THE cHRYsAETHEMUMF FAIR.
| The Chrysanrhemum fair given by
the cemetery association last Thursday,
Friday and Saturday was fiattering
! success financially, socially and every
other way. We're we to give each arti-
Gle mention that was on exhibition our
supply of type and paper would be ex-
hausted before We would have a good
beginning. The attractions of the hall
consisted chiefly In floral display and
articles in use years ago. such as gar
ments worn by men and women, who
are now fathers aud mothers, and
even grandfathers and grandmothers,
when they were mere babes. Then
there were other handsome and neat
articles all the way from so to 100 years
and even going back as far as 1000 years,
the last being COINS that were found in
Northhampshire, England, in existence.
There were watches, knives and forks,
spoons and many oddities OF early days,
all Hastily displayed and it was hard to
tell which part of the hall was the more
interesting. Those who cared more for
music were also accommodated and
those wishing good square meal were
disappointed. If any day or evening not
deserves mention more than another,
1t is Saturday evening when an excel
lent entertainment was given. The
music by Misses Lebrecht and Cur
RE and Messrs. Painter and Thompson
orchestra, was superb and was one of
the leading features of the evenings
success. The vocal by duetto Misses
Williams and Moore was also rare
treat. A march by number OF small
| girls added greatly to the entertain
ment and ali pronounced it as having
been perfect. Numerous recitations
were also rendered and all was we'll
worth hearing.
The amount of money taken in dur
ing the far is SIP. The association
expects to realize about $50.
The success OF the fair is far greater
than was anticipated by many.
