In Memoriam MRS. OSWEDMCDOUGALL

Relatives and friends on the ‘is- land will regret to learn of the death on Ailgust 8th., at Rosslttnd, B. C., of Helen, (bratty beloved wife of Oswald McDoiigall, formerly of Falrvlew, P, E. I.

Through The l Looking Glass

(By B. O. LAIRD)

HO, COME TO THE FAIR

When the great throne Pushes its way through the main gates to the Exhibition, it enters an at- mosphere of glitter, gayety and noise unknown to any other form of educational entertainment. For beneath the belly-boo, the trop- pings, the thrills, the exhibits, the races, the acrobatic stunts and the whole glittering panoply is the ubiquitous money motive. Indeed everyone in any way connected with the Fair should be honest enough to admit it, like Buncle. who, when asked why she wrote her book, said simply, "I wanted money."

However, the altruistic aim of the annual Fair is educational en- tertainment for its patrons, Pfe- sented in an unique way.

Notwithstanding the general ef- fect of garisbness repeated to a great extent by the noise and showlnesls of the Midway), there are many points of beauty. Per- haps that cf the plants and cut flcivers in the main building is the most striking. Yet here the ex- htbils are so densely massedpn long tables, they blaze like jumb- led jewels wherein the individual loveliness of the gem ls lost. The Creator has expressed His su- preme artistry through the flow- ers, and ‘tis a pity that man may not express his in the arrange- ment of them, However, the wide rows of softly blazing color are breath taking in their loveliness. Again, beauty. the product of skill and talent, is displayed in the IDomestIc Science exhibit, in the Handicraft, ln the Art work. It tvas somewhat amusing to over hear, in the vicinity of the hook- ed rugs. a visitor remark, apropos of the beautiful work and its ex- hibitors, "Well, they haven’t any- tliliig else to do." One can almost bear a. chuckle from West Cope to East Point.

Down in the barns and stables stands the cream of the‘ Island livestock. Sleek and satin-sided. the animals bear testimony to scientific feeding and careful grooming. I question whether Prince Edward Island babies are as scientifically cared for as are these beauties oif the show ring. Of course no self-respecting baby would stand for the trimming, sliainpooing. "blueirlg," oiling and polishing these prize winners get. Beauty. too, is expressed on the race track in the gracile form, the spirited movement and speed of the horses; in the startling symuasilcs of the vaudeville per- formers.

That this part of the Exhibition is the big attraction for many is evidenced by the crowds that pour through the gates each day from twelve oclock on. Although the afternoon entertainment (toes not being uniil two, the best seats in the stands are occupied before one o'clock. Happily the discomfort of sitting for five hours, more or less. on the hard, wooden seats, ls for- gotten. for a time. In the passing pageantry of people. racing and vaudeville People, from a psycho- logical stand point are perhaps the most interesting of all formtiny types are present. The women as s. rule, are well-dressed, and the men, m‘dear, are a study in “braces." But who can blame them, with a thermometer climb- ing to the dizzy heights of the aerial acrobat!

Just before two o'clock the white-garbled orchestra swings into lilting tune “Oh Mama, go get ihfli- b9)’ I01‘ Me," and later into the enchanting marching song of the Seven Dwarfs. iWhat a burst of applause would have rocked the stands if the funny little men had matched across the platform; if Dopey bad danced "by prozy in the long-tailed coat!) While the various races are on, the clever cIoi-vtis are being funny, and acro- bats do their thrilling stunts. Reminiscent of s “niovie“ news- reel in which U. S. S R. soldiers rocket from lofty aeroplanes to the earth like flies dropping from a ceiling. is the afternoon's last spectacular act of a parachute jumper leaving a balloon. This performance, as well as that of the exploding fireworks in the ev- ening. makes one think sicken- lngly of China and Spain --aiid war.

The Mid-vray reaches its peak of blaze, glory. and noise when it throws a roof of light against the darkening night sky. Ferris wheels become fairy globes cf flashing light. The Mei-ry-go-rounrl gallons in a milky way of electricity and tinkilng music. Down among the fnklrs‘ booths, our old friend. Charlie McCarthy grins broadly nt. us, evidently here as much at; home its in Hollywood talking with Marlene Dietrich. The bally- hoo of the loud speakers add to the general clamor. Wheels of for- tune spin their deceiving rcvnlu- lions There ls the smell of sizzling hot dogs, spitting hamburg steak and roasting peanuts. Gypsy wo- men in flowing skirt-s and dang- ling earrings reveal the future, In- triguing, covered tents hide the Chinese Dragon. the Girl with the Horse's Mane-and the vi/hat-not.

And, because the days and ev- enings are warm. nnd dignity has been left at home. the great throughs of people drink Oceans of ginger nlc. ‘odes and milk shakes; spoon or lick glaciers of frozen cream. and in divers ways enjoy themselves.
