house; but, later, he tried to explain by
saying that men employed on the brick
| mansion at Bronson's Verna farm were
to have picnic at Samp Mortar during
the day and that the beer was for them.
But even this did not satisfactorily ex-
! plain the quantities of empty bottles, the
| bar-like arrangement and the ready
change. Hayes will have hearing on
Monday at 10 o'clock at the Town hall,
before Justice B. b. Brothwell. In the
meantime, he is selling at the saloon as
usual Patrick III. Dooley's saloon, al
most directly opposite, was also eNamin-
ed, but no liquor was found in his living
rooms.
| Ladies of St. Pauls church and par
| ticularly those of the guild have reason
to be proud of the success of the fair and
festival held nnder their auspices at the
pavilion on the beach, last week. The
date set was Thursday and Friday, July
"a and %, but, owing to the great down
pour of rain, it was deemed advisable to
continue it ON Saturday. When the
morning dawned, however, with rain
falling and more promised, the ladies
became almost discouraged and were
abour to pack up the remaining articles
and close their fair, when the sun came
out bright and warm. Although the at
tendance was hardly as large, Saturday,
because it was not generally known that
it would be held, yet a goodly number
were present and comfortable sum adj
ded to the profits, which, including 500
subscription, will be over $1,000. This
will be devoted to the fund for the chap
ell for which about $1,000 is now on hand.
This fair was one of the most successful
ever held by the church. The pavilion.
which is large, roomy and airy, was at
| no time crowded and was cool and far
more comfortable than any other build
ing in town could have been. The peo-
pie who walked or drove to the pavilion
or were brought there in the buses run
from the post office to the beach by w.
NJ. Rulkley were charmed with the eff
feet produced by the brilliantly lighted
building and the admirable arrangement
of the interior. The space occupied by
the stage was completely filled with a
floral bower of beauty. Down the build
ing, on either side, were ranged long
tables; on one side, three tables filled
with fancy articles of every description,
handsome, costly and attractive. Be-
sides those, there were tables for cake,
confectionery and cream and a large
quantity of each was disposed of. 1t has
in past years been the custom of the
church to have grab bag" or similar
device at these fairs and fish pond neat
ly filled the accustomed place. The pond
was concealed behind network of WOW
en- cat tails, in front of which the fisher
stood and from whose depths many were
obtained. No pains were spared by all
to make the occasion interesting and en-
joyable. The young people took pleas
ure in dancing on the balcony, Col Stew
enson touching the keys for them at
times. There was also vocal music by
Mr. Hotchkiss and his son. q
Copies of the bylaw regulating the use
of the sidewalks have been posted
through the town. Although the law
was not in effect until to-day, the side
walks have been carefully avoided by
cyclists for more than week.
Every week, almost every day, brings
fresh pleasures to the guests with whom
the George hotel is filled. The annua
