Purim Gazette.

Purim Gazette. New York: Purim Association. Various local Jewish institutions and charities benefited from the funds raised by the Purim Association’s annual Purim Ball. The issue for 1882 (not located) is described in Julian Werner’s New York letter, American Israelite (Cincinnati), March 10, 1882, p. 290 ("a handsomely printed pamphlet of some fifty pages"). Issues are known to have been issued as early as 1864; see "Chronicles of the Purim Association," Jewish Messenger (New York), April 1, 1864, p. 100 (humourous account copied from the Purim Gazette). The Purim Ball held in 1864 was the Purim Association’s third annual one (ibid., p. 101); issues were published as late as 1893 to benefit the United Hebrew Charities (ibid., March 10, 1893, p. 3).
