The Children's Fair.
Two or three of the LEADER representa
tives ran the gauntlet of fair eyes and
ventured into the Children's fair last
evening. Others may tell of the gay
booths and the handsome lassies who pre
sided over them. But what we were most
interested in was the New England sup
per. Mayor Gibson had been attracted
by the Boston baked beans, and was in
vestigating a dish with the same gusto
with which he directs the planting of
trees or tells of the advantages of Great
Falls. The beans were good and the
brown bread was the same as our mothers
Uled to bake in the old fashioned brick
oven. The meats and pickles, pies and
cakes were first class, and it kept an
army of fair waitresses bringing on the
Provisions as fast as the hungry visitors
demanded. We noticed there Judges and
Justices, County Commissioners, Clerks
and Treasurers and city oflicials, and
ladies and gentlemen innumerable. In
deed, it was a matter of notice that the
oldest inhabitants did not recognize one
third of the people present. So many new
faces have come in within the last twelve
months. Fancy articles sold well and the
gentlemen who got away without an
empty Pocket-book were few.
