EXHIBITS AT K. OF c. FAIR.
A Scene of Great Beauty in City
 Hall

Hall.
 Another large crowd was in attend ance last evening on the big union fair of the Knights of Columbus in City hall. As on the opening evening, con siderable enthusiasm was shown, and much enjoyment was had by all pres ent. The stage performance was much enjoyed, and those who contributed to this came in for whirlWinds of ap- plause.
 This portion of the evenings pleas ure was contributed by Miss Mamye Daly, Kelliher and Keefe, and James Coughlin. Miss Daly appeared in black face and introduced some capi- tai coon songs, which were sung in a very melodious and pleasing voice The young lady is gifted ill the popular fad of coon singing, and there have been many Georgia shouters and coon singers on the professional stage here who are far from being her equal Kelliher and Keefe contributed their bright drum major and fancy paper tearing acts, and MT Coughlin did some clever clog dancing. Both these specialties were received with applause and evident satisfaction. Canyassing, dancing, voting and admfring the beaa- tiful exhibits made the rest of the evening pass very pleasantly for all who were present..
 The display of exhibits is remark ably fine one and in addition to the beautiful decorations of the hall makes q most imposing sight. Pass ing to the right on first entering the hall the visitor encounters the splendid exhibit of bicycles and bicycle attach ments made by Frank P. NIcEvoy Prominent among these wheels is the Tribune, one of which MT McEvOy has presented to the fair managers to be given away in the distribution Inn mediately adjoining the AfcEvoy ex- hibit is that of E. G. Kilduff & Go, which includes mems and boys cloth- ing and general furnishings such as are dealt in at the store. Next is a beautiful AIoorish den fitted up by L. II. Haase X Co, which under the soft radiance of the Oriental lamps makes q unique picture of surpassing beauty B. J. Finn, the shoe dealer, has an at tractiye exhibit of ladies' and gentle mems footwear in the next booth and beyond this is the Lake & Strobel Co.'S display of fancy clocks, jeWelry, sill yerWare and fancy articles. This is a very handsome collection and has nt- tracted much attention from visitors to the fair. Thence passing to the side of the hall the visitor comes to the Driggs Ss Smith Co.'S exhibit, which includes pianos and musical in- struments. Thage is also pianoIa and each evening during the fair a concert is given with this peculiarly tuneful instrument. Gurrans' have a pretty array of fancy needlework and articles in a booth that to the ladies is one of the most fascinating in the entire collection. ,AIoriarty's Water bury Furniture Go has the next booth, and this is in some respects the hand sOmest display in the hall. A massive brass bedstead with complete cham- Der furnishings transforms the booth into seeming sleeping chamber, and q cleyerly arranged scheme of light ing the booth adds to the illusion. In the articles to be distributed on Satur- day evening is a ma gnificent parlor chair valued at $50 which MT Moriarty presented to the fair managers The next exhibit, adjoining Moriarty's, is that of 1T. ". McGarry X Go, who show a beautiful assortment of spring and summer millinery. This firm has also contributed to the fair a lady's trimmed hat which is a beautiful ere ation of the milliner's art. Specially interesting is Thomas F. McGrath's booth, for in it are two workmen busily engaged each evening in malx- ing cigars. The whole process of mak- ing, filling, wrapping and finishing the cigars is shown, and the ladies find this industrial exhibit quite as inter- esting as the men. The last booth in this round, but to the ladies a special ly inviting one, is Thomas Kelly's, in which is shown an elaborate assortment of fancy confectionery. The refresh ment table, which is in the opposite corner from Baker .Kelly's. is in charge of Aolph Mann, the chef of the Union club, and he is in attendance each evening to serve the thirsty and hungry The entire display is re- markedly beautiful one and will we'll repay an inspection by all who are | interested in the mercantile industries of Waterbury.
 The amusement program this even ing calls for the appearance of Miss Alice Whalen in black face sketch. and William Hughes in repertoire of I songs. Both are well known and To- l cally fayorite entertainers, and they 1 will no doubt make the evenings pleas I ures most njoyable. Admission to the l fair is 15 cents.
