BAZAR CLOSES IN TRIUMPH

Now Comes The Grand Ball In The Armory Tonight.

This affair Is certainly a howling success,” one of the strictly literal promenaders at the Fifth Regiment Armory said last night of the winding up of the bazar that has been in progress there for more than a week under the auspices of the Daughters of the Confederacy for the benefit of the Confederate monument fund.

The general verdict of everybody who has attended the bazar has been that It has been one of the most attractive and successful of the affairs of the kind ever held in Baltimore. But at no time has the liveliness of its success been more apparent than last night, during the closing hours of the bazar. The greater part of the wares displayed had been sold. To dispose of the rest the services of sundry amateur auctioneers were employed. The competition between these gentlemen-and in some instances ladies tried their skill at it-was fierce. All sorts of devices were resorted to in consequence. Megaphones, watchmen’s rattles, and just ordinary vocal chords, when these other instruments were not to be bad. The result was a lot of fun for everybody, including the auctioneers, and the sale of all of the trifles left on the booths.
