who Attend Church Fair.
From all appearances, there is more
truth than poetry in the above heading
concerning'the approaching event.
AS the date for the Church Faii
which is to be given on Thursday, ev-
ening, April 18th, draws closer, 30 does
the general interest and anxiety OF
those who are instrumental in its pro-
duction and those who contemplate at
tending.
That the Ladies' aid society are put
ting forth every effort possible to make
this fair surpass all previous ones is
plainly manifested in the reports which
are coming in daily from every source,
and that which is most gratifying Of all
is to note the deep interest which is
being shown by individuals who former
ly resided in L'Anse. but who now live
in other places. We are informed that
it is very surprising to see the beauti-
full amount Of fancy articles which
are being received from artisans
from outside, and are being
sent in to aid in swelling the supplies
which go to make up beautiful booths
and still be articles of demand.
In speaking of the booths, we are
pleased to note the great change and
deviation which is being made by the
ladies this year from that of former.
With but one or two instances, every
idea will be new one, and thereby Of
fer additional attraction for those who
attend.
Referring to the brilliant posters
which have been conspicuously placed
about town, we find that the list of
free and paid attractions surpass everv-
thing heretofore had in this line.
The Japanese booth, which offers
some very novel ideas. is somewhat in
class by itself, while the Bakers
Chocolate" girls will be decidedly new
to US in the capacity which they shall
appear. Then there will be the Chin
ese Tea booth. the apron booth, the
fancywork booth, and, close by, the
booth where all styles Of Judges and
sweet meats may be found.
Perhaps one of the most brilliant and
greatest sought booths will be the SOU
venir booth. Here will be found an
endless variety of souvenirs, such as
post cards and books containing beauti-
full illustrations of local views, etc., and
large collection of souvenir speci-
mems.
At occasions of this kind the little
folks as well as the grown-ups must be
amused and the society has carefully
prepared for this in the way of some
special attractions. To begin to enum-
crate would be beyond our space limit,
so we will be content to name only a
few.
The first big attraction will be min
iature vaudette. where continuous
performance will be in session. A bill
consisting of several high-class acts
will be presented here, consisting OF
song specialties, the human serpent, q
pleasing musical novelty act and an in.
teresting and instructive trained ami.
NAL act. AS an opening feature fol
the vaudette, the management will give
free exhibition of Duchess" the
smallest ,high-diving dog in the world,
in sensational 80 ft. leap. This little
animal Iascends to its high and lofty
perch and at given signal descend:
like flash to the floor, an act which
often causes the bravest hearts to stane
still until the end. To appreciate the
wonderful acts which will be done by {
troupe of silver spangled birds, one
must see, as words are inadequate t.
express it in full.
Aside from this, in another portion
of the building, will be found an exten
sive collection of interesting games
and at great expense big. mouthet
negro has been secured, at whom tn,
younger element may devote their mo
hents in pelting with base balls ant
brickbats. Then there is the bouncing
barrel, and. as we have said, man.
more attractions too numerous to men
ton.
Concerning the big supper, we fee
that it is useless to spend any time o.
that subject, from the fact that tn
reputation Of the ladies' in this respec
is SO well known that no introduction
or comment is needed. However, W
may say that it promises to out-stril
those of the past.
In conclusion, we are safe in sayinl
that to miss this great fair of 1909 vii
be to miss the treat Of lifetime.
