Goods at the Country StOre--A
Clipping Party This Afternoon For
the Children.
Mayor Herman Myers and the Board
of Aldermen visited the fair of the
Church of the Sacred Heart last night
and from all appearances the visit
was a matter of equal pleasure to those
in charge and the welcome guests. The
Catholic Library Association Hall was
a blaze of light and bower of beauty
when the visitors arrived and were es-
corted by Father AIoysius and Chair
man P. ]. O'Connor of the Fair Com
mittee to the refreshment booth on the
stage, where a dainty supper had been
prepared. Mrs. DUPONT and her corps
of charming assistants were attentive
to the guests, and they thoroughly en-
joyed the repast.
When the Mayor and his aldermen
had partaken of refreshments they de-
scended to the main floor and surren-
dered, Internationally to the demands
of the fair commissioners who were
representing one or another of the ta-
bles and booths. The attack upon the
officials was premeditated and every
barrier was taken without repulse.
Some good-natured skirmishing was
done, and the visitors not only had
some things substantial to show for
the money given up, but had thrice the
value in fun and amusement.
There were, of course a great many
visitors at the fair last night besides
the official party from the City Hall,
Rossignol. the proprietor of the only
Country Store, is one of the liveliest,
as we'll as happiest men in the hall,
and last night he was working up new
features to attract customers. Fresh
Goods" was the way a sign read on
the store front, and on inquiry it was
found that he referred to a recent in
voice of hams, salt pork salt mackerel,
table salt and dill pickles. Mary will
have to go back 70 work tonight, for
Saturday is busy time in any coun-
try store. In the refreshment diVi-
sion Mrs. DUPONT was pleased to note
the receipt of a number of donations,
cakes from the Schaffer estate, Mrs. j.
Quint and Mrs. John Morrison, basket
of candy from Mrs. Brandon; Salads
Mrs. John Lyons, Mrs. Pat Gleason,
and Mrs. Lawrence Kelly.
The smoking room continues to be
popular, and this is only natural, for
here at very slight expense the weary
traveller may rest secure and surround
himself with impenetrabe smoke
rings. 1t is set apart exclusively for
the men and not even the pretteist
canvasser for a baby sack is allowed
to enter. The fancy work tables and
booths showed little sign of having
been on exhibition for several days.
They are freshly arranged every day
and many fine things added.
To-day, at 4 O'clock, the ladies of
the japanese booth, under direction of
Miss Aveilhe, will conduct a "clipping
party" especially for the children.
Hundreds of little folks are expected,
and will no doubt have a jolly happy
afternoon.
Saturday night bargains will be on
at the Fair tonight. Some auction
sales are expected and other interest
ing features.

the various tables last night: knights
