even greater skill than last season, and, if
the expressions of pleasure given by the
visitors can be taken as a criterion, the
display is well worthy of a visit from all
the ladies of the vicinity.
The fire wardens have made their ap.

fire in advance of the other companies, and

which have lately been caused
