"OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS" TEA

AT ALBERTON.

—

This grandest of ihe seasou’s teas will be held at Alberton, the thriving metropolis of the West, on

Thursday, August 8th.

The feast of «-Oour Lady of the Snows.”’

The time—A feast rendered celebrated recently by Rudyard Kipling—the place, Alberton, is certainly charmingly situated and the centre of western commerce; the experience: Alberton teas have been num- erous in the past and always up to the level of the occasion—the determination: to make this in point of numbers, at- tractions and excellent refreshments ahead of the best. All these circumetan- ces warrant us in inviting the whole Prov- ince to come to Alberton and aasist at a tea worth attending. Let neither haying nor anything else interfere. There will be lots of time haymaking when you are dead. You require a day off. You'll be sure to meet everybody and see everything at Alberton, On such occasions the old féhew long made ¢¢quaintances, and the young make KW Obes which often ripen inte Kappy Giliances. And an errange- met of relief to the bashfa! bachelor will ? be affected. Come one and all to Albert- on onthe 5th then, and see the country, epjov the sights and hospitality of the people, hear beautiful music distoursed, and be made supremely bappy yourself. Besides the usual well supplied Tea Tables, a first-class meat and Vegetable Table will be provided. The refresh- ments and delicacies will beat the best.

Two Brass Bands will discourse sweet music throughout the dav. There will be Swings and Wheels of Fortune, and Dancing Booths and sports of all kinds. The best speakers on both sides of poiiti¢s wili address the gathering.
