MYSTERY HATCHINGS

“CURATES’ EGG” AT TOWN HALL JASPER CALDER’S FAIR The hatchings out of the “Curate's ESS” are big features at the “Come and See Fair,” in aid of the City Mission, now being held at the Town Hall. An immense oval, about five feet long, the egg is “declared open” at intervals by the Rev. Algernon Snotlcastle, a pale-faced curate, who is not lacking in wit. The fair is also complete with its “tin hare.” The bazaur, which contains everything that a bazaar ever held before and a great deal more, is open from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., and from ? p.m. to 10 p.m. this evening. This is the final day, and the Rev. Jasper Calder, who stage-manages the show, announces the engagement of special vaudeville attractions to-night. The money collected will go to help the splendid work of the City Mission.
