Peninsula Faia.

Peninsula Faif.
The Peninsula Fair of this year was
an unquestioned success In all re-
spects.
The attendance, large every day,
reached about 1000 on the second
day and from 5000 to 5000 people on
third day.
The exhibits in the ladies' departs
ment was very fine and in quantity
all that could be desired. In the
other departments the exhibits also
were we'll up to the standard OF ex-
cellence but not so full as they ought
to have been.
The amusements promised by the
authorities gave, we believe, general
satisfaction to those in attendance.
Fine weather prevailed during the
fair and the gathering each day, in
mense as it was, was a happy and
orderly one.

went to Taylor and demanded that he
