YE FANCYE FAYRE.
| At Mr McFarlane's Hall last night, the i Fancye Fayrc was continued, and there was ; a capital attendance, and most appreciative i spectators. We think that the gem of the Fancye Fayrc was the Maypole (lance, and the children who kindly took part in it were simply perfect in their parts. Miss F. Johnston was dressed as a Swiss peasant looked very nicely indeed. Miss Rosina Adair as the Village Maiden, was very nicely and prettily dressed, and so was Miss Dickson who took the part of Josephine the daughter of the Regiment. Miss Jessie Rosie appeared as a Shepherdess, and Miss ?4innie Tattley as a Flower Girl. Miss Nellie McT.ean was the Haymaker, and Miss Nellie Gibbons the Dolly Varden of the period. Miss Katie Fraser was dressed as a Flower Girl, and Miss Annie Holden as Cherry Ripe. Miss Minnie Forbes in a very pretty dress, appeared as Spring, and Miss E. Warren as Little Red Riding Hood. The dresses were all most appropriate, and the little folks acquitted themselves with great credit. Little Miss Maggie Adams as Snow was simply grand, and performed her part to perfection. Alias Theresa Townley dressed as a Village Maiden looked very nicely indeed. The , Punch and J inly Show under the able management of the versatile and übiquitous Mr Briggs was a great success, and must be seen to be appreciated. The Wild Beast Show I
was very good, ami the manner in which “Ye Policeman of ye Periode ” ran those unfortunates into the stocks was something grand to witness, but some of them “did not seem to like it,” some expressing an opinion that it was too (rood, and others exclaiming that it was all Berra well. Tonight the Fair will close, and we do not doubt for a moment that there will be a very large attendance, and that the proceeds of “ Y'e Fayre” of Gisborne will be something considerable and augment the funds of the Church for which it is intended. To-night will be the best night of the Fair, and Ave hope to see a pond art-nA •. n
