in Academy Hall, where the fair was
held, were in green, and were very
effective. There were fancy work
table, an apron table, candy table, an
ice cream table, a coffee table, mystery
tree, and Uncle Sans Farm. This last
| article was the work of Mr.. and Mrs.
George A. Gibbs. Mr.. Gibbs did the
carpenter work, and the animals con-
shutting the farm stock, which were de-
lcidedly works of art, were manufacture
ed by Mrs. Gibbs ''all out of her own
head" There was good sale in the
Il
being sold then. In the evening there
was good entertainment. The gradu-
alton of the class of 1901 of the Illus
trated Collegiate and Classical Institute

other special features following. Uncle
Sans Farm was sold by vote, at 10 cents
per vote for any child now on the Hill,
and went to Thayer Quinby, good sum
being realized on it. Altogether the
ladies will net about 500 from the
affair, and they are to be congratulated
upon its success.

keep it running properly. Be sure and
attend the meeting and show your inter-
est.
The antiquarian party of Friday even
ing brought out great show of antique
gowns-artistic ones most of them, such

olden time was much less in evidence.
The "Scenes and Songs of We Olden
Time" which made the stage entertain

| the appropriateness of the costuming.
