The residents of Fair Haven are looking
toward with curiosity and interest to the
great bazaar which the people of Grand
Avenue Baptist church are to give in the
Quinnipiac rink on the evenings of Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday, March 3,
and 5. The object to be promoted by
this entertainment and sale, which has
been the fruit of a great deal of hard work
on the part of many ladies and gentlemen,
is the church building fund, a very de-
serving OBJ ect. Thinking that the many
friends of the church outside the parish
would desire to aid in the work it was de-
cided to hold a grand bazaar where multi
tude of useful goods would be offered for
sale. Accordingly 1000 letters or personal
solicitations to thus aid have been given
out-in other words, 1000 persons or
firms have been invited to contrib
ute goods to be sold at the ba-
Ear in aid of the object named
center of the big rink, where decorated
booths of odd architecture, will be erected
for the reception of the goods. In the
grocery department will be found almost
everything in the way of groceries and
provisions. At this department the man
ayers will be Deacon O. j. Hull and B. F.
Hines The miscellaneous department
will require number of large diamond
shaped booths to hold the accumulation of
furniture, cooking utensils, rugs, fur goods,
silks, threads, jewelry, perfumery, ETC.,
etc. The managers are Mrs. Fred Gilbert
and Miss Hattie Baldwin. The fancy
goods department will imbrace numerous
articles calculated to please the ladies. The
booth will be in the shape of a star.
The donations will be from the Ladies'
Connecticut Mrs. William Sheffield Mrs.
Emory L. Smith and Mrs. William T. Til
loston are the managers. There will be a
complete candy store with the best of con-
fections. In the cocoa parlor, where de-
licious drink will be prepared, Mrs. John
McGregor and Mrs. F. NJ Wiser will pre-
side In a grove of real trees ice water
will be drawn from real well. In the
paper booth birthday and Easter cards,
cards, fancy calendars, scrap pictures,
photograph albums, fine etchings, books
and periodicals will be disposed of. This
booth will be in the form of triangle.
Around the sides of the rink will be the
supper tables. Every evening, BEGINNING
at $50, supper will be served to all who
wish Patrons should not forget to call
on Darby and Joan, who will serve corned
beef hash and pancakes, cooked while you
wait. In the oyster room Dea. J. P. Mer-
row will serve his famous Odd Fellows
oyster stews and Mrs Morrow will furnish
fine escalloped oysters. The bazaar will
open each afternoon at and continue
until late at night. People who attend in
the afternoon will have, herhaps, little
better opportunity for selecting goods,
thus avoiding the rush in the evening. It
is expected that big crowds will attend this
entertainment each afternoon and evening.
On Tuesday evening there will be singing
in both Swedish and English, by the
Swedish Singing society and on Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings, the Dwight
place orchestra will furnish music. The
admission to the bazaar is only ten cents.

committee will be held.

Judge Thompson, who with his brother
Edward Foote Thompson, is now in Ari-
| IONA. on their purchase six miles from
Phoenix, a city containing 5000 popula
ton, in a private letter, says: 1.-The val
ley is certainly one of the prettiest places
I ever saw; nowhere else is there such 6
rich plain spread out for so many miles
but looking small on account of thu
mountains seeming SO near, and
notwithstanding the mountains ART
nothing but barren rocks, yet they are
constantly presenting differnt aspect,
which are most varying. There
will be at least 500 acres of fruit set out
here. X y In regard to our section
nearly all of which is ploughed and
smoothed you have no idea how handsome
| land can look Have about fifty acres
| staked off for figs and holes dug on thirty
acres. Our figs are so arranged that you
can look at them thirteen different WAYS
and each way stretching out of sight,
Sightseeing Tours on the Pacific
| Coast.
The annual spring sightseeing tours
through the Pacific coast regions announc
ed by Messrs Raymond & Whitcomb are
very attractive. They differ from thu
winter trips inasmuch as they are complete
sightseeing rounds with all expenses in
cluded for every day of absence. One
tour consumes eighty-two days and in
cludes a voyage to Alaska. Another omiti
Alaska, but otherwise is similar to the one
already mentioned while the return route
of the third is from San Francisco to Sal
Lake City and over the magnificent Denver
and Rio Grand route. Elegant vestibule6
trains of Pullman palace cars, with vesti
buled dining cars, will be used on all thu
railway journeys, and the itineraries ART
made complete IT. every particular. Thes,
tours will be among Messrs. Raymond 8
Whitcomb's grandest excursion enterprises
of the year. A descriptive circular of 19s
pages may be obtained at the Office of tn,
