On the whole the fair of 1898 passes into
memory as d grand success In the evening
the young people gathered together at the
Good Templars Hall, and after listening to a
few select airs by the band passed the
time in pleasant games and social chat, with
an intermisson of half an hour during
which ice cream and cake We're served to all.
Then good nights We're exchanged and the
gay company dispersed to their homes, well
satisfied
