seats had to be improvised to accomo-

to the Church Choir for their rendition
of the hymns and chants, and also of a
very appropriate Atnhem during the
taking up of the Offertory. The ser-

Zurich's Fair.
Monday Sept. 14th was the opening
of the Hay Agricultural Fair. The
fore part of the first day showed signs
of rain and about 10 o'clock it came
down quite heavily and did not cease
to do so until about the middle of the
afternoon. Regardless of the rain far-
mers could be seen from all parts mak
il g their way to the Fair Ground with
their vegetables and other exhibits and
soon the village was in a lively condi
tion. The exhibits were larger this
year than anv other year before and it
showed how the Hay Agricultural So-
ciety was increasing. The seeond day
was all that could be wished for and
• large crowds could be seen proceeding
into town from all directions. The
horse and cattle exhibits were large
and as fine a class as could be seen at
large fairs. The Tug -of -War between
Stanley end Stephen was one of the
main attractions and we must cogratu-
late Steptien on its success in winning
the first prize. Every one who visited
the Zurich Fair seemed to be pleased
with it and the day closed leaving the
impression on everyone's mind that the
Fair proyed a success. We were pleas-
ed Mr. Editor to meet with your ac-
sqeulaintance and hope you enjoyed your

aup-
diherence we would judge that Stan leg
team was somewhat the hea.vieer
After some time was spent in arrang-
ing themselves the referee called them
to time and gave the word pull, and
pull they did, which !eked fully five
minutes, without either gaining ars
inch of rope, after which Stephen grast-
ually gained rope on their opponents
to the extent of two feet; teen Stanley
Made an extra spurt and managed to
regain their lost rope, after which. a
steady pull ensued for some minutes,
when finally Stephen exerted themsel-
ves somewhat with a result that
claimed a victory in the first pull. A
few minutes elapsed for restoration of
breath, when they again resumed their
positions, and the word was again giv-
en, but the pull was nothing compared:
to that of the former, it being an easy
drawaway for Stephen. Thus thet
prize was awarded to Stephen, they
having taken both pulls. Prize $20.
