Of last Wednesday evening, even beyond
the expectations of its promoters. one
hundred and sixteen couples were IN at
tendance, the music was good, the supper
was good, and everything was all right.
The affair was absolutely quiet and
orderly, and it was a very enjoyable
time. They call it the "tirst annual BALI
now.
A story worth telling is that OF Miss
Harriet Newell, "Aunt Harriet" as she
is commonly. known. She is 30 years |
old. Tuesday of last week she rode
from her home in Sumner to the home |
of her nephew, l.. 4. Newell, on Paris |
Hill, distance of about ten miles. Wed
nesday she came to South Paris to visit |
her niece, Mrs. j. d. Haynes, went to
the fair, and wound up tue day by fall
ing off the piazza in the evening without
serious consequences. Thursday she
rode back to her home in Sumner. AT |
the fair she met an old acquaintance, |
Capt. BENJAMIN Maxim of this town, who |
is nearly 90, and had an interesting char
with him. They were possibly the old |
est people at the fair, though ). V. Ao-
bott of Rumford, 'Unele Vint," as he
is known, who was 90 last May, was an |
interested spectator of events.
Hotel accommodations in the two
towns proved utterly unequal to the
demand during two or three days of the
rush and jam of fair week. Strangers
wandered the streets by day and by night,
and kept the telephone wires warm,
looking for a chance to sleep. 1t Is
probable that most of them found the
chance, but it was rather discouraging
hunt for some of them. The lesson
ought not to be far to seek, for thrifty
New England people. Everybody who
has spare bed might as well get some
thing for it during the fair, either by
letting it to the hotels, which would be
glad to get it, or by furnishing it in
dependently. And there's more than
the direct and immediate personal gain
to be considered. 1t would be greatly to
the general advantage of the place to have
il known that accommodations can be
found for the multitude at such q time as
affair. Local pride and loyalty enter into
the account.
