The State Fair, with it's unwonted
excitement and hustle, has at last drawn
to a close. and if in some instances II
has been. according to the voice OF the
Observation-Disclosures members OF society

upon everything coming beneath their
notice-''the same old thing. at least
there have been special features that

full The large chorus of voca1ists. I'M
der the direction of G. A. Neale, mas
acquitted itself most creditably. and
much praise is due to Mr.. Neale for his
anagement. Kellars American
Hymn" is among one of the best num-
bers rendered, and on Friday night last
they received hearty and well-earned
applause for the brilliant Interpretation

Mrs Arthur Seymour, the Misses Cecile
and Gracia Carter and May Beville
made a wheeling party and went to
Patterson's Station. Incidental to the
ride two of the young ladies en- route
were, in some mysterious fashion known
only to expert cyclists, mixed up with
barbed-wire fence. The rest oe the
