BRILLIANT AND UNIQUE
Rose Garden Bazaar Exceeds Most
Sanguine Expectations.
Effective Jlecoratlon and Many
Novel FeatureN .Entertain the
Entire Village.
ASILY the most .brilliant
and unique affair of its
character ever held here
was the Rose Garden
Bazaar, held in The Car
olina music hall Friday,
over nine hundred dollars being netted as
a result ; a sum far in excess of the most
sanguine expectations. From the time
the doors were thrown open early, until
late at night the hall was crowded, and
guests of the Village, who were not in
attendance were difficult indeed to find.
Most conspicuous of all were the deco
rations, in keeping with . the name
thought out and carried into eftect by
Mrs. James E. Leach of Boston which
transformed the hall into a "rose garden"
of wondrous beauty. At the foot of the
hall pergola and colonnade effects were
the leading feature, the white columns
and trellises entwined with sprays of
roses.
At the right of the stage was a dainty
garden effect, the old fence supporting
sprays of roses, and about the hall nu
merous tables, many of them replicas of
garden houses and bowers, all decorated
with rose sprays.
The novel features included an old
fashioned well sweep from which mys
tery packages were dipped by aid of an
old oaken bucket, Mrs. Charles Sayles
being in charge and assisted by a bevy
of little misses, all in jmmaculate white,
including Virginia Sayles, Elizabeth and
Catherine Leach, Jeanne and Helen Far
rell. and Vesta Blake.
Hidden behind a high fence overgrown
with rose sprays, was another novelty,
one of the fair's attractions, the Mara
thon races, and there never, was a mo
ment that the strange little figures were
not racing down the steep incline ; the
visitor picking the winner receiving a
souvenir. In charge of the dolls were
Mrs. C. W. Middleton, Miss Catherine
Shauley, Miss Lucy Disston, Miss Mar
jorjeWinants, and Miss Carolyn Fuller;
all. be witching in white.
, Confectionery was made and sold in
the little garden at the right of the stage,
the "sweet things" being by no means
confined to those upon the table, but in
cluding the young women in charge as
well, all gowned in pink and white.
Miss Priscilla Beall was in charge, as
sisted by Mrs. A. C. Travis, Miss Con
stance Bigelow, Miss Pauline Firth, Miss
Ethel Barroll and Miss Elizabeth Far
relly, backgrounded by evening coats
worn by Mr. A. C. Travis, Mr. J. V.
Ilurd and Mr. S. V. Farrelly.
In the pergola, under the direction of
Miss Helen M. Child, refreshments were
served, Mrs. S. A. D. Sheppard, Mrs.
Donald J. Ross and Mrs. M. E. Baxter
assisting at the cake table ; Miss Flora
Holmes, Miss Harriet Benton, Miss
by playing cards and mystic symbols, a
black cat with glowing eyes, looking
down from above ; the entrance guarded
by Mrs. Leonard Tufts.
' Zenobi's fame had preceded her, the
first visitors came away delighted, and
the rest was easy. Stories of the start
ling revelations made by this wizard of
prophets and soothsayers, were soon
common talk throughout the hotel, and
very shortly the waiting list of those
who desired to look into the future was
a long one.
Five minutes was the time allotted, the

And last but ' not least was a myster

west corner of the hall, with an out

gestive name
ZENOBI. ,
in crimson letters below it, surrounded
visitor entering the cabinet to find a huge
owl glaring down from its perch, with
the striking. features of the gypsy out
lined in the half light; bits of bright
color in the way of draperies on seats
and tables,adding to the weirdness of the
scene. Not until the fair was nearly
over was it generally known that
" Zenobi " was none other that Mr. Kat
S. Ilurd, and even then, a large Dumber
were inclined to doubt the statement, for
Mr. Ilurd possesses a fair knowledge of

VILLAGE WINS FAST GAMp
. j
Star Battery Feature of Wednesday
Afternoon's Baseball. ii
Crowd of Several Hundred People
Wax Enthuftlantic Over Kuiuer
oui Brilliant Plays.
HE Carolina's found the
Village rather a fast ag
gregation in Wednesday
afternoon's game, losing
6 to 0, but a crowd of
several hundred people
found keen pleasure in watching a con
test that should have been 2 to 0.
Occupying the box and plate for the
winners were "Cy" Young and Jack Slat-
tery, and to watch these two stars was
an afternoon's entertainment in itself,for
they were artists and shone out brilliantly.
To be sure "Cy" was never much in dan
ger of straining his arm and he used
curves but little, but he was, neverthe
less, master of the situation, sending the
balls in with splendid accuracy and cover
ing the field when men were upon bases,
like a general. Slattery was as steady
as a clock, throwing with wonderful,
almost mechanical, perfection. Lynch
and Howard were the fielding stars.
Gleason and Norris were the battery
for the losers, Gleason pitching a pretty
game,, but not having the support he
should in the field, but Norris was always
on deck at trying moments ; the latter's
throwing being steady and clean. The
bright and particular star of the after
noon was right fielder Bailey, his running
catch, which saved not less than two
runs, bringing down the grandstand.
The Village started the scoring in their
half of the first inning, making two runs
on hits by Slattery and Eastman and a
long fly to left, which Kelly couldn't
quite reach and hold. Two more tallies
were recorded in the sixth, Young scor
ing on Edson's error, and Gale making,
the plate by Howard's hit to left. Again
in the eighth two men were shoved home
on a hit by Lynch which scored Walslj J
who had made first on McCorey's error;
Lynch scoring on Howard's hit over
second.
In the first inning The Carolinas had a
good chance to score but lost it through
reckless base running. Several times
later on they looked as if they might
make things interesting, but most of the
runners got no farther than second, and
few of them, there.
