MuNJoY LODGE FAIR.
Close of Successful Week by the Knights
of Pythias

After one of the most prosperous
weeks as regards local fairs and festivals
Munjoy Lodge Fair had an suspicious
closing Saturday night. The attendance
was large. so large that dancing was
nearly out of the question, yet it was a
good natured crowd and all were salts
fed. The grand march started at $50
led by Knight Arthur NJ. Sawyer, who
acted as floor director. assisted by
Knight Geo. G. Craven, with the men,
bers of the Executive Committee as aids.
A pleasing list of eleven dances was en-
joyed and the music ceased just in time
for the last one to leave the ball at mid
night. The order of dances was ex-
tremely unique bearing on its face a
sketch of the interior of the hall with all
the decorations. The drawing and the
plate was made and donated to the Fair
by the Lakeside Press Co., and was a
quick job well executed.
