TWO VERY FINE AFFAIRS.
Tabernacle Running Race With
the Park Reformed.

| Five hundred people with we'll allied
purses and OVERLOOKING with curiosity
| visited the Tabernacle Fair" last night.
| As is the usual custom of the Tabernacle
folks. they always give more than full
value for money received. Last night
| was no exception. Prior to visiting the
new gymnasium and reading rooms,
which are filled with booths and fancy
articles of every desert otion, the visitors
were invited to listen to a well rendered
musical entertainment in the church
The talent consisted of young people of
the church. many of whom have enviable
| regulations as performers. The chief of
these Is Miss Florence Turner, the charm
ing daughter of Mr.. William II. Turner.
She delighted the audience with several
solos and received well merited applause.
The entertainment concluded shortly be-
fore nine O'Clock.
Tnen went through the fair. On en-
tering the reading room l found myself
confronted by an immense candy booth
presided over by Mrs. }. 7. Edwards,
Misses May Bunco, Carrie Earle. Hattie
Parker, Bessie Spears, Florence Booth
next attracts attention. Japanese articles
Of endless variety are for sale.
To escape the entreaties of Mrs. w. Ii.
Turner. the bewitching smiles of Miss
Florence Turner and the great induce
ments offered by James Ferguson is i'm
possible. AS result the Japanese table
is one of the best sources of revenue.
The Ladies' Aid Society booth is an
other great attraction. Over this booth
Mrs. John Ewing presides. 1t "aids' the
visitor to open his Docketbook. 1t Is an
exchange of good money for good art-
cles, however. Mrs. Ewing is assisted by
Mrs. Theodore L. Parker, Mrs. Lille
| Cook, Mrs. Oliver Russell. Mrs. Ella
Lewis and Mrs. Williamson. Miss Louisa

tian Eudeavor, through Miss Ella Skill
| man, endeavored to supply every visitor
with handkerchiefs of all grades. Jen-
| ME B. Fisk took in many nickels from
persons confident that they could attach
