F ar and Harvest Pageant Most EIab-
 crate and uccessfuI-Reautiful Ex
 hibits, Athletic Events, Dances, Etc. The POmfret pageant and fair was great success. Visitors were present from Hartford New London, Norwich and nearer points. The members of 1 the artists colony, Misses Bault, Ste vens Peck. and Grosvenor, put great amount of thought and hard work into ! the project, which resulted in highly enjoyable affair.
 The Harvest pageant was the great est and most elaborate feature and the general affect was most beautiful. The costumes were designed to rep resent the different months of sum
 mer and autumn, also Frost and Snow took active part towards the close,
 as they do yearly in Mother Natures
 pageants.
 After the queen of the harvest, Miss
 Eleanor Ash, was enthroned attended
 by her court the pageant passed in
 review before her. Some of the lead
 ing features were a dance of summer
 flowers, a sunbonnet dance, a dance
 of harveSters, three part dance of autumn leaves. The parts were well
 taken and admirably executed and
 worthy of a city theatre. The back ground of forest trees with their beau tiful 'cOlOring, made d perfect setting for the same. There were many at traCtiVe special exhibits in tents. At the entrance of the fair Peter Murphy had a real Irish fair which was most interesting Mrs. George Porter had charge of an English tea booth, Mrs. Euorard served French chocolate, Miss Tecla GuStafS0n had Swedish cafe and Miss Bault looked after the Wal dorf- Astoria lunch tent Miss Louise Grosvenor had d very attractive per gola of native fruits with both fruit for Inhibition and fruit for sale. Ever ett E. Brown won silver cup for Westland farm for best display of fruit Miss Ellen Kies had an espe- cially attractive New England Loan exhibition which had great historical interest. MT. -HiscoX of Woodstock valley had a large exn,OIt of Indian relics. Miss Kies and Miss TdCEer, WuO assisted her, were d4""NcI in charming costumes of .h' past cen tury which were far more attractive than some of the dresses of today. Mrs. C. w Johnson and Mrs. Warren AveriI had a fancy needleworS tent. Miss Elinor Mathewson had 9 tent of canned goods, preserves. pickles. etc. Mrs. H. H. Davenport had bread, cake etc. all of which looked good enough to eat. There was sucn q crowd in the photogra phic exhibit tent in charge 1 of Miss Elizabeth Warren that at times people had to wait their turn to get in
 John Ash. Robert Rust and John Bain had charge of a large and att'aC sided over the, athletic sports and H. H. Davenport had charge of the work horse parade. which was one of the last features of the show.
 All are now talking of the show for next year, Sept. p and 26, 1914.
