Waltz Contest at the Cadets Fair Finished
Last Evening.
Last evening was a gala night at the
Cadets fair. The Hibernian Rifles were
the guests of the evening, and their pres
ence in the hall served, to attract large
number of visitors. Another attraction
which tended to swell the crowd was the
fact that the waltz contest was to be
brought to close. Early in the evening
a number of the smaller articles were dis
posed of, and consequently a number of
people were made happy by being the for
tunate possessors OF the lucky numbers
which won the prizes.
Saturday evening the fair will close and
the contest for the gold watch will be de-
cided that evening. About 10:30 o'clock
last evening the finals in the prize waltz
were begun to decide who would be the
winners of the handsome prizes. Three
contested, and after a spirited contest the
prize was awarded to c. M. Welch Of
Providence and Miss Annie Shea of this
city.
