TIE FRENCH FAIR.
Opening Evening Is Attended by 1905
People.

The opening evening of the annual
French fair was grand success. Tho
attendance was fully 1000 people. A
large number of tickets have been sold
and the event is assured the success
which has attended it in the past years
AS usual there are a great many
spirited contests going on among the
members of the parish, each vieing
with his neighbor in their zeal for the
welfare of the church. Valuable prizes
have been offered for those who sue
coed in turning in the largest amounts
into the treasury. Candidates for
these prizes are abundant and are re-
ceiving generous contributions from
their friends.
Saturday evenings program was well
rendered. The Lafayette Band, F. A
Dennie leader, was present and fur
nished music for the entire evening
In addition to this. the program of
literary and musical selections as an
nounced in Saturday mornings Journal
was carried out in full. The program
was well executed, each one who par
ticipated acquiring himself or herself
with credit.
hall. Long tables were arranged along
the sides at which a large number
could be seated. These were well pat
ronized during the entire evening. The
table on the east side of the hall is
presided over by the Societe st. Jean
Baptiste, and that on the west side by
the Societe des Danes DIES Ste Anne
At the rear of the hall is the Tancy
work booth which is in charge of the
Infants de Marie. The display here is
extensive and varied and it was well
patronized. These three societies are
having a friendly contest with each
other. A prize of $50 in gold has been
offered to the president of the society
which contributes the largest amount
as the receipts from it's sales. AS usual
there is a great deal of hustling, and
although the prize has gone to the En-
fants de Marie for several years, the
race is an open one and the winner
has not been decided upon and will not
be for some days.
Everything passed off nicely upon
the opening evening and all seemed to
enjoy the event. The fair will con-
tinue through Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings of this week.

rERPLExlNe QUESTION.
Will Cold Weather This Summer Hurt
Resorts Next Year?

The week which has just passed
marks the beginning of the end for the
summer resort season along the Maine
coast and from now until the hotels
and most all of the cottages are closed
few weeks hence, there will be a
steady migration of summer visitors
from the seaside back to their homes
in the cities. NA5@ - HrN
Many Augusta people have already
returned home after passing the sum-
mer at the various resorts. Most of
the hotels close early in September,
as the nights then begin to grow cool
and the children are called back to
their school books. BH9s e79nw@
In some respects this season has
hardly been up to the standard of the
past few years." said summer resort
proprietor recently. We have had many
more people than we had a right 10
expect but the reason is simple one.
1t was because everyone had engaged
rooms way back in May and June when
things looked as though we were 60
ing to have scorching old summer.
To be sure, the warm weather failed
to materialiZe later but then the rooms
had been engaged and they might as
well be occupied. The fact of the mat
ter was that they WERE
The months Of July and August. and
indeed the entire summer. has been the
coolest and most comfortable which
Maine has seen for years and only up
on one or two occasions has the heat
been at all oppressive. Even on these
occasions the warm spell has lasted for
but short time. While, as has already
been explained, the fact has appeared
to hurt the various resorts but little
this year the proprietors of summer
hotels are fearful of it's ill effects next
season.
Nearly everyone of means in the big
cities goes away from home in the sum-
mer to escape the heat, the noise and
| the turmoil for at least a few weeks.
Out of these thousands and thousands
of well-tO-dO Americans Maine gets
even more than her full share and out
of them a considerable portion of her
revenue is obtained. The great fear at
present is that cool weather this sum-
mer will cause many people to stay at
horne next summer in hopes that warm
| waves will be equally as scarce.
Maine summer hotel men have found
| in the past that the season following Il
particularly cool one is always poorer
| than the average so far as the number
| of guests is concerned. Unless the no.
| tells are practically full all the time the
| season is so short that there is usually
but little profit in them.

Farmers in this vicinity who have a
good apple crop this season will be il

tinent the conditions have been moro

the fruit is not first-class. For really
good apples. well and honestly packed

ments from the United States urge our
farmers not to undertake to export the
poorer grades of apples. as the cost o;

grades on which a much better price
can be realized.
