 Runavay-A Grand Rally Expected.
 The new oyster steamer George Graves has
 built for Richard Law & Son of Oyster Point
 will be launched this noon at high water.
 The steamer is of 500 tons burthen and with
 the exception of the Gordon Rowe, perhaps,
 is the biggest dredge in the fleet. She is
 certainly the biggest steamer ever launched
 in Fair Haven.
 Rev. s. D. Paine of the Methodist church
 at the Four Corners yesterday afternoon as
 sisted at an egg rally at Haven Memorial church.
 The new schooner that Is being built at Hanseona's yard will be completed in few weeks. To-day the riggers commence their work. The vessel will be the first four mast ed craft ever launched in Fair Haven. Cap tain Stiles of New Jersey is to have command of her. Her name will not be disclosed until the launching. Preparations for the big rally that the local Republicans will hold at the Quinnipiac rink | have been nearly completed, and the speakers will be announced in a day or two. The Re- | litical rally ever held in Fair Haven, and | they will undoubtedly succeed. There was big audience at the rink tenn perance meeting yesterday afternoon. The oyster dealers are still bothering their | minds to guess where they are going to get ! enough oysters to last them through the sea- | son. All they can find now are of g poor \ quality. The Norwalk Sentinel states that ] the oyster dealers there are getting oysters of good quality and in as large quantities as | they desire. If this be true the Norwslk | oystermen are in luck.
 A team belonging to Farmer Wooden of Northford ran away at the upper end of Quinnipiac street Saturday, but was stopped 1 before much damage was done. The East Pearl street M. E.. church was ! completely filled last evening when the first of series of musical services to be given this \ fall and winter took place. The pervading sentiment of the service was that of ''practi- cal sympathy" the subject of the discourse by the pastor, Rev. A. H. Goodenough. The | musical portion of the service, under the charge of MT. W. Fl. Brown, the director of | the choir, who has just returned from four ! months trip abroad, is as follows: Preludium-I Waited for the Lord. .Mendelsshon S. R.

The need of new organ has long l been felt, and an effort is being made to raise the money to purchase one; and it is proba- ble that it will be built before spring. AL ready considerable sum has been pledged toward the amount needed, and as the church is prosperous one, with large and constantly increasing membership, no doubt the sum required-about $S,000-win be forthcoming.
