The two days bazaar by Leo council,
knights of Columbus, came to an end In
Festival hall last night i'm blaze OF
glory. About 800 persons were in the
hall, remaining until late hour to
learn who was to be awarded the Ford
automobile to be given away. Inc au-
tomobile was given to Miss Elizabeth
Cattanach and the mention of her name
was greeted with prolonged applause.
Miss Cattanach Is employed as book
keeper in Houghton Simonds store.
She Is graduate of the Brattleboro
high school and is popular young wom-
an. It is expected that the proceeds of
the fair will be about $1,000, but the final
figures are not now available
For two afternoons and two evenings
the fair was we'll patronized and more
than 1000 persons visited the hall dur
ing the two days. wednesday evening
500 admission tickets were sold and last
evening more than 800 persons paid to
get into the hall. All booths and tables
were we'll laden with useful and fancy
articles and all were well patronized.
That the members of Leo council are
pleased with the success of their UNDER
taking Is stating the fact mildly. Their
weeks of labor eliminated in fair that
was all they hoped 1t would be and the
financial returns will go long way
toward paying the expenses of arrang-
new quarters in the Richardson build
ing and also toward furnishing rooms
on the second floor for younger men and
boys who are not members of the or
der.
The hall was transformed into bow
er of beauty and the general scheme of
decorations probably was more extensive
than ever had been seen there. Green
and white were the colors chiefly used in
the hall decorations, and from the CELL
ing to the railing of the balcony were
suspended ropes of green and white
crepe paper alternating. Below the edge
of the balcony was a double festoon in
the same colors. Green and white crepe
paper was draped from the edges and
corners of the hall and Joined at the top
of the flower ibooth which stood in the
centre and was decorated with green and
white in checked effect with the letters
K. c. facing the entrance. The stage
was decorated with white lattice-work.
pink, yellow and white chrysanthemums
being interviewer in the lattice, while
broad white and green steps lead to the
platform, on the sides of which were
set palms and potted plants. Above the
stage were the initials of the order in
white electric lights blazing forth from
a pillow of green, and at the left OLD
Glory waved in the breeze of an electric
fan Each of the windows was hidden
behind lattice interviewer with artihcial
vines and flowers. The decoratio of
the hall and of the individual booths
combined produced a charming effect.
The electric display was arranged by
E. M. Goodenough.
Ice cream was served in the south
east corner near the entrance and the
tables were located behind railing of
limbs of birch trees. On entering, one
passed under a birch arch. Then came
the food table, where preserves and
cakes were on sale, the table being dec

chrysanthemums above 1t. Next stood
the candy booth in red, peoples and
miniature electric lights being used eX-
tensively in decorating The wheel OF
fortune and the six-ball game stood near
the candy booth. The six-bal game con-
sisted of six tin tunnels a foot
across, with holes in the centres. The
object was to get three balls for five
cents) through the holes, but the pieces
of tin were "in dibs' with the men who
conducted the game and it took much
skill to drop a ball through a hole Each
time a person succeeded in doing it he
