Mr.. Leonard Stiles tells us of the
New England Fair which he attended
at the Rigby Trotting Park in Cape
Elizabeth, Maine, at the close of
August. This trotting park is built
on bog, soft and miry, with road
bed of clay and gravel and is consider
ed ON account of the spring and
elasticity OF the foundation to be the
fastest mile track in the world. As
the horses pass the grand stand in
their mad race to the goal post the
rise and fall of the elastic road bed
can be distinctly felt. The buildings
of the lair grounds are expensive
structures and though the display of
fine horses and small stock is not
specially noteworthy the exhibit Of
cattle includes some remarkable
specimens of giant draft oxen and
mammoth breeders. One pair of
oxen years old, IL hands high and 9
#. in. girth respectively, weighed
together 6l0O pounds. Their test
pull was IL ,18l pounds OF stone on
drag.
One cow from the farm OF Hood, Of
SarSapar lila fame where they milk
I25 COWS, produced 1047! pounds of
butter 10 one year, % pounds in one
week. An Oxford Down sheep ex-
hibited weighed 800 pounds.
These are remarkable records, but

The Leagues Weleome

Following the custom of former
years the Epworth League of the NJ.
f. church gave its annual reception
to the students last Monday evening.
The event took place at the home OF
Mrs. NJ. Claggett whose kindness en-
| abled the young ladies Of the league
who had the affair in charge TO
arrange very pleasant entertain
ment and accommodate large num-
Der of guests. The purpose of these
receptions is primarily to make the
new students, who come from a dis
lance, acquainted with the church
people OF the city, with the members
of the school faculty, and with their
fellow students and the friends of
the school in general-in short, to
make them comfortable in their new
surroundings and assure them of the
friendship of the community. On
this occasion at least this important
function was not lost sight of, and a
goodly number of new faces were
seen among the crowds that thronged
the halls and parlors of the Claggett
cottage on the evening that the
league had chosen to welcome the
new students. The presence of a
large number of the Normal faculty
added a cheering dignity to the cordial
greetings and wholesome chatter that
made up good part Of the entertain
ment, and mum Der of the Normal AL
umni displayed their loyalty by being
present to help on the grateful task of
getting acquainted.
The league had provided register"
for the enrolment of students,
together with their home address,
their boarding place, and other data
useful to the society in its christian
work, and long list of autographs
was secured.
The refreshments for the entertain
ment consisted of assorted fruits, and
was tastefully and bountifully served
to the guests seated about the walls
of the dining room. A number of
shifts" were necessary to accom-
modate the large number served; and
as each person entered the dining
room lie was presented with an
ornamental boquet, which, on leaving,
was supplemented by souvenir
Greek cross inscribed with appropriate
emblems and notices.
The house was handsomely decorat-
ed with profusion of pansies, asters,
nasturtiums and mignonette and
presented very pretty spectacle
with-its harmonious furnishings, its
bright lights and the charming
costumes of the young ladies in at
tendance.
Little entertainment of a musical
or literary character was attempted
because of the crowd, but the recep-
tion was very pleasant and successful.

play was heavy one, classic, and so
large cast of amateur talent I'M
directed by professional skill could
hardly hope to render the piece with
out some slight error and inconsis-
fences. Some of the individual parts
were very cleverly done and few of
the performers displayed a notable
degree of dramatic talent.
