The prettily decorated booths had
been well patronized both days of the

remaining. All of these were disposed
of to good advantage by A. s. Burke as
auctioneer. The payment of five cents
or II twenty-five cent purchase entitled
persons to either vote or guess on one
of several prizes A barrel of flour
which had been donated by the Il. f

once sold at auction at a fair price
The nearest guesses to the weight of the

and W. r. Jordan, each having a guess
of 81 pounds, 2 ounces, the real weight
was one half ounce more than that
Their prize was beautiful sofa pillow,
which they agreed to return. TO the So
ciety, and it was soon sold for two dol
lars The counting of the wooden pegs

being 2,Sl7. Horace Craig had made
the nearest guess, 2 800, and received a
beautiful lamp. Alice Carney won the
pretty doll, having received more votes
than any other little girl.
Those who worked hard for the sue
cess of the two days fair and entertain
ment feel we'll pleased with the result OF
their labors, having cleared $12S.3S
above expenses.
