Several of our residents attended the
Trenton State Fair last week, your cor
respondent among the list. The fair was a
good one in many respects, the exhibits be-
ing very interesting; fine stock, grand dis
plays of fruits and vegetables, poultry, ETC.,
the best we remember seeing, but oh the
fakirs, and the side shows on the midway
We think they are a disgrace to the fair.

The fire started in the ferry boat lying in
the slip, being jumped to the ferry house
Then the outher boat lying along side, also
a gasoline boat tied to the wharf The
large hotel on the hill caught fire twice bat
was put out by willing hands The loss is
total, as both boats and all the house APP
proaches and entire property was destroyed.
The fire boat "Ashbridge' came down from

bers, but could not save anything. The
loss is about $50, 600, partly insured
The fire apparatus of this place needs
looking after When the firemen turned
out to go to the fire Monday night they
found the pumps out of order and useless.

in order in case of such an emergency.
