B. A. c. FAIR OPENS.
Rowland Hall the Gathering Place for
MANY People

Success in a measure wholly unexpect-
ed by its promoters attended the first
night of the Barre A. c. fair in Howland
hall. Also, some hundreds of folks at
tended, folks who are satisfied that the
B. A. c. bazaar this year is running true
to form and will provide lot of whole
some amusement for its patrons before
the wind-up comes Saturday. 1t is the
third annual fair of the club and if first
night" returns may be used a. an indica-
tion, it will be the most profitable event
OF its kind since the club was organized.
An entertaining program included vo-
cal solo by Miss Leona Lamb and an I'M
usually fine exhibition of Highland dane
! ing by Leslie Mercer. The youngster
won his spurs at the Caledonian games
| in Boston last summer and added to his
laurels at the Clan Gordon fair later in
| the season. His performance last even
ing was eminently satisfactory and he
may be seen again in action before the
fair is over.
An attractive array of booths at the
north end of the hall furnishes thriving
feature of this years bazaar. All the
colors of the prism are enlisted in the
decorative scheme and with pleasing eff
feet. too. There the buyer could pur-
chase almost anything that his fancy
prompted him to desire. A bountifully
laden candy counter was in charge OF
Mrs Henry Petrie, Mrs. Alfred Morgan
and Mrs Bert Bartlett, who were assist
ed by Miss Margaret Rhind, Miss Mar
garet Alaberini, Mrs. Silvio Giudici and
Mrs. John Davidson. Ensign James
Parker. late of His Majesty's royal navy,
dictated the movements of those who
competed at the shooting gallery and the
spinning wheel. around which the crowd
was always gathering, was presided over
by Robert Mcknight and Milton Will
liams. Miss Emma Gerbetti and Miss
Belle johnson had their hands full at the
counter and the destinies
of the baseball game were guided for the
most part by David Mcknight.
