We are happy to acknowledge the receipt of
$124.00 sent to the Daily Faro, by Mr. J. B
Wetherill, of Memphis, Tennessee. Mr. Wetherill,
formerly a resident of this oity, retains an interest
in the conoerns of Philadelphia. He has been
-very active in aiding our fair; besides obtaining
a respectable list of subscribers from Memphis, he
exerted himself to obtain a benefit from the Mem
phis thoatre. The Manager kindly lent the build
ing. Maj.-Gen. Washburne and his Staff were
present and aided the success of the enterprise.
THE CLOSING CEBEMONIES.
The Fair was kept open for three weeks, a
longer period than had been originally con
templated, and during that whole period, the
enthusiasm remained unabated. The attract
ive goods on the tables were soon disposed
of; but while any were left, purchasers were
found; and the zeal and devotion of the ladies
of the different Committees were unflagging to
the last. And here, perhaps, we should speak
of one characteristic of the Fair—the perfect
refinement and good breeding so conspicuous
in its whole management. That young ladies
of the highest social position should have sus
tained the part of amateur sales-women, with
out, in any instance, being subjected to the
slightest rudeness from any one in that mot
ley throng,—that thoy should have moved
about at all times in full toilette amidst the
vast multitude, with the same ease, seourity
and freedom, as they would have done had
they been in their own homes, was certainly
not the least suggestive of all the suggestive
things in whioh the Fair abounded.
Although vast crowds still thronged the
buildings, and the interest in the Fair remain
ed unabated, yet the Executive Committee,
feeling that there must be an “ end to all
things under the sun,” and thinking that they
had no right to overtask the energies of those
who had worked so long and so faithfully, de
termined to close the exhibition at the expira
tion of the third week of its existence. Dur
ing the last two days admission was gained at
a reduced rate, but strange to say, the num
ber of visitors was not so great as when the
price of tickets was much higher. It was de
cided to close the Fair finally on the evening
of Tuesday, the 28th of June. The crowd on
that evening seemed greater and more enthu
siastic than on any previous occasion. Union
Avenue was thronged with a dense mass of
people, all eager to testify their admiration of
5 00 Richard Parry
the exhibition, their thankfulness for its won
derful success, and their regret that the hour
had come when its exquisite beauty should no
longer gladden the eye or warm the heart of
all those who loved the soldier.
At nine o’dock, the Executive Committee,
preceded by a band of music, formed in line
of procession at their room, and marched to
the platform to tho soul-inspiring strains of
“ Hail Columbia.”
The Right. Rev. Bishop Potter, in company
with Mr. John Welsh, the Chairman of the
Executive Committee, ascended the platform,
or gallery, followed by the remaining mem
bers of the committee.
Bishop Potter offered a solemn and appro
priate prayer of thanksgiving. The Doxology
was then sung, Mr. M. J. Mitcheson officiat
ing as leader.
Mr. John Welsh delivered a short address,
in which he said that the whole enterprise had
been conducted in a highly satisfactory man
ner, all the men, women and children uniting
in heart and soul to make the Fair a success.
The band now stationed on the floor, played
the “ Star-Spangled Banner.” Mr. Mitche
son said: “Fellow citizens, I think we can
all join in singing the Star-Spangled Banner.”
It may be needless to say that the national
song was sung with a full chorus. This being
ended, a voice oame from the densely packed
multitude, “Give us Yankee Doodle.” This
was responded to by the band, and the people
became wild with delight. They cheered,
clapped their hands, waved their handker
chiefs, and evinced various demonstrations of
joy.
Mr. William D. Lewis proposed three cheers
for the worthy ohairman of the Executive Com
mittee, John Welsh. This was responded to
in the most lively manner. The Committee
then retired. After the passage of some ap
propriate resolutions by a meeting of citizens,
that was subsequently organized, the vast
crowd scattered, and took their unwilling de
parture from the buildings where they had en
joyed so much genuine pleasure, the pleasure
of doing good while gratifying refined taste.
And so concluded the Great Central Sani
tary Fair. We trust that its grand substan
tial results may carry blessings into many a
field and hospital, and that it may be very
long ere its influence in a social way, and in
the promotion of a more enlarged patriotism
and a more comprehensive philanthropy, may
cease to be felt.
OUR FRIZE MEDAL.

such of the patrons of “ Our Daily Fare” as

bers eaeh, is in preparation, and will be duly
