THE FETE CHAMPETRE AND TOURNAMENT.
The great center of attraction for our people
during the coming week will be, not in the
crowded, noisy streets, or in the accustomed
scenes of home. but on the grassy lawns and
under the spreading oaks at the Fair Grounds,
where, under the auspices of thirteen benevo-
lent societies combined in one association,
there will be given a series of entertainments,
comprising mule, steeple and hurdle races,
archery, cricket, base ball, croquet and
raquette, dramatic performances and prom
enade concerts, fireworks and dances, and an
infinite variety of lesser sports. There are
very few among our citizens who have not
more or less interest in some one or another
of the thiIteen societies represented, and we
trust that they may give expression to that
interest by attending the fete with their fami-
lies. The suggestion that merchants close
their stores and offices, in order to afford then
employees an opportunity to attend, we regard
also as an excellent one, and hope that the
occasion may be thus rendered one in which
our whole populace, rich and poor, high and
low, may feel they Individually have duty
to discharge.
