The Art Exhibit.

The Art Exhibit at Odd Fellows
hall was we'll attended yesterday and
last night. Many exquisite and dam
" pieces q art have been placed
on view for the public and it would be
hard to divide which leads when one
examines the entire collection. Some
Of the ancient pieces are worthy OF
the note that they attract, as they
range from one hundred years back to
the days of the landing Of the Pilgrims.
A delightful program was rendered
both evenings and the art patrons
were doubly entertained Those who
missed the exhibit have regret to
chronicle, as it is not likely that Car
sen will show her treasures again in
rush.
