past experience, the weather was charm
ing With us this annual occasion is
quite a society affair. Everything else
is subordinated to the fair for the time,
and the ladies place on exhibition their
daintiest embroideries and choicest do
mestic products. Many Of the society
leaders show an interest in the fair by
serving as Judges in the various classes,
or as members of advisory and superYls-

pendent entirely on the fair for their en-
tertainment. That would answer very
well for the day, for the racing was good,
the balloon ascensions thoroughly success
full. the exhibits all fine, and the crowd
itself interesting but the nights were
made merry with balls and parties and
other pastimes.
On Wednesday night a very enjoyable
german took place at the Dancing Ac-
