 The horse used by the Electric Light Co, being of broncho strain, evidently thought he was taking part | in a round-up Monday afternoon and | proceeded down Main street at a merry | clip with the wagon a close second. He didn't proceed very far, as the horse and wagon owned by Hodgson happened to be standing in front of their store and put an end to the happy thoughts of the aforesaid horse. No damage resulted except a few broken straps and considerable ex- citement for a while in that vicinity.

 The fair held by the L. A. and A. O. H., at St. Edwards hall on Thursday. Friday and Saturday even- | ings proved grand success financially | and otherwise, and there was an estimated attendance of about one | thousand people during the three nights. The hall was prettily decor ated for the occasion, and many bands of colored streamers from the center of the ceiling gave Q canopy effect which was very striking. The | two farces presented "A Marriage | Venture" on Thursday and Rooms to Let" on Friday were unusually | fine and much credit is due to those | who participated. The booths were artistically arranged, and although | only two concerns exhibited their | wares, the Anthony Adams Go. and the Electric Light SS Gas Co.,, both their exhibitions excited favorable | commentation. Many and varied were the specimens of handwork | offered for asle. The dancing each evening proNeu to oo a soAo7 oA
 joynent, and many did the light fan tastic to the music by Lynch's orches- tra. The drawing of prizes was held | on Saturday night, and in spite of the indictment weather, a good sized crowd attenied. Edward Mullins and Mrs. Schrier were the chairmen of the general committee and J. J. Sullivan chairman of the entertain- ment committee.
