progress at Knightville under the auspices
of Merriman's band, was the occasion Of
an increased attendance.
Interested crowds passed from booth to
booth and the sales were quite liberal
while the refreshment room was by no
means overlooked. The guessing contest
is lively and there 10 spirited race for
the different prizes.
The attractions in the entertainment
line last evening were Robert l.. Whit
comb with his humorous Rotations and
stories, and Mr.. John W. Barbour whose
musical turns on the harmonica, auto

operetta, Red Riding Hood which was
presented to fine audience by the ladies
of the Universalist parish.
The chorus of thirty or moro voices
made up of young girls and boys sang
with vim and spirit, and in the first
scene Miss Mary E. Thompson as the
Mother, was very effective. She sang
sweetly and her numbers Come Once
Again Happy Days" and MY Sweet
Home were charmingly rendered.
Throughout she appeared to excellent ad-
vantage. Maud Moore as Red Riding
Hood and Emma Anderson as Buttercup
are deserving of great praise. In the
second scene their acting and singing as
we'll as the chorus ty eight "Blue Bells''
called forth the warmest COMMUNICATION.
Miss Finnerty as Rose was good, while
Mr.. Tilton's make up as the Wolf was
quite realistic. Mrs. Fred Cole made an
excellent Grandmother, and the Wod
man found fit impersonatioa in Frank
Smith. The setting in the third scene is
