It is a splendid hall, capable of seating 1,200 persons. It has a fine gallery, and is fitted and decorated magnificently. The seats will be removed, and here the children of the middle district will gather to a festival, over which will preside Mrs. Harriet Hubbard Ayer, who will be aided in the work of distribution by a bevy of pretty girls and stalwart young men.
