The Unitarian fair, an annual institu-

duct small amount for minor inciden-
tai expenses, but in the close proximity
of 5000 will be the profit. One of the
features of the fair, an interesting and
prominent one, was the silk sofa-spread
and pillow, of which Mrs. Sarah Rog-
ers was the originator. Tickets for
guessing the number of pieces in the
two articles were sold, the one making
the most accurate guess having the
spread and pillow. Willie Callahan,
the popular clerk at Charles Hamlin's
store, purchased three tickets and his
first guess was the correct one, 1927
pieces. Everybody was pleased to know
the prize was his. Mrs. Butterfield

Der. The largest guess was POOL, the
smallest 324 The diamond containing
the largest number of pieces had %
and the one having the fewest, four.
Miss Stella Hatch was custodian of the
guesses. When the prize was delivered
to its rightful possessor the applause
was deafening. Mrs. Rogers superin-
tended the whole matter of collecting
the diamonds, and made a large num-
Der herself and after the requisite
amount was collected, the articles were
completed by her.
