THE HAULING CONTEST.
The first event of the day was the haul
ing contest for oxen and it is almost
needless to say that this attraction served
to draw a large crowd of spectators to the
portion of the grounds where it was
taking place.
The contest yesterday was for oxen
whose girth was between six feet eight
inches and seven feet twelve inches. The
weight to be hauled was 5000 pounds
which was pretty heavy for cattle of this
size and none of them walked away with
it. In fact they coaxed it along by pull
ing first in one direction and then an
other The yoke of oxen owned by E. S..
Libby managed to haul the drag fifteen
feet, eight inches from the stake in five
minutes and as none of the other con-
testants could equal this record Mr..
Libby's cattle received a blue ribbon.
The second prize was won by a yoke of
oxen owned by j. W. Leavitt who moved
the drag twelve feet and the third prize
went to Augustus Moulton's oxen who
managed to leave the drag eight feet
from the stake at the expiration of the
time limit.
LADIES' DRIVING RACE.
The ladies' driving race was called at
eleven O'Clock and two competitors came
to the wire. These ladies were Miss
Mabel Gilman and Miss Annie Gilman
of Scarboro. Although these young ladies
are sisters, this fact did not in any way
interfere with the interest each took in
trying to make better time than the
other Miss Mabel Gilman proved to be
the faster of the two and won the first
prize by Harvesting her horse, driving a

The opening day of Scarboro fair was
attended by weather which was simply
perfect. The attendance was hardly up
to the usual standard, owAlg probably to
the large number of fairs that have re-
Gently been held in this vicinity and as
the Scarboro fair is not as large as many
of the others it naturally suffers consider
ably from the sharp competition in this
direction.
The show as whole is an excellent
one and those who visit Pleasant Hill
can certainly have good time. The
display in the hall is on the same lines as
that generally seen in exhibition halls.

Her feet in their shiny slippers
Hung dangling over the foo.

And so. with her big brown eyes
Che stared at the Westinghouse windows
And counted the crawling flies.
She 10 ,ked far up at the preacher;
But she thought of the honey bees
Droning away in the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees.
She thought of the broken basket.
Where. curled in dusky heap.
Three sleek, round puppies. with 1ringy ears
Law snuggled and fast asleep.
Such soft, warm bodies to cuddle,
snch queer little hearts to beat
Such swift, round tongues to KISS you'
Such sprawliDg. cushiony feet!
she could feel in her clasping fingers
the touch of the satiny skin,
And cold, wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chin.
Then sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over the parted lips,
So quick that she could not catcn IL
with her rosy inger-tips
The people whispered. BLESS the chiid'
AS each one walked from nap;
But the dear wee woman hid her face
For 81 anne, In her mothers lap.

Mrs. Cornish looked thoughtful.
"Do you know what would be re-

last.
"Yes'm," replied Bessie, promptly.

folks have good time"
"Oh, you little darling!' exclaimed
Aunt Mildred, from the depths of her
easy chair.

you," said Mrs. Cornish, musingly;
@'but / could make you each badge

''Oh, please make it of pink, man.
maj" urged Bessie. "Pink is such a
sweet color"
"Des like the roses" added Susie.
sLook here, Peterkins," said Aunt
Mildred, as Mrs. Cornish went to
look for some ribbon, "tell me, please,
what you are going to do to make
other people have good times"
"Oh," said Bessie, sagely, 'we1l

Susie.
"Kiss them!" cried Aunt Mildred,
in pretended dismay. shall you
kiss everybody you meet?"
"Course we shan't" said Bessie,
Indignantly. I'VE don't kiss only
nice folks and those we love, do we,
Susie? You ask foolish questions, l
link, Aunt Mildred"
Aunt Mildred shrieked with laugh
ter till shy little Susie trembled with
fright, while Bessie deliberately
turned her back upon her.
"If l make you each a badge of
this, said mamma, holding up some
ribbon which might have been spun
from rose leaves so delicate was its
hue, twill you let it help you to re-
member to be always kind and sweet
to other people, no matter what they
say or do to you! A badge you must
remember, is not simply to look pref
ty, or to have others see, but to make
our own hearts better by the wearing
of it, Will you try to remember it,
my dearss"
"Yes'm" said Bessie, meekly; while
Susie, who stood greatly in fear of
Aunt Mildred's ringing laugh, dared
not speak, but nodded her head in
grave assent. Then the two little
girls stood and watched the fashion
ing of the tiny pink bows, feeling
very important when at last they were
pinned upon the front of their little
frocks.
'There, we shall have to call you
the Rosy Circle now" said Mrs. Cor
nish, giving each kiss; "and we
shall expect you to be always as
sweet as the rose"
They looked down reverently at
the pink badges.
''Is the Getty journed now, man.
mat" asked Bessie, at last.
"Yes, the society is adjourned"
Then we must go travelling some
where. Where can we got"
"Le's go down to Gramma War
ren's" suggested Susie, "and tell her
bout our 'ciety and show her our
rosy badges"
"Can we, mammal" asked Bessie.
"Yes; you may go and stay an hour
with her, if you wish"
The two turned proudly away,
hand in hand, but Aunt Mildred
darted in front of them and knelt
with her back to the door.
