The aCountry Fair at Sewickley last Tues
day was the midsummer social event oil tne
season and everyone left his own vine ana ng
tree, principally vine, for Sewiekley Is notn-
ing il not vine clad this time Of year, ana one
of the most popular pastimes is the training o.
the young shoot to the ideas instead OF the
young idea how to shoot and assembled upon
the grounds of the Sewickley Athletic Asso-'
citation where the country fair was in progress.
Fer Wednesday mornings local columns pre-
pared a full account of the fair only TO md
that through lack of space the report
was divested of its flesh and muscle and
only skeleton of facts appeared, which looked
TO me very unattractive. as imagine great
many people would, If their oft expressed wish
during the past week that they might sit In
pulse would he to dress them up again as It is
with this account, and thus make more pleas
ing to the eye, though from the name "Coun-
try Fair" one might think that report should
sayor OF the rustic and rural in order to be In
harmony with the original.
Not So however for with the name and the
sports on the programme the resemblance 70
the rural ceased and it was impossible to de-
teot any semblance of the rural swain IN the
Young gentlemen attired In handsome tennis
suits of light fannels who participated IN the
sports and were contestants in the races; whlie
among the ladies not Maud Muller could be
found, though many of them in their ravish-
ingIy pretty outing toilets would doubtless
have inspired the old Judge to the sentimental
reflections and remarks he is accused OF had
he viewed their beauties, and perhaps some OF
them did inspire their escorts to even more
tangible compliments than those OF which the
judge is supposed to be guilty.
The Supper on the Lawn.
The evening was dangerously suggestive OF
lust such things after this supper and the races
were disposed of. The supper was OF snch
quality and served so dainuly on shimmering
damask, with exquisite china that it was a
severe disappointment to many late arrivals to
be told that the cupboard had been reduced to
that state of baroness made famous, and popu-
lar in one sense at least, by the songs OF
Mother Hubbard. But the races and the e1-
citement attendant upon them msoe hungry
man forget his woes, Tor what man ooes hos
enjoy a race of almost any description, and
these were especially attractive from the high
social standing Of the contestants.
The gentlemen were not the only ones VINO
were Interested in them. either. as Mr.. Frank
Osburn, who ofhciated as master OF ceremo-
mics, could testify, as IL required any amount
OF persuasion on MS part 10 lnouee 'he Lar SEX
to stand back and give the runners room TO run
and the jumpers room to jump, 60 closely olu
they gather round the track. And they were
not inclined to believe Mr.. osburn when he
said; stand JACK stand oack; you can see
