DENVER AUDITORIUM.
City Can Build, But Bonds Already
Voted Not Legal.

Denver, July 4.-Denver has a right.
under it's charter to issue bonds and
build an auditorium, but the conten-,
tion Of Judge Hallett is correct that
the thirty-year bonds proposed for that
purpose by the city administration are;
illegal. This is the decision of the
State Supreme Court in the auditorium
icase.
! Following a favorable vote OF the
icitizens last year Mayor Speer pre-
pared to issue 100000 worth of bonds
for the purpose of building an audi
torium in which great meetings could
be held. Judge Moses Hallett, acting,
for the Clayton estate, fought the bond!
proposition in the District Court and
secured decision. There is a pro-
vision in the charter which says that
municipal bonds shall be limited to
fifteen years, and the ordinance pro-
viding for the proposed bonds reads
that they should run from fifteen to
thirty years.
J Justice Steele wrote the opinion and
the entire court agreed upon the
proposition that the proposed issue Of
bonds running thirty years would be
Illegal. On the point whether the
building OF an auditorium is a cor
.porate purpose within the meaning of
the law. four Of the justices agree that
it Is and three dissent.
third proposition that the court
passed upon was that the charter pro.
vision authorizing vote on the bonGS
issue was defective, as it confiicted
with another provision of the charter.
The court held that the charter will
have to be amended and the question
resubmitted to the people.

FAIR DRAWS VAST CROWD
Last Day OF Addison COunty's Calu
Week Huge Succcss-lO.OOO Greet
Governor BclI--Ihe Rnccs.

Middlebury. sept. s--This. the last
day OF the 6ist annual fair OF the Ad
olson County Agricultural society, was
a splendid success in all respects, not
only in point of attendance but also in
that OF attractions and events.
The Hon. L. j. Bell of Walton, gov
ernor OF Vermont. accompanied by his
daughter. Miss Adine Bell, and Colonies
Scarf of Burlington. Roberts Of Rut-
pert and Putnam of bennington arrived
here on the $50 train this morning and
spent the day as the guests OF tho as
s"clation with quarters at the Addison.
The crowd on the fair ground this af-
t'rno"n was probably the largest of any
one day IN the history of the society,
except on ono day last year. and had the
weather of the first part of the week
been anything like as propitious the
results this year would have been so
great as to be almost amazing AS it
49, the society mas far exceeded its ex-
pectatlons and hopes ad believes that
after the payment Of all premiums and
purses, 1t will have a larger surplus even
than that OF last year, which exceeded
$3.50.
Distinguished guests and horsemen who
were mere to-day said the fair was at
least the third best held in New Eng
land not being excclled by any unless
those at Brockton, Mass, and Rochester.
n. ii.
AS 1t was school chldren's day from all
over Vermont as well as governors day.
there was grand assemblage of the
young folks ON hand and they included
n delegation OF about 100 boys from the
state Industrial school Mt Nergenn"s,
who enjoyed their unwonted holiday most
thoroughly.
In the aftornooS the grandstand was
packed with the largest number OF pco-
pie 1t had ever contained. probably 1000
people or more. and there must nave
been fully 1000 people on tho grounds
when the races were started, somewhat
