Church Fair.

The social event of last week was the
fair held by the ladies of the Congrega-
tional church. Much time and effort had
been given and it was most gratifying to
have it such success. The attendance
was large, about 165 being served at
supper Tuesday evening. In the main
room there were three booths. One at
which fancy articles of all kinds were for
sale, was draped with yellow and laven-
dar crepe paper and golden rod and ever
green. The apron table was in red and
white and the candy booth, which was
perhaps as attractive as any, was done
in pink and green crepe paper with pine
boughs as a root. The parlor was trans
formed into japanese room at which
curios OF different kinds were for sale.
Tea and lemonade we're served by young
ladies in Japanese costume, who were
very well patrouized. An interesting
part of the fair was an old fashioned
bedroom and also many antique articles
which were displayed in room adjoin-
ing it. The farce entitled THE Mouse
Trap" was given very successfully on
the closing night. About $3.50 was
taken in all. The management desire to
thank the summer guests IN town, who
so kindly assisted them in making the
affair a success.
Sunday Union Service.
The union service held at the Congre-
gational church Sunday evening was
largely attended The meeting opened
with fifteen. minute musical service. A
chorus choir led the congregation in the
singing of some OF the familiar and stan
dard hymns. A violin solo, Hande's
Largo" was we'll rendered by Miss
Bertha Luce, and Mrs. Harry Hooker Of
Boston sang Lead kindly Light" by
Shepherd, in very acceptable manner.
Rev. Joseph Hamilton then led in prayer.
The address of the evening by Rev.
Charles Gray, a graduate or Princeton
University and student in Hartford
Theological Seminary, was listened to
very attentively. His address related
principally to the recent convention Of
student volunteers held at Toronto, and
he gave as lie endeavored to, an idea of
the spirit of that convention. The SER
vice closed with the singing OF "Coron-
alton"
