A Village Fete.

To the Editor of the Every-Day Book.

Wisbech, June 24, 1826.

Dear Sir,—The rural village of Wisbech St. Mary, two miles west of this town, has long been famous for its annual exhibition of rustic sports, under the patronage of John Ream, Esq., on whose lawn they are celebrated. The enclosed bill is an outline of the amusements for the present year. Knowing you have a pleasure in recording every thing that has a tendency to keep alive the manners and customs of our ancestors, I send it for insertion in the Every-Day Book.

And am,
Dear Sir,
Yours, with very great respect,
J. P.
