CHURCH FAIR OPENING.
CIfy Hall Crowded 10 the Doors Lss Nfuhf.

City Hall Crowded 10 the Doors Laef
 Night.
 The fair of the Immaculate Conception parish opened at City hall last night and was attended by an immense gathering, the place being packed to the doors rem dering it almost impossible for canvassers to make much headway. The hall is handsomely decorated with a great variety of streamers. potted plants and bunting and the articles being canvassed are very costly and include almost everything in the linc of wearing apparel and house furnishings. One of the principal attrac- tions is the turkey supper from to II. which is served for 25 cents, and in order to give all chance to partake of the feast no admission is charged from to 6 o'clock Twelve tables presided over by courteous attendants were we'll patronized last night and it is estimated that over 500 suppers were served, a party of forty-five coming up from the Watch shop at the supper hour. These tables are in charge of Mrs John Ryan and Mrs J. J. Mo- Donald. Pancakes made by Street & Go If New Haven are in big demand. The tea and coffee department is in charge of F Phelan. the tea merchant. and de- Iicious drinks are brewed by a real China man. The fancy booth. in charge of Mrs Sarah J. Hayes. is one of the most artistic ever seen st a local fair and contains specimens of the handiwork of some of the fair sex which are sold at & very low price. Miss Nellie Leeney. assisted by Miss Mary Cresn. is in charge of the | flower booth. The other booths. filled with articles presented by local mer- chants, must be seen to be appreciated. The stage entertainmnnt last night was by the children of St Mary's school and was | a big success. Tonight the boarders and day scholars at the convent of Notre Dame | will appear. Dancing will be continued each evening with Bergen's orchestra fur nishing the inspiration. The voting con- test between the Catholic Women's asso- citation and the St Joseph's Temperance | society. will open tonight and it is ex- pected that it will be lively. The women have entered the contest fully determined on winning the prize and the men have gone into the fight with a firm resolution to defeat the fair sex. but it is doubtful if they can do it. The fair will coatinue to December f.

 City.
 NAUGATUcK, Nov 22.-The matter of finding ont what has become of some thirty feet of the highway. now Main street, north of Maple. will be the subject of discussion at the emeeting of the board of burgessess tomorrow night. The street from the bridge to the old cemetery,line was four rods wide. but has been en- croached upon until in some place it is only thirty-two feet We are assured that both parties who built on the west side of the street were notified that they were on the highway. As Mir Culver owns both sides of the corner property people connot | see how we can expect any pay from the town or borough if he Is obliged to open up the street. There is no doubt but that it will go into the courts very soon. as there are a number of our leading taxpay- CTS who will object to the borough being assessed any damages for what they think rightfully belongs to them. We hear that the railroad company also demands that MT Neary's stairs shall be removed from the sidewalk on Maple street. There was large attendance at the New England supper at Millville last night, over thirty going from here. Everything was very satisfactory.
 There was plenty of stage attraction at the fair last night. Tonight will be given the two act play "The Toodles." The members of the doctors whist club indulged in banquet gotten up by Wal lace at the Naugatuck hotel on Tuesday night.
 The Plumb Brothers, groceries and meat, on Rubber avenue. made an assign ment this week to John ]. Wood, from whom they purchased the store. One of the sprinklers on the upper | floor. over Glove company's machine shop, went of yesterday morning between and o'clock. flooding the shop and wetting the machinery and tools badly.

Fabulous Treasures.

England's collection OF plate for
use ut state occasions ut Windsor
castle Is something fabulous in value.
Its display surprised even Russia s
crown prince himself.
1t is generally reckoned to be worth
about xl0,OOO,OOO, and it is no I'M
usual thing for a state banquet at
the castle to have plate to the value
OF half u million in the room.
There are two state dinner SER
vices, one Of gold and one OF silver,
says the Omaha Bee. The gold ser
vice was purchased by George w.,
and will dine 800 persons. The
plates alone OF this service cost over
$4,000.
On state occasions there are usu.
ally placed on the dining table some
very beautiful gold fiagons, captured
from the Spanish Armada, which are
now, OF course, OF priceless value,
while the great silver wine.cooler,
made by Rundell Il Bride for George
w., and weighing 700 ounces, always
adorns one corner Of the apartment.
As sidebsard ornaments there are
pretty trifies in the way OF a peacock
OF precious stones, valued at $780,
600, and tigers head from India
with solid ingot OF gold for its
tongue and diamond teeth.
