Connected
with this Department will be a table for the exposition and sale of
valuable Autographs.
On the Musicians, Musical Instrument Makers, and Music Dealers, the
Managers confidently rely for a worthy representation of the beautiful
art of which they are ministers, by the giving of Musical Performances
and of instruments and music for sale.
The Managers and Artists of the various Theatres are invited to set
apart one evening during the Fair, the performances on which shall be
for the benefit of the fund.
It is hoped that the Public Schools and Public Institutions of a
benevolent character may contribute in some fitting manner to the Fair.
It is also hoped, from the well-known patriotism of the Fire Department
and the Police, that they will bear an honorable and conspicuous part in
this life-preserving and humane undertaking.
A Department of Arms and Trophies will be established, to which not only
arms and flags captured in the present war, but all articles of this
kind having a historic or intrinsic interest, will be acceptable
contributions, either for sale or exhibition.
An Old Curiosity Shop will afford all who have interesting relics of the
past in their possession an opportunity to enable others to share the
pleasure of examining them. Valuable contributions have been already
received in this department.
