Great credit should be given to the
| figures for maintenance of composure
i under irving circumstances. If occa-
sionally. at some unexpected situation, a
ghost of smile could be seen stealing
over the waxy features of a figure, it
was only rarely, for brief time and
under great provocation. The list OF
figures included a considerable variety
of subjects, and each one was presented
individually and put through its machine
motions. Was it funny? Well, the peo-
pie laughed till they cried. An extra
hour was spent in the dancing, by special
contribution. as this is the last oppor-
tunity for that amusement which some OF
the summer residents will have here.

out, Fred Shaw stole third. The ball
went down, and the South Paris boys
