HANDSOME SUM REALIZED FOR USE
OF THE FRESH AIR MISSION.
Amount Will BE Between $500 and
s1,0OO-Fair VIII Probably Be Given
Next Year-C1osing Night.

The Lockerbe-street fair came to an end
last night. A conservative estimate of the
number of persons who visited the fair is
5000 This fair was much more successful
in most features than the one last summer.
The net profits of the fair are between
$500 and 1900, according to a statement
given out late last night by the managers.
This money will be used to furnish the
Fresh Air Missions cottage at Fairview
Park. which was built out of the profits of
last summers Lockerbie-street fair. and to
endow the Fairview Park division of the
Fresh Air Mission with working fund.
About 500 will be spent for furniture and
the remainder of the $500 or $1,000 will be
given the mission to be used as working
fund.
Miss Lavinia Cakes, who was chairman of
the committee in charge of the fair says it
has not been fully decided to give the fair
next year, but that this will likely be done.
The fair was given by the residents of
streets.
The most popular souvenir of the fair is
the autograph copy or James WhitcOmb
Riley's poem, ''The Lockerbie-street Fair
He wrote the verses on the request of the
managers, to be used especially a SOU
venir. About 500 copies of the poem were
sold. and perhaps half Of them contain Mr..
Riley's signature.
The three most popular attractions of the
fair were the vaudeville show, the "old fish
pond" and the booth where the famous
palmist, Zoe Zoe, held forth. Every per-
Torrance of the vaudeville company was
well attended The profits of the show last
night alone amount 10 about 500. So many
people wanted TO have Zoe Zoe tell their
fortunes the last two nights that advance
tickets had to be sold. The palmist worked
overtime" both nights.
Miss Josephine Messings place as pianist
In the vaudeville performances was taken
last night by Miss Julia Kantrawitz. The
performance was about the same all three
nights.

A chief difference between the old style
millinery and the new is that less money
is now expended on the materials for a
nat than was formerly necessary, while
the price for the work on it is double and
treble what it used TO be. Fine ribbons,
silks, lacss and, especially, flowers and
feathers are all much cheaper than they
were: but the price of individual work
manship has gone up threefold.
This is why many bright cultivated
girls are learning millinery and why so
many cultivated women now turn to the
trade a resource against hard times.
Ii IS said, though. that there are many in
ferior systems of teaching now current
in fact, that some women who learned by
the wrong methods have had to begin over

that those ambitious TO get first-rate posi-
tions must be watchful and start out on the
right course under proper teachers.

Long DELAYED Patent Granted.

OF all the many patents, for improve
ment in graphophones, issued to Mr.. T.
II. Macdonald of the American Graphic
phone Co., the one which has just been
issued covering the principles involved in
the manufacture Of what is known as the
Graphophone Grand, is the most import
ant The application for this patent has
been before the Commissioner of Patents
for several years and it has been contested
at every step by the competitors Of the
American Ora phophone CO. Money has
been spent with a lavish hand both BY
those who sought to prevent the patent
from issuing and by the Graphophone COM
pany. Never in the history of the Patent
Office has there been a more systematic and
persistent fghtto prevent an inventorfrom
receiving his due. or a more complete and
absolute failure on the part Of the litigants
to win a single point in a long and hard
fought battle
When Mr.. Macdohald's discovery was
made known, Thomas A. Edison, claiming
that the alleged invention lacked the ele-
ment OF novelty, proceeded to appropriate
it and to manufacture machines and re-
corde of the grand type and to justify this
piraticaI course afterwards undertook to
defeat the application for patent Prior
to this, however, claimant came forward
who alleged that he had invented the pro-
cess Of grand record making before it had
been discovered by Mr. Macdonald This
contention led to legal hearings and re-
pealed appeals from previous hearings, the
result in every instance being the same,
until, after long delays, the case was final
" decided against the claimant He was
thoroughly and unequivocally defeated all
along the line and in the court of last re-
sort.
Then came a second hight, this time
with the Edison Co., which was in the po-
sition OF having openly and defantly in
fringed the Grand record patent provided
one were to issue. The contention OF the
Edison people that the invention was lack
ing in respect of novelty was so obviously
weak and their ground so untenable that
their tactics consisted chiefly of strategic
legal moves to delay the evil day that was
clearly in sight for them. But little by
little the debatable ground was gone over
before various tribunals, with the result
that the Patent Office decided that the
claim for patent was most decidedly JUS
tilted on the ground'of novelty as we'll as
on other grounds and the outcome was a
magnificent triumph for the inventor and
his company.
The principles discovered by Mr.. Mac
donald and on which his patent is based
are applicable to the making of disc records
and not in itself alone but in many other
collateral ways is this patent the most i'm
portant one that has ever been granted in
connection with the art of sound record
ing and reproducing.
