A GRAND old lawn surrounds the resi-
dence of Hill Burgwin. Esq, at Hasell Hill,
Hardwood. Its beauties were utilized to
splendid effect for the lawn fete in PROCESS
yesterday afternoon and evening for the
benefit of the Church OF the Good Shepherd.
The ladies under whose direction the enter
tainment was given had exercised their
taste and ingenuity in a thousand ways to
add to the natural beauties of the environ
ments. Chinese lanterns were disposed in
long festoons of colored lights among tall
trees, where they cast warm refec-
tion upon the masses of dark green
leaves. number of booths in diff
ferent colors were to be seen here
and there. brilliantly lighted, and
each surrounded by dainty maidens, in
pretty costumes, and gentlemen, in the
sober garments of the day, as active as the
ladies in the gentle employments of the
modern lawn fete Japanese booth was
striking in it's vari-colored decorations and
the wares. Half a dozen tots, in japanese
robes, sold Japanese dolls, bonbon boxes,
toys and trinkets generally, and were in
themselves tine principal attraction of the
booth. Behind the stand was dwarf tree,
such as is common in tie lsnd of the
NJ

in the way of toys candies, etc. The fancy
work booth was draped in white Yeddo
CLOTH held in place .un by punches nf 90 Of golden
of great beauty made by the ladies of the
church, which sold rapidly a. good prices.
The lemonade booth was festooned with
yellow Yeddo cloth, hung with iruit in
punches and garlands. to carry out the
effect of autumn and its offerings.
A gypsy camp, with Miss Marion Cowan as
the sybfl, attracted great deal OF atten ton,
the suggestion of something supernatural
having an almost Irresistible fascination for
many of the young people.
An organ stood on the wide porch of the
house, and it's mellow tones rolling across
the lawn added to the pleasure OF the even
ing. Glees were sung by some OF the men,
ber- OF the Brotherhood of St. An drew, with
organ accompaniment, and the Gienwood
band played several selections in good style.
There was a shooting gallery on the grounds,
where marksmeu of both sexes mad an OPP
portunity of showing their skill with the
rifle and where by the by, there were some
very creditable shots.
The ladies hope to clear $500 for the fur
nishing of the church proper and the choir
room. From the attendance last night IL
must be said that the indications are In favor
of this amount being cleared very easily. IL
is expected that the church will be ready
for dedication by the last Sunday of this
month. The tull list OF the committees has
been given in THE DISPATCH already.
