ALEXANDRIA FAIR.

The Alexandria Fair and Jock
ey Club Association opened under
tue most favorable auspices last
Tuesday a week ago and continued
till Sunday hight.
The races of Sunday having been
abruptly terminated by the sllad,
ows Of approaching night, were
continued and finished Monday af:
tern0on.
1t is safe to assert that the Fair
just closed, surpasses any previous
exhibition, not ou?y in the number,
but in the quality of exhibits,
which has ever been held in Alex.
an!ria.
The management, Individually
and collectively, deserve great
credit for tho indetatigable energy
displayed by them and which
alone has contributed to the sue.
cess OF the enterprise.
The exhibits were principally
from Rapides, but there were quite
IL number also from Coushatta,
Lake Charles and New Orleans.
The poultry and swine exhibit es-
pecially was superior to anything
ever seen in a local Fair.
Some of the best known turfmen
in the South were here with sta.
bles of racers, trotters and PAGERS,
and every afternoon from l O'Clock
till sunset, lovers Of the sport had
ample opportunity to revel i'll their
favorite pastime.
Limited space must be our ex.
cuse for not giving a general
"write W" Of the exhibits entered,
the premiums awarded, ETC., as it
would require several columns OF
space, not now at our disposal
The editor returns thanks to the
management for cOurtesies extend
ed to himself and staff.

must be destroyed. The havoc wrought

A Bellows Falls Girl.

Mrs. OXley of New York has been
spending a week with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. A. p. Crossett, during which
many friends and acquaintance have
been glad to meet her, and especially
were they pleased to have the opportu-
nifty to hear the solo, "Abide With
Me-" given by her so sweetly and inn
pressively at the Memorial services at
the Opera hall on Sunday afternoon.
This is her first visit to her old home in
some five years, and though native of
Brandon Mrs. OXley is really Bellows
Falls girl, having lived here in child
hood and youth, and naturally her
friends rejoice in her musical attain
ments. She is still following her pro-
fession as a contralto singer in New
York and was a member of the choir of
DR.. Parkhurst's church, when that dis
tinguished clergyman gave his sermons
and philippics in exposure Of the cor
ruption of the New York city govern
ment.
