FORESTER'S FETE AT TILE CRYSTAL

PALACE.

The Annual Fete of the Foresters took place on Tues-
day, at the Crystal Palace. The fine weather rendered
the gathering a most successful one. The doors
were thrown open at an early hour, and the
various excursion trains, especially throughout the
morning, were crowded to excess with the rcembers of the
"Ancient" Order and their friends. The Brothers, as
usual, came out with their green dresses and regalia,
after the usual fashion. The day was auspicious
for the occasion, but the numbers present were far below
that of the previous year, although the various excursion
trains throughout the afternoon brought large additions
to those already assembled. The programme was
judiciously arranged, and such as to meet the manifold
tastes exhibited generally in the interests of Forestry.
There was a grand procession from the cricket ground,
sports by the boys of the Duke of York's School on the
sporting ground, a display of the fountains, ascension of
balloons, and an exhibition of the life-preserving appa-
ratus.
