Cilley and N. P. Mead, Miscellaneous by Mrs. Oscar J. Smith, Doll by Mrs. Muhs, Fancy Work by Mesdames A. N. Williams and P. A. Lillie, Sofa Pillow by Mesdames E. A. Fields and I. Knudson.
Mrs Wise and assistants ran the candy booth in the refreshment department under Mesdames Geo W Raish and H L Waterbury. The Goose booth drew many nickels for small presents. A.N.
