painting of the Lake of the Three Cantons,'
the birthplace of Swiss liberty, from the brush
of Q. j. Schumacher This is to be sold for the
benefit of the Fair, and will be prize for some

Among the many interesting objects to be
seen in the main hall there is nothing which
attracts more attention than the knitting ma
chine, which is operated constantly by lady
who turns out stockings by the dozen. These
machines are brought here by Marx Brothers,
the general agents for New England. They
make the Fair present of one of the ma
chimes. As strange as it may seem they do
really knit pair of stockings in fifteen min
utes. Mr.. Marx is also agent for another very
useful article which is no less than pair of
scissors which can be folded up and put away
in your vest pocket. They are very convenient
and need OILY to be seen TO be admired.
A very neat looking miniature log cabin fur
nished throughout, made and presented by Mrs.
Amos Meserve. attracts much attention. Out
side of the house is an old fashioned well sweep
and rustic seat. Altogether it is very
unique article On the general table is lady's
companion which is worthy of, attention. Tt
was imported at cost of $3j and looks as
though it were we'll worth the amount 1t will
be ratified.
The refreshment room still continues to be
very attractive place. Mr. Martin was assisted
yesterday by the walters from his hotel and
they were all kept busy arranging the many
tempting viands contributed by Maine Lodge.
Mr. Martin is jast outdoing himself in this de-
partment, and if it is NOE a success he will not
be responsible for the failure
Despite the storm there was large atten-
dance in the evening and large number of
pretty articles were disposed OF. People are be-
ginning to recognize that this is an excellent
place to purchase holiday gifts at low prices.
You need not be confined to any particular line
of goods, for you can find most anything from
ton of coal to a tooth brush. By the way
they are offering big bargains in stoves, and
what would make better Christmas gift than
fine stove? The receipts are much better
than was anticipated. On the opening day
they realized $500 and yesterday nearly $500.
Today Ivy Lodge will furnish the refresh
ments, and it is said they are bound to out-do
all the other Lodges.
