L. I. Corps’ Armory. INTERESTING AND UNIQUE OPENIXG EXER- CISES—PICTURESQUE SCENES IN THE FAIR EOOM—AN AUSPICIOUS OPENING, &c. When the Washington Light Infantry Corps’ fair opened at the armory of the corps lasteven- ing it looked as if scores of matrons and maid- ens had stepped down outof Hogarth’s sketches or the chapters of Barnaby Rudge, and sud- denly become animated flesh and blood. Many of the maidens, too, were very aainty speci- mens, with pink and white complexions, dim- pled cheeks and laughing eyes, framed in the “cutest” bonnets. Then there were court ladies of a century ago, with ruftsof Eliza- bethan dimensions, and little maids from school in Kate Greenaway styles. The sur roundings were in keeping with this quaint assemplage. The armory was transformed to repred€nt an old English VILLAGE FAIR SCENE. Little gabled cottages and houses, apparently of ancient masonry, formed the booths which the young ladies in Hogarthian raiment at- tended. At the east end of the hall was an old jasbioned mountebank stage, such as was a common sight at fairs in England a century ago. The cottage booths and other structures were designed by Mr. W. Bruce Gray, the arch- itect, who is a’ member of the corps, and ar- ranged and painted by the scene painters of Albaugh’s opera house. The costumes and general arrangement of the exercises attend- ing the opening were in charge of Rev. L. H. Schneider. The period between 1750 to 1816 was selected for representation because during those years, though comparatively modern, = gfeat deal of the ‘old fashions still prevailed, especially in the inland towns of England. ‘he arinory seemed to be comiortably filled at 8 o'clock, but still the people streamed through the door. ‘THE OPENING was delightfully informal, and seemed to be in perfect keeping with the village scene. About 9 o'clock the town erier, with clanging bell, and the beadle, m knee-breeches, carrying a lantern and a spear, made the circuit of the hall. Oc- castonally they paused and the crier, in a mon- tone, which might also have been copied from Hogarth, if Hogarth had been able to catch sounds on the end of his pencil, called out: 10 yes, O yes, O yes; the fair will now be opened by his honor, the mayor. Soon afterwards the beadle and crier agaln appeared at the head of @ little procession, composed of the six night watchmen of thé town, all in 18th century costumes, bearing lantern and __ spears, and wearing upon their heads the hel! mets which were worn until very recent times by the watchmen in many Eng- lish villages. After this display ot power and authority came the village ‘squire, a right {elly-looking; stout English ‘squire, in ‘his best reeches and hose, who was made quite short of breath in his efforts to keep step with the long-legged policeman ahead of him. Upon either arm of the ‘squire leaned a buxom vil- lage girl, and behind him trooped a merry throng of village maidens. This procession made the circuit of the hail twice, and_then the ’squire aud his body-guard ascended the steps to the mountebank siage. THE 'SQUIRE MAKES A SPEECH. Here the ’squire addressed the multitude in bombastic phrase. The ’squire turned red in the face when he forgot some parts of his speech and at the gibes of some of the irreverent gath- ering. He got through with his part, however, and was then borne off in triumph ‘by his re- tainers. This over, the fair begun in real earn- est. The village maidens, with winning smiles, solicited, not in vain, for Votesand chances. Thé booths began to do a rushing business; the spin- ning jenny man, with modern briskness, turned many a dime into the coffers of the corps. The Scene Was one full of color and life, and well Worth seeing. During the evening the great physician to the mighty Han Khan, emperor of all the Chinas, appeared, performed wonderful tricks of magic, and also exploited the great cures affected by his marvelous nostrums. Mr. john K Galloway 1s the name by whieh this learned man is known in private life. Amoi the attractions of the fair also is a Turkis! booth, upon which the village gallants and belles'gaze with wonder. During the fair, It is announced, the White Elephant of Barmah will be exhibited, and various strolling play- ers will appear. One attraction promised is a gallanty show, which, as it was explained toa STAR reporter, is a shadow pantomime. AN AUSPICIOUS OPENING. ‘The members of the corps, who attended the fair last evening in fatigue uniform, were de- lighted with the prospects of the fair. The attendance was ‘and the visitors displayed much interest, In addition to the booths and structures forming the village scene, spaces are given up to the exhibition of the large and in- teresting collection of goods donated to the fair. Que of the large rooms adjoining the armory hall is devoted toa display of furniture donated through different firms. ‘The furniture is rich and of elegant workmanship. Fine gro- wines, cigars and ‘other com- in” wholesale quantities are arranged most attractively. One booth is given up to the sale of groceries, which will be sold at the current prices. One of the officers of the corps stated toa Stak reporter that a fair Valuation of the goods of different kinds do- Rated to the fair and exhibited in the hall would amount to $20,000. The members of the corps hope for even etter results from this fair than from the one held ia the skating rink three years ago, and which netted the corps about $30,000.’ In giving that fair the corps incurred an expense of about $14,000, The ex- onses of the present fair, it is théaght, will not more than $4,000, so’ If the recelpts are as large the profits will amount to $40,000. At the former fair the corps had to rent the rink, and then remodel it for their p On this occasion they have no rent or other heavy to pay. —_—— The Electric Light Consolidation. ‘ME, LEITER FILES A SUIT FOR AN INJUNCTION. Levi Z Leiter filed a bill yesterday against the Brush Swan Electric company and the United States Electric company for an injunc- tion and receiver. He sets out that he has in- vested $1,000 in the Brush Swan company and that that company has become possessed of material for carrying on the business of electric lighting, ete., but that Saul V.

"The deals call thelr adap tation “The M: of Honor,” and while it somewhat deficient in dramatic incident, and its comedy is of the mildest sort, it was thor- oughly enjoyed, and the encores’ were so fre- quent that the performance was lengthened out Until after 11 o'clock, Miss Marie Stone, Miss Agnes Huntington, Mr. Tom Karl, Mr. W. Macdonald and Mr. Herndon Morsell assumed. the leading roles. “Miss Huntington's delicious voice and uncommonly attractive manner won the audience at once, as on cris hee ap) ances here. Her scene and duet with iss Stone in the frst act, and her pretty chanson in the last, are especially worthy of mention. Miss ‘Stone has a flute song in the first act which is very fine,and was well fendered last night. opening solo in this act Is effective, and was redemanded. There is a spirited duo for Messrs.
