BOSCOBEL FAIR.


The fair opened rather inauspicisusly
az to weather. but the exhibits fully
reached what the most sanguine had
expected, and the entries for the races
were more numerous than at any pre-
vions fair. The weather became so cold
the last day as to make overcoats very
comfortable, and taken all together from
the first il averaged very uncomfortable.
