 The ten nights fair of Polar Star lodge, No. v. I. o. o. F., was brought to very successful close at Polar Star hall Tuesday evening, or rather it was early yesterday morning before the management and late attendants left the hall. This fair has been worked by good entertainments each night and dancing. The festivities of the last evening were enhanced by the disposal of prizes, contested for during the fair. The greatest interest centered in the bestoWal of the first prize-$40. The award was by drawing the lucky ticket out of a box. The prize went to N. D. Camp of Woolsey street. The second prize, $10, was awarded to S. W. Par ker and H. w. Crawford drew the din- nef set. A, live turkey was won by MT. Cheever Bert Ellis had charge of the drawing. The fair was a greater success than that of last year and the net profits are likely to be about $500, to go towards paying for the recent improvements on Polar Star hall; these consisted in taking the gallery and adding to the same and fitting it up for a lodge room. The lodge thus pro- vides its headquarters in it's own build ing and saves the rent and the only impairment of the hall was the loss of the gallery. The cost of these improve ments was about $1,200. The commit tee which has labored so hard in pre- pairing for and carrying out the details of the fair consisted of E. R. H. Teeter, chairman; Harry J. Fowle, secretary; Edgar A. Johnson, treasurer; F. D. Brett, F. H. Page, G. A. Eldridge, Fred Fischer, E. H. Rowe, S. W. Par ker A. H. Ellis and H. ", Seeley.
