 SIGNS OF BREAKING UP as early as o'clock this afternoon, some of the exhibitors began to prepare their proper ty for its journey back home. It soon began to rain, this set the innumerable fakirs and eide-show attractors to work at their belong ings also. A fine exhibition still remains, and to day, Saturday. if pleasant, the many visitors will see almost as fine show as on the preceding days of the fair. Besides the fine racing programme offered Prof. North | rup, the aeronaut, will make another balloon | ascension and parachute leap. TOWN HALL LAST NIGHT. It has been forcibly impressed upon the minds of the officers of the fair that the show in Town hall is surprisingly paying feature 1 Never before has this department reaped the harvest that it has this year. Every evening | the hall has been crowded to overdowing, and the sale of tickets has been stopped early l in the evening. Beside the regular pro- granme, solos were sung by well known singers, instrumental music was rendered and many other enjoyable features were in active progress.
 Besides an orchestra, the City band of Meriden rendered string concert during the ! evening.
 The receipts at Town hall this evening were about $35O and on the evening before they amounted to $500. The exhibit remains intact till this evening. One of the most in- teresting exhibits was the splendid display of elegant seal sacques and other fur gar. ments made by Burgess & Burgess, of New Haven. The Meriden Republican says that there was constant blockade of spectators about the corner occupied by Burgess & Bur gess.

 and Folsom, member of the New Have
 gun club, are tied for first place. The resul will probably be that the score made by Fo
