1t is not too much to say that the Col
| Club fair last Wednesday was success,
even beyond the expectations of III
promoters. There were all the usua
tables that 90 to make up fair and al
bountifully loaded with wares, and what
is best, all those wares were speedil.
converted into "coin of the realm" fo
the benefit of the Golf Club. Perhaps
the feature Of the hall, in the afternoon
was the tent and wild woods surround
iugs of the gypsy fortune teller, where
wonderful fortunes were handed out fol
valuable consideration. The fancy
work table brought in the most money
about ninety dollars, while the gross re
ceipts Of the fair and entertainment
were about two hundred and thirty dol
lars. The expenses were comparatively
small, leaving . handsome balance to
the credit OF the club. Never in recen,
years has Academy Hall been filled by {
larger audience than that gathered Wed
uesday evening. Many extra seat'
were brought in and even then some Of
the audience were obliged to stand. Tht
entertainment by Miss Marion Hallett,
Mrs. Wynifred Staples Smith and Rev
C. A. Knickerbocker, with Mrs. Cora S
Briggs and Miss Emma 81. Burchenal
accompanies, was one of the best evel
given here and credit to any country
village. While Miss Hallett mOdsstly
disclaims any credit at exhibition work
or sionalism, her dancing can bes,
be described as "the poetry of motion. y
Mrs. Smiths singing has always made 9
decided shit" wherever she has appear
ed and this occasion was no exception
Mr.. Knickerbocker's reading also form
ed most pleasing part Of the evening"
entertainment, and the grand result va.
success and satisfaction on the part OF
everybody who aided or attended. The
entertainment was followed by q socia
dance with music by Shaw's Orchestra
