List, gentles^ list to me, I pray, (I'll give ye many reasons), • The while I sing, as best I may, "' . The glories of the Seasons. Here may yc see a pageant grand, ; Come forth in pomp and glory, • Beneath Dame Arthurs' magic wand So listen to my story. PART I.--SPRING. The curtain riseth upon the Heralds of Spring, sleeping in the background at the foot of a grand staircase. Their sUimbe rs are disturbed by the sweetest of music, the song of the birds : . The thrush, the lark and oriole, The robin and the ousel, All cry. Awake ! fair Spring is here ! Come, join our gay carousal. The Spring showers then come forth to release from their long and death-like trance the flowers, and first the snowdrops, crocuses, tulips, and lilies of the valley, slowly rise from the earth at their touch. Spring, "jocund Spring." herself now appears, and her magic wand causeth the flowers to fully open and disclose. O wonder ! a troop of lovely fairies who step forth and join with the cupids in a merry dance, expressive of the glad awakening of Nature. The rainbows next appear, and encircle the goddess ever young and fair. Dance of Spring. The final tableau pictures Spring gathering in her hand the various rays which make the rainbow. PART II. -SUMMER. This scene opens with a procession and dance of summer maidens bearing garlands of flowers. These maidens be passing fair, yet not frivolous. Confound them not with the summer girl of the chestnut column of the news sheets, of whom it is written : This is the loathsome summer-girl. So frivolous and fickle, And many a heedless butterfly Hath she prepared in pickle. The butterflies flit in and out among the flowers. In the background is a huge bee-hive, from which issues forth the Queen-bee, who, after a dance, summons forth the bees to attend her and to gather honey from the flowers. The Roses now enter, and tread a most enchanting measure, at the close of which they form pyramids of these lovely flowers, surmounted each by a butterfly. Dance of Queen-bee. Dance of the Forget-me-not and the Fuchsia. As Summer passes from the stage — Tableau : The Last Rose of Summer. • , PART III.-AUTUMN. Kntcr a procession of girls bearing the fruits of Autumn, followed by children representing ears of wheat and other grains, and carrying sickles. Dance of the Hlue-bells. " Autumnal Dance of Indian-summer girls in a golden haze. Grand Tableau : Peace and Plenty — kneel and each make an offering to the Genius of Prospcritj-. Long may the three bless our beloved land. " PART IV.-WINTER. The Snow and Frost-Maidens enter and scatter snowflakes. Dance of the Sleigh-bells. Minuet. On the stage is a great figure of a snow-man, which is attacked by snow-imps and brownies, in typical Cana- dian winter costume. At last there emerges from the snow-man " Canada. Fair Canada," adorned with maple leaves, but " pressing the Rose of England to her breast," as in the statue which represents Canada in the marble group of America on the Albert Memorial in London.

When you come to the green picket fence on the north side of the square, forget not to lift the latch of the gate and enter boldly for within are some of " the sweetest Howers that ever grew beside a human door." And right easily will you spy them out. And toothsome dainties may there be had such as tickle the taste and please the palate. And of these, the chicfcst will be that new-fangled dish called ice cream, and some of it will smack of the strawberry, some of the Indian evergreen, vanilla, yclept, and some will savor of chocolate or of pine apple, while the fair keeper of the garden, Mistress Gibson, hath devised the caramel ice cream, verily, a tempting dish. And that none may go thirsty away. Mistress Gibson and her damsels will also furni.sh cooling drinks, to wit, the ancient rock punch, called in common Lalla Rookh, and a cup named ice cream soda. And this last flowing ever fresh froni an unfailing fountain, will be handed forth by one of the damsels of the garden, Mistress Walker. And for the comfort of visitors will bo set in order chairs for resting places, where they may talk of what they list while so they are refreshed. Entertainment, verily, for eye, mind and body, and " all in a Garden Fair." The Managers and attendants of Yc Olde Garden, are dames Cecil Gibson, Alfred B.

The scenery on this occasion is historically correct, and has been painted especially for this performance by Sir Fred. Late-un, P.Ra. Costumes : Worth, Paree. Calcium Lights : Toronto Lime Co'y. In order to intelligently follow the scene, the audience are requested to read the following Synopsis : Act L — A Cottage in the Country — The Village of Hamilton seen in the distance — The palings in front of the cottage are painted a village green, and contentment is seen hovering over the building as the curtain rises — Real smoke rises from the chimney, and a life-like Rurality is given to the scene by a mingled odor of bacon and clematis (registered) being wafted through the house. Act II. — Scene : A Court Marshall — Court Street, Toronto. Two performances nightly, 8.30 p.m., and 9.30 p.m. Doors open at 8 and 9 p.m. At ye Sign of ye White Rose.

Ye May Pole Inne. The hand that rocks the cradle Holds the universe in thrall ; But the hand tvhich tickles the palate. Has a dead cinch on us all — St. Jerome. Here, at the sign of the May Pole, is a goodly antidote to hunger and thirst. Within these hospitable walls arc displayed in most tempting fashion, the spoils of each county in the motherland, the concrete evidence of which must appeal successfully to the most fastidious palate. Here are comfits and cakes from the moorlands of the north, the pleasant pastoral scenery of the midlands, the charming hop-fields of Kent, the channel-washed shores ot the southern counties, the lovely lanes of historic Devon, and that Switzerland of England which lies on the banks of the Wye, nigh to which deep, slow-moving Severn — Severn, guilty of a maiden's death — rolls his placid waters to the distant and misty Atlantic. Here shall fond memory be touched and the jaded appetite tickled bj'^ a wise and well-ordered contemplation of that hard shell Baptist, the slippery and withal succulent oyster, Melton Mowbray pies, redolent of many a quick thing over the grass with the fast packs of Leicestershire, the toothsome bun of erstwhile Sunday-school picnics, the well-buttered crumpet and the sentimental muffin, dear to the heart of womanhood in every land, not forgetting that delight of simple and refined tastes, i.e., bread and butter cut so delightfully thin that you can almost read your title clear through its shallow depth. Such are only a tithe of the good things, born of a thousand receipts, culled from the cookery books of past generations, of buxom and matronly English housewives who have moved and had their being amidst the well-ordered and calmer civilization of the dear old motherland. But, you say you are not hungry — Well, admitting that (and the management does so, cheerfully), a consuming thirsi is still a pleasant and possible contingency, remember that The chef's best efforts of satiety is curs'd. The lirriV is ne^'er criticised by honest thirst. And where shall your thirst find a more pleasing assuagement than at this pleasant spot where the varied delights of curd and junket, Devonshire cream, Lallah Rook punch (shade of Tom Moore), iced milk, tea and coffee are dispensed at the fair hands of such charming handmaidens as the demoiselles Matthews, Parsons, Hesson, May Hoskin, Winnifred Hoskin, Myers, Stanton, I'orsyth and Daisy McMurray, and who, prettily costumed in the garb of dear little Dolly Varden, of pleasant memory, will dispense their wares and take your money and your hearts in honest compensation for the same. Come, then, O hungry and thirsty ones, to ihe sign of the May I'olc, which, as all men know, is set up on the north side of the Pavilion, whose hospitalities are extended to the public from 3 to 6 and from 8 to 10 p.m., »'-.ci who.se directorship is well vested in the hands of Mrs. \Villiam.son, Mrs. Harry Symons, Mrs. Alfred Hoskin, Mrs. Charles Parsons, Mrs. John Wright, Mrs. Klzas, Mrs. W. E. Wellington, and Miss Muttlebury. At Ye Signe of Ye Qoldenne Bubbel. Ye signe of ye Goldcnne Bubbel Stands over ye Kyckshawe Shoppe : Ye can fynde it without any troubel.

Here will be found the old woman of history sitting in her shoe and selling dolls for young, dolls for old, and dolls for middle aged people, each doll being peculiar in itself and unlike any other doll of the kind ; and here will be seen dolls similar to those dressed by Her Majesty the Queen, which will be found described in the Magazines for September. Miss Lillic Gooderham will be tlie manager of the old woman who sells the dolls, and she will be assisted by Miss M, Gooderham, and a young lady of uncertain age will represent the old woman of the nursery rhyme. Ye Qypsie Campe. Ye Gypsies, a list of who.se names foUoweth, and of whom the Queen is Mistress V. A. Hall, will be seen in their forest home through which they wander at their desire. The gorgeous apparel of this pictucsque band of rovers will at once attract the eye of the beholder. They will, if their palm be but rightly crossed, tell verily what will w befall by the spells of the teacup and the cobweb, and by palmistry ; ,but beware lest thou yourself be bewitched before the tale be fully told.

Passing within, through the encampment of the Gypsies, you reach Ye Cave of Harmony, a floral bower with many a twinkling light, and here, amid the broad-leaved palms, float strains of merry music, and an honorable player upon the harpsichord, the. valiant Esquire E. W. Phillips, presideth over the singers, and they be singers whom it were well to hear, if so be that you are a lover of good music ably sung. For they are not like to the singers one may any day hear ; but they are truly of the number of those known and acknowledged to be most excellent in the community. And go not there alone, but share with some kindred soul the pleasures of the song ; and if so be you are " never merry when you hear sweet music," then be not sad alone. " Stand not upon the order of your going, but go at once." Mr. Phillips will be assisted by the following ladies and gentlemen- : Miss Denzil. Miss Lottie Cable. Dr. Crawford Scadding.

Shield and spear, the latter guaranteed to have killed fifty Englishmen in the late Soudan war. Regulation costume for Nubian lady of rank.

Come, out with your wallet, and downc with your pelfe For your swetehart, your babies, your wyfc or yourselfe : You will gladdene their hartes, and wyn sweet smyles, I weene, From ye Lollipoppe Makers to ye Queene. Ye Pennie Whistle. All lads and lasses going to see and hear Master Punch and his good wife must stop on the road at the sign of V'c I'cnnie Whistle, and view the divers toys which a mere three-penny bit or perhaps a sixpence will suffice to buy. There are dolls which dance to music, and monkeys which caper, and beetles crawling as in life, and many other laughable things for to amuse both young and old. And if these latter are not them.selves amused, still they must buy of the wares for their children or their friend.s' children. And a curious contrivance is also there which will, upon a coin being placed therein, show whether one is a person of weight or otherwise. And the Dolly Vardcns who wait upon the buyers are Mi.stress H. W. Barber and her helpers, Miss Ro.ssie Campbell and Miss Mason. " There's nothing serious in mortality. All is but toys." Ye Punch and Judye Showe. This feature of the fair must not be missed. The entertainment is not only a source of great mirth and amusement, but is an educational medium of I'ncaf- culable value. From it much can be learnt. The triumph of virtue over villainy is .strikingly depicted, and the triumph of villainy over the rest of the crowd more particularly so. Housewives, garden wives, and wives of all kinds, and those — so numerous — who want to be wives, will receive gratis, without any extra charge, technical instruction in the last act of sausage making. Students of political economy will at the same time find a complete answer to that vexed question, "What shall we do with the Chinaman." The absence of an old familiar — and unwashed — face, that of Dog Toby, is to be regretted. (N.B. — There is no connection between this and the aforementioned sausage.) He was detained in quarantine by the Grosse Isle authorities, and in his search after scientific knowledge he crawled up the nozzle of the steam disinfector. He there lay down to sleep in peace, and awoke in pieces " Sic transit gloria Tobi." Patrons will kindly excuse our grief finding vent in dog Lntin— we know no other. The company is a powerful one. Punch proves to be a strong brew-ser ; Judy a portly dame. The play is full of surprises-Won-Lung turns out to be Wonderful, the doctor appears to know something, and baby does not disturb the performance. A novelty is the introduction of spirits, followed (which is no novelty) by alligators and snakes. The devil appears and is Sat-on. Professor Wright's band has been specially engaged for the occasion, and nurserymaids are requested not to make sheep's eyes at the musicians, as the harmony might be spoilt, especially as some of the performers are, unfortunately, married. All the figures are the handiwork of the proprietor, Mr. Arthur Oldfield, under whose direction and manipula- tion the performance takes place. He is ably assisted by Mr.'Joseph Allcott. The members of Professor Wright's band are Messrs. Fred. Solomon, Ben. Oldfield, Charles Watkinsand George Oldfield. Children's tickets, 5 cents. Adults, 10 cents. Ye Gilt Gingerbreade Shoppe. On the road to the Punch and Judy Show is the Gingerbread Stall, where at a modest price may be had in gingerbread of really fine quality many curious devices, such as elephants, horses and husbands, and the most curious are said to be the last, but of this there are divers views. And there are also gingerbread nuts, which all should taste, and veritable gilt gingerbread, of which the fame is known to each of you, from the words spoken thereon by Tom Brown in his Schooldays. The vendors of these are the damsels Jeannette Drayton, Gertrude Thompson and Alice Thompson. Ye Beehive. As may plainly be seen by the name thereof, this stall is the outcome of much labor, and on the part of many. The dwellers in this colony, in which there can have been no drones, have journeyed to all corners of the known realm of needlework, and returned laden with the sweetest notions therein to be found. Nor have they confined themselves to one variety of plant from which to draw honey ; but straying into other gardens, those of art or of utility, perhaps, all have alike been ta.xed to yield something to the store. And such cunning workers have they proved themselves that their honey is not in the comb, but is worked up inio many curious shapes, such as that of a pincushion, of a wee one's jacket, a hand-painted cup or the like. And strangest of all, one may safely venture in among the bees themselves, and even though he purpose carrying away some of the honey, yet he need not fear the fate of the fabled Bruin. The beehive is presided over by Mesdames Walter S. Lee, Albert Gooderham and Charles Wilson, assisted by Miss and Miss Mabel Lee. At Ye Signe of Ye Goldenne Crowne. Here will be found a large stock of fancy goods comprising everything which cannot be found in the other booths, and being a number of curious, fantastic, useful and beautiful articles, which will be gladly shown by the managers, Mrs. Skae, Miss Mabel Skae and Miss O'Reilly. Ye Devonshire Cider Presse With its luscious beverage, is attended by three trusty tapmen, good Master Headley and his staunch comrades. Masters F. Wilson and W. Pinkerton, who must wait assiduously upon any thirsty soul, turn the presse, draft the cider, and make returns of what bounty they receive for their services to Mistress Violet Burns, and her friend, a gossip. Mistress Thomp.son. These two damsels will duly guard the silver and copper and keep sharply observant that they be not cheated nor imposed upon by sundry sharp characters who infest all country fayres. Forasmuch as good Master Samuel Patterson, of No. 19, at Jarvis Street, has kindly loaned a fine new presse for the use of the tapmen, he is deserving of much gratitude. Ye Welle of St. Keyne. /Snonjf all the attractions of "Ye Oleic Englishe Fairc," one that should receive a visit from everyone, but especially from the young aspirants to matrimonial bliss, is the very picturesque alcove containing the exact counter- part of the celebrated Well of St. Keyne. To understand the merits of the water drawn from this wonderful well, one should read the following legend : — A well there is ir. the west country, and a clearer one never was seen, There is not a wife in the west country but has heard of the Well of St. Keyne ; An oak and an elm tree stand beside, and behind does an ash tree grow, And a willow from the bank above droops to the water below. A traveller came to the Well of St. Keyne, joyfully he drew nigh, For from cock-crow he had been travelling, and there was not a cloud in the sky ; He drank of the water so cool and clear, for thirsty and hot was he. And he sat him down upon the bank under the willow tree. There came a man from the neighbouring town, at the Well to f.ll his pail, On the Well-side he rested it, and he bade the stranger hail : " Now, art thou a bachelor, stranger?" quoth ne, "for, an' if thou hast a wife, The happiest draught thou hast drunk this day that ever thou didst in thy life ; Or has thy good woman, if one thou hast, ever here in Cornwall been. For, an' if she have, 111 venture my Ijfe she has drunk of the Well of St. Keyne ? " " I have left a good woman who never was here," the stranger he made reply, " But that my draught should be better for that, I pray you answer me why ? " " St. Keyne," quoth the Cornish man, " many a time drank of this crystal Well, And before the angel summoned her she laid on the water a spell : — If the husband, of this gifted Well, shall drink before his wife, A happy man henceforth is he, for he shall be master for life ; But if the wife should drink of it first — Heaven help the husband then ! " The stranger stooped to the Well of St. Keyne, and drank of the water again, " You drank of the Well, I warrant, betimes ? " he to the Cornish man said, But the Cornish man smiled as the stranger spake, and sheepishly shook his head : " I hastened as soon is the wedding was done, and left my good wife in the porch. But i' faith ! she had been wiser than I, for she took a bottle to church." The men and maids who are tc> dispense this mystic beverage are : The Misses Ince and Roger, and the Messrs. Goldwin and Lyons Foster. Ye Strolling Syngers. On Tuesday and Thursday evenings the Fayre will be visited by a band of Strolling Singers, who will sing several old English glees and part songs in different parts of the Pavilion These ladies and gentlemen are : Miss Minnie Gaylord, Miss Mary Jardine-Thomson, Miss Lillie Klei.ser, Miss Maud Beach, Miss Gertrude Leadlay, Miss Laura Sturrock, Miss Florenze Macpherson, Miss Anora Trounce, Mi.ss Henrietta Shipe, Mr. Cyril Rudge, Mr. Harry Coburn, Mr. Pegley, Mr. Woodley Musson, Mr. Alfred Sturrock, and Mr. E. W. Schuch. Many of these singers are well known to the public as performers of more than ordinary excellence, and their singing may be looked forward to as oqe of the most pleasing features of the Fayre. The Strolling Singers have been diligently rehearsing the music for this event, and will, in addition to the two visits already mentioned, give a concert, in costume, of old English music on the evening of Saturday, November 5th, at which the well-known elocutionist, Mi.ss McGillivray will give a reading. These entertainments are being prepared by Mr. E. W. Schuch, at whose hands our visitors may confidently anticipate a pleasurable musical treat. 1 Ye Cloake and Bundel Room Hard by ye enterynge of ye Fayre, is in ye gouvemance of Dames Pierce, Hewlett, and Damosel Northey. 3 1 Ye frequents of ye Fayre may putte in safe keepyng, wrappes, fayryngs, and soe forth, by paying ye dole ot five centes, untille it be tyme to quitte ye Fayre.
