FAIR NOTES.

James McColl. treasurer of the
Association, discharged his duties in
an efficient manner.
+. B. Fuller & Co. may be the latest
firm on the Yale business field, but
they wasn't bit late in the parade at
the fair.
The Fair has come and gone but not
so with the fair ones who attended it.
They are here to stay and bloom the
year round.
Miss Letta Meharg superintended w.
IL. Ballentine's nice display of cloaks
and furs in the northwest corner of
the building.
Dan Foley the goodnatured presi-
dent of the Agricultural Association
was present and appeared as lively as
a June cricket.
That "Swing into Ballentine's for
Bargains" was just too lovingly lazy
for anything. In the parade it form

actly fitted each other.
Among the Sanilac Centre band
boys we noticed the stately stepping
figure of Bob Mckenzie. Bob is getting
to be some on the blow.
Amidst the relocated tooters from
Sanilac Centre, who footed it up so
lively for our fair, we noticed the Daw-
son brothers, Dell and Ed.

Of the building made q grand exhibit
of cloaks and goods for the ladies
which attracted much attention.
When you attempt to beat the hack
lers on parade outfit, just remember
that you have started out to beat Scot
land and not make the attempt.

some very fine specimens of his handi-
work in harness. Leslie is a tirst-class
workman and was glad to show his

The monster druggists sign which
Will Lennon had in the parade at the
fair grounds was just as taking as il
was tall. Nothing could have been
more expressive of the art.

The Business Mems Committee and
the officers of the Agricultural Society
may congratulate themselves on taking
the first step in raising that organiza-
ton from death to life. Yale Fair was
dead, but now liyes again. There was
not vigor enough left to decently bury
the remains. Now it is healthy or
ganization, and with management,
organization and effort, such as the
gentlemen in charge have put forth on
this occasion, Yale Fair must come to
be credit to the village and surround
ing community.
1t is useless to say that mistakes were
made. Until men are so near perfec-
tion, that they need but wings to be
translated to the world beyond, they
must continue to make mistakes.
But, withal, it has been fully dem
onstrated that this organization can
be saved to Yale. We congratulate
those III charge, and especially the
young business men of this village for
the enterprise, energy and ability they
have shown in placing Iale's Fair in a
way to live. By commencing in time
another season and continuing these
efforts all defects will be overcome,
all deficiencies provided for and future
success assured. We want business
mems committee every year. There is
no doubt about that.

SPAIN NOT FOR WAR.

But Sagaeta and the Queen Regent
Seem to be in n Different Mood.
Madrid, via Bayonne. France, April
1.-Despite the efforts of the press to
work ND patriotic enthusiasm; the public
seems indifferent to the situation. Ex-
cepting among officials and officers, it is
rarely discussed. Apparently the people
are chiefly interested in the result of 81
big lottery just announced, and in the
preparations for an extraordinary bull
fight ON Easter Sunday, at which cele-
bra ton toreadors from all parts of Spain
will perform.
The people do not wish war; rather
they are Indifferent The feeding that
exists here prevails also throughout the
provinces.

M that with two other Americans. he
has Just completed a bicycle tour from
San Sebastian through Madrid TO Ali

than in one block of the New York

The Queen Regent is taking Il very
active part in the negotiations. .and has
thoroughly identified herself with the
war section of the cabinet. Her atti
tude is much approved by the officials in
the army. and has undoubtedly strength

Senior Sagasta said to n friend after
Thursdays council at the palace:
I'VE went in, seven men to seei one
woman, and emerged seven women,
leaving the man inside" meaning that
they went in disposed to yield, but that
the Queens patriotism and firmness in
spired them. AT the same time it is Fe-
ported that the Queen Regent is doing
much to avoid a rupture. The activity
of Count Dubslly, the Austrian Ambsts-

two days is said TO be inspired from
