Second Annual Grange Fair Was a
Great Success.

Great Success.
The second annual fair of River
side Grange was held last Thursday,
Oct 6. A lovely day and a big
crowd gathered at Mechanics Hall.
Dinner was served to about 200 and
all enjoyed the summer-like weather.
On arriving at the hall the fine dis
play of vegetables, poultry, pet
animals, horses and cattle was a
source of interest. An inspection of
the floral hall proved conclusively
that a Grange fair would fail without
the help of woman. A beautiful dis
play of plants in boon attracted the
eye of plant lovers. A lovely Gala
lily by Mrs. A. Craig was the delight
of all beholders. Other plants were
shown by Mrs. A. E. Weed, Mrs. A.
Hicks, Mrs. H. Hoffman. Grace Col
Inns had a good display of canned
fruit, beautiful embroidery, fancy
work, bed quilts, rugs, burnt wood,
and antiques. Among the latter was
a pair of sandals worn in the Holy
Land, brought in by w. A. Smith, a
small plate by Mrs. Gerry 100 years
old, and other things too numerous
to mention. A crystal cane by A.
Craig which came from the Straits of
Gibraltar to Scotland and was
brought to this country by an uncle
a curious cherry twig which grew on
the mountain were shown by William
Sherburne. G. E. Goss' store was
well represented by men and boys
clothing, horse blankets, robes and
harnesses. Fred Barber displayed
his beautiful Chinese pictures done
in silk by hand which were very in
teresti2g. Among the pets Ralph
Dean hao tame squirrel and Flor
ence Dean a cage of kittens, five in
number, Exelia Reed a pair of
kittens. After dinner the races be-
gan. The trotting race between
Hanscom of Sheffield and 1. K. Gray
was won by Gray amid the cheers of
the crowd. The running race by the
boys horseback was won by Cyrus
Stafford which would have been fine
but for an accident. One boy was
thrown from his horse and hurt quite
badly. DIR. Mcdowell arrived and
sewed up quite cash in his head
and he is doing as Wei as can be ex-
pected.
