The Pavilion was decorated and set apart for the ladies, as was the upper room of the Bazaar building, where, throughout the afternoon, all lands of delicious refreshments were pressed upon 'all comers. Everywhere were to be noted kindly looks and friendly salutations. It was an un- doubted tendering of the hand of friendship.
