Under the completed registration, it ap
pears that the exact number of voters in
The Fair Haven wards is as follows: Elev-
enth ward, 1,1O5; Twelfth ward, 1876;
Fourteenth ward, 422; Fifteenth ward,
900. This gives total registration for
Fair Haven wards of 3,171. In the
Twelfth ward seventeen voters have died
the past year. Arrangements are nearly
completed for to-morrow's election. In
the Twelfth ward the voting will be at the
Quinnipiac rink. This is certainly the
most capacious and convenient polling
place in the town. In the other Fair Haven
wards, although the polling places are more
contracted, opportunity will be given all
to vote who they choose.
The addition and improvement to the
car house stables and workshops of the
horse railroad are nearly completed. The
past week masons have nearly completed
the brick front of the old stables. At the
corner of Grand avenue and Fillmore
street the front of the old stables were
moved up to the Grand avenue line of the
other buildings, and the space in the rear
built in. Now the wooden front has been
taken down and brick built in to conform
with the remaindero of the long brick front.
Four arches, with iron pillars between
them, have been built into the front of
the old stables, giving nine arches in all
for running cars into the buildings. The
front of the old buildings are gothic and
conform in style to the four gothic arches
of the new buildings. AS whole, the
railroad buildings are very substantial
and creditable in appearance. The new
brick barn of the company in Westville is
being built by Gallagher & Reilly, who
built the Fair Haven buildings. Its cost
will be about 81, goo.
A. M. Holmes has on his grounds at
5000 maple trees. He says that this
month and next he expects to take up and
transplant 1000 trees which he has sold.
Fifteen years ago he began planting the
seed of the elm His mother, who resides
in WatervilIe, Me-, informed him how to
secure the seed in the month of May as it
sits from the trees in a sort of bloom It
was not until then that he knew that
elms could be grown by planting
the seed. The seed for these $4,000
elms he has secured from the
falling of seeds into the street cutters
from the big elms on New Haven green.
He has planted this seed for fifteen years,
and nearly every year has secured baby
trees. The care of the trees needs consid-
cradle experience, but Mr.. Holmes has
succeeded well. A few years ago Mr.
Holmes mother forwarded to her son, in a
box less than q foot in length,
500 miniature trees. Mr.. Holmes set them
out and cared for them several years, most
of them surviving. Nearly all of these
trees he has sold to the city and planted in
tho new parks in the Twelfth ward.
Superintendent w. A. Waterbury of the
Shore Line division says that his elegant
$125 gold watch presented to him by en-
ployes of the Air Line division, where he
was for so many years superintendent,
gantly engraved and inscribed with letter
ing and dates, and is fine enough gift fol
q king. Superintendent Waterbury wa.

Air Line, and they took great pleasure il
presenting him with tho beautiful testimo
