a novelty in the history of ladies' fairs and add
much to the attractions. The drives from the city

the most beautiful in the neighborhood, and the
roads are excellent One may 90 either by Charles
street avenue, the York turnpike, or the lIilen
road. In taking the former route you should turn
at the first turn to the right after passing Mr..

routes to those who love quiet, shady and smooth
roads The delightful autumn weather which has
been favoring us for days past and the un-
