 “A festival in aid of the poor opened on Saturday, 26th inst., and will continue during [MON-WED]. . . . The lady managers have spared no exertions to make this festival attractive; the tables will be filled with beautiful articles for New-Year’s gifts, which will be disposed of at moderate prices.  Helmsmuller’s splendid band is engaged for each of the four evenings.”
