Boy Saved by Autos COlliding.

The only accident of the Caledonia
county fair occurred Thursday morning
when a boys life was probably saved by
one automobile being deliberately
driven into another. Just as George
Wright had passed French & Beans
wholesale house in his auto carrying
a good load of passengers to the fair
small boy ran across the road directly in
front of his machine. He could not stop
his machine and to save the boys life he
turned his machine quarter round and
ran into Howard Blossoms machine.
Mr. Blossom S car was scoming back from
the fair empty and as he saw the boy
first he slowed down and received the
full effect of the collision Mr. Wrights
damage was about SlOO and Mr.. Bios
som had to put $25 into repairs and
both lost considerable trade in trans
porting passengers to the fair. Mr..
Blossom attaches no blame to Mr.
Wright for the collision and the latter
deserves great praise for his presence Of
mind in deliberately injuring his machine
to save the boy 5 life The boy escaped
unhurt and none Of the passengers in
Wright's car were injured.

The WeStland Quartette.

The Bostonia Quartette Of Boston
composed of May Belle Grace Dadmun,
first soprano, Emma Schuteldt Moore,
second soprano, Alice Gertrude Coe, first
alto, Dorathy McTaggart Miller, second
alto, is now known as The Westland
Quartette, and this, their first season has
been a very successful one. Among their
many summer engagements have been
long ones at the Isle of Shoals, and at
the Universalist meetings at Ferry Beach.
The personnel of this quartette is an un-
usually strong one. Each member is
soloist of established reputation, and
while each voice possesses a distinct in
dividual quality the perfect blending in
ensemble work brings before the public a
combination of women's voices which is
seldom equalled. They furnish an entire
program or may be engaged with assist
ing artists.

Success for BrightIOOk Hospital.

Last Wednesday was a day Of success
for Brightlook Hospital as well as for
the county Fair. The several thousand
tags with which the town and its
people were blazoned netted, after
deduction of printing and other slight
expenses, a trihe over 5000. This sum
in itself and the generous interest of the
public thereby demonstrated, are alike
most gratifying,
The Hospital lunch counter, maintain
ed throughout the Fair, received a total
of 1929, which deducting $40 for rent Of
space in Floral Hall means $3.50 for the
Hospital Apparently the public appe-
tite was not so keen as last year, but
large number of people demonstrated
their appreciation of home cooking by
patronizing the ladies who were work
ing in the interest of the Hospital.
From these two sources however the
Hospital now has nearly $500 with
which to make certain necessary addi-
tions to its equipment-additions which
in the long run will pay for themselves in
operating economy. The ladesin charge
are very grateful to all who gave food,
material, time and thought contributing
to this double success.
1t may be Of general interest to know
that the Hospital management expects
soon to distribute some printed informa-
tion regarding Brightlook, intended not
as solicitation, but to answer wide
spread inquiries and afford clear public
understanding of the requirements and
benefcent work of the Hospital.
