h The East Greenwich Township Fire As
Esociation held Fair and Festival on FRI
Iday and Saturday evenings last. They
had erected large tent in the grounds Of
Joseph V. Clark, but the rains compelled
them to abandon it and the entertainment
was held in Clark's Hall. In addition TO
the usual refreshments served on such oc-
casions, they had supper on Saturday
evening and were so we'll patronized that
everything eatable was soon sold out. The
ladies had supplied a number of fancy ar
ticles, both useful and ornamental, the sale
of which went to swell the receipts A
contest for silver watch began on Friday
evening Edwin Sickler, Carroll Haines
and Earle Durham competing. The one
collecting the most money was awarded the
watch, while the losers were given fine
pearl handle pen knife. The contest
swelled the receipts over $43. Edwin Sick
Ter had collected $16.99 the highest amount
and won the watch; the next highest was
$16.27. Pretty good for the boys in a
little oyer "a hours. The net proceeds Of
the festival was an even hundred dollars
and the Association wishes to thank the
public for their attendance notwithstanding
the unfavOrable weather and their liberal
patronage while there, and also for their
donations to the boys contrasting for the
watch, all of which went to help along the
cause. Mr.. Fleck who delights TO spend
his summers in Clarksboro favored Us with
