THREE FAIR EVENINGS

Promised by the Ladies' of the Butler Street
N. e. Church-Alumni Association to
.Banquet-Recsptiont to Gradustes-Con-
cordia Club House Accepted by the
Members.
The Butler Street M. E Church last
night began q three days session of a most
agreeable kind-an entertainment combin.
ing garden party with a bazaar and straw
berry and ice cream festival. The gro unds
which were lent for the occasion by DR.
Clark, of Lawrenceville, are situated on
Butler street and ty-fourth street, and
thus being on the main thoroughfare offered
every inducement to the passer-by to come
in. The grounds are scarcely orthodox, the
turf in this case not being grass but tan
bark. The novelty. however, proved very
successful and elected many comments in
admiration. The booths were dotted
everywhere, and out of tho middle ot
the lemonade stand grew great
tree, whose forked trunk held the
several implements OF the trade. 1t had a
unique effect and proved attractive. Among
other attractions was the redoubtable mer
ry go-round, untiring and energetic as ever
and from the opening of the fair until mid.
night it continued in a wild hilarious course
to the delight of every small boy and girl in
Lawrencevflle who had the pennies to buy
his way. As the evening still showed no signs
of rain, confidence was restored in the
breast of the multitude, and by 10 O'Clock
standing room was uncomfortably close
quarters. The first evening augurs well for
the two remaining. Whatever the state OF
the weather, there are still two days of the
fair To come. 1t will be deferred in event of
rain, but certainly will be given on later
fair evening. The complete list of commit
