The Fair at Hibernian Hall opened last night, according to- provions announcement. Wo wero surprised on visiting it to and the arrangements so completo,?tho hall presenting so much the appearance of a fairy palace, knowing, as we did, that tho fair projectors have had bnt a very short time for preparation. The decorations are con ceived in fine tasto and very well excouted. Flowers and evergreens are beautifully blonded; bouquets and wreaths greet tho visitor on every hand; and what, with the many fairy forms flittiug in, through, round and past the many bowers, it is no wonder if an unsophisticated bachelor, on entering, should imagine himself in tho midst of an enchanted castle. Th? little fays, accosting him with their most bowitching smiles: "Tako a grab, oir ? only ten cents ;" or "won't you take a chanco for this beautiful doll? only twenty-fivo cents; yon won't refuse me ?"?only assist in keep ing up the illusion. Nor was tho charm of music wanting to complete the fairy lout ensemble. The fair Post mistress did a fine mail business. Her services were in constant quest. Tho refresh ment tables wore well supplied, and people of taste expressed themselves woll satisfied on com ing away. Tho Sybil's Grotto is ono of tho leading features; entwined in the weird-looking tillandsia, with festoons of the same moss hanging in grace ful curves around, it forms fit slirine for tho Delphic Python. Horo sita the venerable priest, giving oracular responses to any curious ho or she who shall inquire into the hidden mysteries of fate. The ApataloBCope attracted many visitors. Its wonders will he open to the public gazo to-night. We cannot oven give a passing notice of all tho curiosa to bo mot with here. Wo dofer further particulars for our issue of tomorrow. We are requested to stato that the entrance tickets are fifty cents; that the grand Tableaux will form an attractive feature in tho programme for this evening, and that the 6th ?. S. Infantry Band, with permission of Col. Clitz, has kindly consented to perform at the Hall to-night. Wo hope all our citizens will avail themselves of this opportunity to onjoy a pleasant evening, at the same time contributing their quota to a good cause. The programme of tho Band this evening will he as follows : ?. 1. Ovorluro from "8tradeHo." 2. Pot pourri from "II Trovatore." 8. Gallop?"Wilhelmebad." 4. Selections from "Martha.". J. Polka?"Millauola." . Anvil Chorus. V. Buenos Noches.

W. WAnDELL, President ; J. W. Denny, Vice President; W. H. Bell am x, Secrotary and Treasurer. A Committeo was thon appointed to, draft a Constitution?tho laws for play to be in accord ance with the rulea and regulations of the Na tional Bdeo Ball Association. A Committeo was also appointed to see to the supplying of tho Club with bats, balls, 4c, from the North. Tho first regular game was contested yesterday on the Citadel Green in preaeooe o* a large num ber of spectators. Tho play waa highly creditable for begiauors, whilst a fow of the playera gave evidence of euoh skill as conld only bo acquired by experience. The Club already numbers up wards of thirty members ; all of them gentlemen of the highest standing, in our morcantilo com munity. Boeo Ball play is a reoroation that com bines amusement and dexterity with healthful ex ercise, and we aro pleased to note the establish ment of this ono in Charleston as a fait accompli. Tho Club will play on tho Citadel Groen on Wod nosdays aud Saturdays, wbero and when all wht> desiro to soo tho manly sport can attend. As Others See Ufl.?To see ourselvos as other* soo us, though at times unpleasant and not flut tering to our self-esteem, not to s-.ty vanity, is, nevertheless, sometime-? the roverso, and always, to a cortain oxtont, advantageous. During our recent brief Bojourn in New Ye>rk city we took ael vautugo of tho opportunity afforded for taking a glanco, not Rt oureelvcp, but at what is still denror tous?tho prospective iutorosts of our gond ci y, as reflected in the mirror of public opinion in tho groat metropolis of America. Wo tiro pleased to be able to record that our Neirthern friends ece-iu to indulge in higher expectations in regard to tho futuro welfare of Charleston than do many of our citizens themBelvee. The account published in our columns in tho issuo of tho 12th inst., in relation to i ho projectod building of a hanelsemio block on tho square bounded by Meeting-street, Queeii streot, King-street and Horlbock'B Alloy, was hailed by our Northorn frieuda as a harbinger of tho dawning prosperity of our city, and wore it successfully carried out, would bo proeluotiv?. (,f tho most salutary results, inasmuch ub it would give auow impetus to trade, immigration, and the attendant influx of capital so much nontled. Were tho proposed plan to fall through, the evil results that would accrue would ho proportionate. It is thereforo most earnestly to bo desired, f"?r tl>e aako of tho general welfare, that tho en?erprisiug entlemen who havo taken this matter in hand will not allow a few difficulties, mute or less, to operate against the successful uccomplishmont ot an objeot so wisely conceived. Wo hope Boon to be ablo to inform our roadors, both at homo und abroad, that tho praiseworthy undertaking has not been abandoned, but that the ball is to be energetically pushed along and kept in motion.
