Od*» member lent her house and garden for the purpose, and a marquee was erected for the produce and a small tont for the fortune-teller. Tho Vho’o district had been canvarsed for |pfts, and there was a very liberal response. Fruit and vegetables, cakes and sweets, pies and pastry, poultry, petted meat, cooked ham and. sucking pig. and all kinds of dainties were for sale; and found ready buyers.
