BASEBALL CARNIVAL.
Next week occurs the biggest time
Island Pond ever saw, the baseball car
nival. Everybody is going and every
body is going to get cents worth of
value for every cent they spend. The
hall will be opened Thursday afternoon
with admission free until 4 o'clock, at
which time the hall will be cleared and
the regular admission fee charged. The
first thing that will attract attention is
the hall decorations, which will without
doubt be the finest ever attempted in
this town, being done by the Boston
Decorating Co.
ART, FANCY WORK, ETC.
The art and fancy work tables will
display an abundance of articles that
will be astonishing, such as paintings,
needle work, drawn work, fancy work,
sofa pillows, etc, all made by the ladies
of Island Pond and they know how to
do such work These articles will all be
marked to be sold and will be sold !;
first come, first served.
CAFE.
Promptly at ) o'clock the Cafe will be
in active operation, where anyone may
procure supper for % cents, which will
be the biggest % cents worth they ever
had, and it will be so good and of such
variety that all will patronise the supper
each night of the fair. This department
will be run continuously and after the
supper will be conducted on the Euro
pean plan, and one may purchase almost
anything to eat from cents up.
ENTERTAINMENT.
The entertainment will begin promptly
at o'clock each evening. Enough has
already been said about the artists who
are to appear, and in word they are as
good as could be procured. At 9 o'clock
the tug of war contest takes place. This
will be one of the most exciting attrac-
tons of the carnival, the work being
done scientifically, and should not be
COMPOUNDED with the old.method. After
