At the conclusion of the Knights
Fair. which had proved SO propitious,
an incident occurred that threw
a dark shadow across the Fairs
otherwise bright career, which was
dark and chilling as the moons
shadow ON the earth in Tuesdays
eclipse. When the young ladies
handed in their competing collections
for the gold watch and it was an
nounced that Miss Brumfeld had
secured the prize, q wild hurrah was
raised and "three cheers for Rising
Sun" given with the theatrical &C
compartment of clapping han, 8,
and shouts of "Rising Sun is
always victorious" and other sim
liar complimentary ~ remarks, Of
fering the grossest insult possible to
Miss johnson who had labored hard
and collected over hundred dollars
for the benefit of the order. In sharp
contrast to this unmanly and un-
gracious behaviour. Miss johnson
| went forward to her successful rival,
cordially shook her hand and COM
| plimented her on her success. This
was the act of true lady. The out.
rage offered her was so gross and
and painful that when she got out of
the hall her feelings oyercame her
and she burst into tears. 1t is hard
to conceive of treatment more un.
knightly and ungallant towards a
young lady, 1t may he plead in
extenuation of the offense that the
painful scene was through thought
lessness and momentary excitement.
but no true Knight will plead such
an excuse. There is but one escape
for gallant Knight from such dis
grace which is to commit hari kari.
We expect to record the fate of a
number transfxed on their own
swords.
