FAIR HAVEN AND NASHVILLE
 RAILROAD COMPANY.

At the regular annual meeting of the
 stockholders of the Winchester avenue line held on Monday afternoon it was
 reported that most of the stock of that corporation had been exchanged for
 that of the Fair Haven and Westville
 and that two of the principal directors of the Winchester line had resigned by
 reason of this exchange. In consequence the entire directorate of the Fair Ha- ven and Westville road was elected to \ that of the Winchester, and MT. Spen- cer, who is secretary of the latter road, | was also retained as director of that
 road, making nine in all. The resign ing directors were s. Harrison Wagner | and A. E. Pond, formerly. superinten-
 dent of the Winchester avenue line. General S. E. Merwin and Hayes Q. Trowbridge were elected to fill the va 1 cancies. The merger of the two com
 panies is now practically completed
 only small amount of the Winchester stock being retained by the stockhold- CTS. It is thought that this will all be
 soon exchanged for the recent issue of Fair Haven and Westville stock, and that the Winchester Avenue company
 will then cease to exist.

TOMORROW NIGHTS FEATURES
Fireworks Exhibition at Savin Rock,
 n,.d 4l.A T2inn Hrn,,l,.rilln Cl,1rIs

Fireworks Exhibition at" Savin Rock, and the Big Vaudeville Show. Fireworks will be one of the features at Savin Rock tomorrow night. There will be an elaborate display of set pieces, besides a number of the scream- ing, screeching bombs. . So many numbers on the programme at the Savin Rock theater receove about equal approbation of the audience that | it is impossible to select one more than another as the best All the acts differ, and they are the best of their kind. For instance, Baroness Won zeiger, who has been called the Swedish nightingale, captivates, the audience with her marvellous soprano voice. She ! also selects her songs most diplomati- cally,a the. heavy opera arias dividing
 honors with the lighter songs of the De
 Koven style.
 Hellman is another feature that Is
 making a hit. He is a magician of much merit, and his clever work is watched with open-eyed wonder by all who visit this place. His cleverest trick, and one that is creating a great deal of gossip, is the one in which he produces a live canary from an empty
 bag while spectators hold him by both wrists.
 Greve and Green create a great deal of mirth in their music specialties, be-
 sides displaying no little artistic ability,
 and keep the house in roars of laughter with their trick dogs. Jackson and his mother, too, are ir-
 teresting people. The little fellow is clever musician. besides being some l what of comedian.
 The Three Nonpareils do a German military sketch that is very funny. During the ''foolishness" there is some difficult musket juggling and twirling, and an imitation of Hebrew soldier in Japan.
