list society, on Thursday and Friday, at

was brisk, and nearly all the varied arti
eles with which the several booths were
stocked were disposed of. Thursday
evening the attendance was rather light
ON account of the weather, but those
who were present were entertained by
A. L. Morse with some of his best
selections, and the exhibit of paintings
of Miss Thorne and Miss Brinckle de.
lighted all. Friday evening the three
act comedy, 1.-The Ladies of Crawford, "
was presented to packed house by a
cast of eleven young ladies, most of them
summer residents. Ii is a delightful
little play, and was exceedingly well pre-,
sented aud appropriately costumed, and
won much applause from the audience
Fortunately the evening was cool, and
the dancing which followed the play,
even though somewhat crowded, was
much enjoyed. The total receipts of the
fair were about Sl60.
