TIE INFANTRY FAIR.
The Closing Nights OF the Voting Con-
tests.

The Closing Nights OF the Voting Con-
tests.
The driving rain last night had Its natural
effect upon the attendance at the Light In-
fantry fair, but still there was goodly
number present, and the business at the
various booths was brisk. The paddles
were kept In active circulation, and many
invested their money In that direction. 1t
was expected that the High School Cadets
would visit the fair, but they did not put In
an appearance. Tonight, 1t is hoped, the
hall will be crowded. The following list OF
articles to be competed for will close on the
dates mentioned, and all competitors will
please take notice, and govern themselves
accordingly.
