 The annual town meeting Monday drew out large vote. The license question was the principal Issue. There were 72S votes cast and 7I5 people voted one way or the other on the license ques- tion. Of these 369 voted yes and 346 no, leaving a majority of 23 votes for license. This result was not wholly unexpected. The town is republican by 70 majority us- Ing the vote for auditor as the test. Last year using the same criterion the town was republican by 129. This indicates that either the republican voters staid at home or else there Is growing demo- cratic sentiment in town. M. B. Fisk, for town clerk and treasurer was on both tickets, which Is a good endorsement of his work. The following table ehows the vote by districts, the successful candi- dates being marked with :.

The Fair.
 Ever since the "Zoo" arrived in town Sunday evening, there has been commo- tion. Mon lay each train that arrived was loaded with express, and the railroad people realized that it is fair week in Staf- ford. Tuesday, the first day, the weather was fine. During the day the hall exhib- it's were nearly all strengthened out. In the department of agricultural products there is about the usual showing. The other part of this hall, devoted to fancy work and exhibits of merchandise, will, as usual, please the ladies. The poultry exhibit is larger than ever. The midway exists, with it's usual attractions. The "Zoo" is the best drawing card, but the cane man, the Atlanta exposition, the fat girl and the caterers are all doing busi- ness.
 The stage attractions are unusually va ried and excellent. James Irwin, the fly ing trapeze artist, is all that is claimed for him. Both trios amused the crowd, and the acrobats and jugglers in their va rious acts helped to fill in the chinks be- tween the races.
 The bicycle races were the leading attraction for the first day. There was not the usual interest, owing to the fact that Newton is away. Bicycle racing without Newton is about like "Uncle Toms Cabin" with no ''Little Eva'' for Stafford people. If Newton had been in the races there would have been four or five hundred more people present, aud ready to do a little roofing for him. The first event on the card was the half mile open amateur. In the first trial heat of this race there was a bad spill. Nearly all the riders went down, but no one was hurt. In the final heat c. H. Drury of Winchendon won, T. J. Grady of Chicopee second, and A. R. Freeman of Versailles third. Time, LOT 2-5. The one mile handicap, profes- sional had three starters. It was loaf ing match, and was won by F. Baron Stowe of Conway in 2.21, from the 35 yard mark. Bowden of Providence, the scratch man, and Kelleher, of Springfield, fol lowed him over the tape in the order named A time limit of 1.10 was placed on the half mile open professional event. It had to be run over, and was won by Kelleher in 1.08. Stowe took second, and Bowden was third. In the mile handicap,
