Miss Mabel Fairfax and J. r. Wash
barn rendered l." cancan de Piclrot ct
Pierrettc. "A typical French cabaret dance
in costume. Miss Fairfax showed many
of the steps which sh" used in her spec
ialty in vaudeville with William Rock,
aud others which she exhibited at the
MIliOn-Dollar Pier at Atlantic City. Mr.
Washburn is also an experienced artist
being graduate of the Imperial Rus
sian Ballet The managers of the fete
were fortunate in the fact that the
war had prevented this CoupI" from MAX
ing a tour this year in Europe.
Every ones pet dog WAS entered for
the dog show. in charG" of Miss Jean
Iinrkey. and after her early departure
from the grounds no one seemed to know
just whose pets were the winners. The
general impression seemed to he that
every dog had his blue ribbon.
Enough BInc Ribbons.
There were enough blue ribbons TO go
around sad Walter II. Howard as
sistant bar keep. philosophically. so
why shouldn't every dog have a prize?
That way no ones feelings are hurt"
And just then some ones darling English
sheep dog passed by proudly wearing his
blue decoration to show just how ha Rpy
winning canine really feels.
The bar was presided over by Basil
Miles. head tender. and his assistant.
Walter II. Howard. When asked whether
the bar had been financially successful,
Mr.. Howard said. cautiously: we are
willing to say that we have cleared ex-
penses That is all We will say. for if
the Excise Board only knew how much
We have taken in they might withdraw
our licencc.'
