READY FOR THE FAIR.
Associated Cycle Clubs
Promise a Good En-
tertainment.

Everything has been done for the fair

low price. But as an incentive 70
members of the several clubs, prlzS
of $50 has been offered to the club
whose members dispose of the largest
! number of tickets. AS result tickets
| have been drawn from the committee
| in charge by thousands. Numbers in
attendance go large way toward
making the success of such an event,
and on that account, the success of the
| fair is already assured.
The management has many attrac-
tions. however to make assurance
doubly sure. Worcester brass band
will be in attendance every evening.
I Other forms of entertainment have been
arranged. Miss Grace C. Monahan will
give an exhibition, and her pupils will
| furnish amusement Thursday evening.
| Kit Roster a slack wire performer,

CHAMPAGNE SUPPLY.

1t is well known fact that there is
more champagne drunk in one year
than the champagne district of France
can = lduce in seven. 1t is, however,
not 50 generally known which countries
consume most of the French output
The statistics for the year ending OCT
Is last have just been made public.
These show that the district in ques-
ton exported 19,6SO0OO litres, valued at
81, 327, 552 francs, in that period. England
purchased more than half the total,
Belgium was second, big way from
England, with 2.77S,OOO litres, and Ger
many Aas third, with 1,S59,OOO. The
United States and Canada are grouped
together. But even then they have 10
put up with 1,419400 litres. Can this
mean. But, never mind sug-
gests a writer in the Philadelphia
Press, lit most probably means that we
are true to California, on the one hand
and Kentucky on the other. 1t might
be that the Dreyfus case was to blame,
We're it not that Russia, that ally Of
France. is satisfied with fifth place,
and 49S 800 litreS.
