grand success both socially and financially. A bountiful supper, with several handsome girls as waiters, was served from 5 to 9, the receipts from which amounted to $29.30. Miss Marie Ackerman and Miss Jessie Marnoch had charge of the only booth, which contained mostly needlework, and the proceeds amounted to something near $20. In the evening three of our best auctioneers, Messrs. Barnard, Shaw and French, sold the fancy articles left for good prices, after which the following program was listened to and greatly enjoyed: Piano duet .....Laura and Pearl Wachter Recitation .....Miss Eunice Slone Vocal duet .....Marie and Florence Ackerman Recitation .....Mrs. Stevens Speech .....W. J. Browner Negro Comedy Specialties .....Messrs. Will and Frank Barnard, Dinwitty. Recitation .....J. S. Shaw During the program Father Godachalx gave a few remarks in which he expressed much gratification at the success of the fair, and especially commended the non-Catholic for their liberal support.
