some outside that the exhibit in the hall
was next TO Watervie. The hall was
tas;eully decorated with bunting in the
Grange colors. And many plants and
flowers with the booths made the hall
look very beautiful. 1t was estimated
that there were between 500 and goo peo-
pie present during the afternoon.
One OF he most interesting features OF
the day was the ball game, between Ca
naan and Athens, resulting in victory
tor the home boys by score OF II to II.
The score would have been much larger
and really as 4 walk over but costly errors
Tor the home team came near losing the
game
The dance in the evening was great
success, there being 1872 couples on the
grand march.
