 And do you wonder, dear reader, that when sll these vendors were shouting their wares that there was grand con- cert of sound? They were all after that dollar and judging by the smiles on many countenances in some instances they reaped harvest. But this is one of the features of fairs nowadays and 8 good many people would miss them if they were kept out.
 The restaurant privilege on the grounds | was given to Mrs Hogan of Kent, who gave good bill of fare. The food was nicely cooked and she had an attentive corps of walters. She gave excellent satisfaction, both to the public and the Fair managers.
 Of course there was a fortune teller there, Princess Cecelia, and we learned she told the fortune of 8 friend of ours l was soon to be married and to very attractive young lady. We wonder ii she is correct?
 Other parties who had booths on the
 "Midway" were U. Smith, soft drinks
 and frapkforters, William Singer, jewel
 ", H. Blisa, fish pond, Redfield &
 Carney, soft drinks.
