CLAN FAIR IN FULL SWING.
Annual Festivities Being Held in How
land Hall.

Clan Gordon, No. II, o. s. c., and the
ladies' auxiliary opened their annua
joint fair in Rowland hall last evening
under circumstances that point to sue
cessful three nights bazaar. The crowd
on the opening night. was even larger
than had been expected. but there was
plenty of room and an abundance OF the
good things that people purchase and use
on such occasions. National colors and
brilliantly tinted crepe festoons figured
in an attractive decorative scheme that
embraced an array of booths at the north
end of the hall. II was the same old
Clan Gordon fair, merrymaking time
for all, with number of new kinks and
an "entire change of program" in the
way of entertainment.
There will be another reel of perform
ing tomorrow evening and if the ANA
teur thespians who are to tread the
boards or the second evening are half as
proficient as the participants in "a Jack
for Every Jill' were last night, their flu
ture is assured. "A Jack for Every Jill'
is taking little farce that offers un-
limited opportunities for funmaking.
Most of them-the opportunities--wer
embraced. There was dancing with mu-
sic by Carroll's orchestra and it may be
of interest to note that the same musi-
clans have been retained to do business at
the same stand tomorrow evening and
again Saturday evening There were
apron booths, fancy booth and booths
devoted to confectionery wares and kitch-
en- articles. Sportively inclined persons
had it out with fate or fortune at the
rife range, at the dart range, or along
the marge OF the fish pond
Plaudits were generously given while
the farce was being presented and be
cause the parts were uniformly well TAX
