FESTIVAL AT FOREST GLEN.

A Success in All Respects-Some Notes
About it-A Concert Next Month.
The annual festival at Forest Glen, Mont
gomery County, Nd, last week, was success
in every respect-a result assured by the fact
that it was under the competent management
of the ladies of the Carroll Chapel. Miss Kate
Clark, one of the fair candidates for the gold
watch, collected $163 of the total of $500 and
won the watch.
Mr.. Bouic S. Clark was marshal of the tourna-
ment. First Knight Arthur Sullivan crowned
as queen Miss Denison, of Brightwood. Prizes
to winners in the tournament were saddle and
bride, saddle, bride and whip, and whip
and spurs, respectively.
The fancy table was in charge of Misses
Brunette and Weller, and among the articles
on exhibition was an excellent crayon portrait
of Cardinal Gibbons, executed by Miss Rose
Brunette.
The dinner table was in charge of Mrs Oliver
Clark, Jr., assisted by Mrs. Marlowe Mrs.
Coupard, and the Misses Clark and Baker.
The confectionery table was presided over by
the Misses Fenwick and Miss Boltin, of South
Carolina; Jacobs Well, Miss Lucy Anderson,
Miss Healey, and Mr.. j. II. Clarke, of Forest
Glen
The programme of attractions and amuse-
ments was varied, and the entertainments gave
universal satisfaction. The grounds were beau
tiful, and charming scene was presented at
night when the place was Illuminated by hun
dreds of Chinese lanterns.
1t seems almost unnecessary to remark that
the proceeds are to be added to the funds of
the church, the intention being to assist in the
early erection of new chapel.
The ladies OF the parish announce that they
are arranging for grand concert early in Sep
tember, to be held in Irving Hall, Linden, on
which occasion the lot at Forest Glen, secured
from Mr.. Hertford for the festival, will be
ratfied

Immense Sums That Have Been Made From

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Among the small things that have made their
inventors wealthy may be mentioned the pen for

Tricks OF the BoOkmake ers.


From the Nineteenth Century.
Apart from the grosser forms of roguery, the
bookmakers have great advantage over the
public. With their comparatively easy access
to Jockeys, stable boys, and others in the secret
of the stables to say nothing of their facilities
for unearthing unsuspected causes of disqualif-
cation, they are in far better position than the
public to know what is not going to win. In
unison with the possession of such secrets re-
markable system can be worked of what is
known as 'making false favorites." For this
purpose combination of artitices is often suffi-
cient to impose upon the public-rumors, freely
circulated, of the horses excellent condition
and of his successes in his trials, accompanied
at the same time by rumors antagonistic to his
competitors fictitious bets, commonly known as
"stumers," recorded in their books and pub
lished in the papers-all are calculated to bring
the public in to back him, perhaps up to the
position of first favorite.

Evil Results Of Banting.

"Banting'' isnot a success altogether. Fanny
Davenport tried it, and although she got rid of
nearly hundred pounds of useless flesh, she
was so aged and weakened by the experiment
as to be another and much less slightly woman.
Pauline Hall tried it, but gave it up the mo-
ment she found she was showing crows feet
and wrinkles. Isabella Urquhart was another
experimenter who dropped it, preferrng to re-
main stout and hearty to being cadaYerous and

wonder if any of you know how the beautl-
full designs used by dressmakers in Paris origi-
nateS l always supposed until recently that
their superiority was due to the Unborn taste of
each Frenchman or woman who uses them, but
have Just been enlightened on the subject 1t
seems that in Paris there are a few artists who
make speciality of designing gowns, wraps,
and hats, and the sketches are then sold to those
who use them. Very few modistes ever design
anything for themselves, or will even attempt to
execute garment without model or sketch to
work FROM Even Felix and 'the only' Worth
adhere to this principle, though you may be sure
few of their customers ever find it out. This ac-
counts for that nameless something, that indi-
Vidual stamp which French gown always bears.
