1.-THE County Fair" was auspiciously
opened at Polar Star hall last evening
Certainly this is one of the prettiest
fairs given in this city in long while
Polar Star hall, with its unique and
artistic decorations, never looked pref
tier. AS one enters the striking feat
ure is the town hall elected on the
stage. Ascending the wide stairway
into the hall building, one sees a varied
display of fancy work, in charge OF
members Of the Farther Lights of the
Grand Avenue Baptist church, under
the auspices of which church this en-
tertainment is being held. Back of the
town hall, and to the right, is the NOV
ing picture show, and near by is a
large display of useful articles, such
as holders aprons, ETC., in charge OF
members Of the Ladies' Aid society.
Beneath the town hall is a large and
finely arranged exhibit Of womans
work.
AS one enters the hall, and to the
right, is the ice cream room, with dec
Orations of white and blue, and on the
left the gypsy tent, palmist. Beyond,
in the form of an auto, CONNECTIONS are
sold, a lattice of real honeysuckle add
ing to Its attractiveness. At the left
is the peanut booth, its roof matched
with straw. Beyond is real lunch
wagon, where they were doing a thriv-
ing business. Farther up the hall is
the postal card booth, where cards are
bought and mailed; this booth is pref
lilly trimmed with flags. Still another
wagon is where bushels of popcorn are
sold. In the center of the hall is the
bandstand, where an orchestra dis
courses music every evening. In the
center is a flagstaff surmounted with a
flag.
In the basement are exhibits of ami
mails, fruit, groceries and vegetables,
much like county fair, and these
goods are also on sale Several local
merchants have exhibits here. At at
tractive display stands one can get a
luncheon Of frankfurts, pie, raw oys-
tiers and lemonade, and in the pretty
Japanese tea room tea and cocoa are
sold. There also are games, such as
tossing the rings and quoits, and many
other attractions. An attractive and
unique feature is the parade of bust
ness wagons around the hall each even
ing.
The county fair will continue three
evenings longer, coming to close or
Friday evening, and all should take a
peep into Polar Star hall before il
closes.
Coal men are storing coal now for
the winter Many big bins have beer
filled of late, the weather having beer
very good for navigation, but the heavy
windsor the past few days have inter.
fered with navigation considerably and
not many arrivals are expected for the
remainder of the week.
Harry G. Konold, of the firm Of Ko-
mold & Co., who is a well-known fox
hunter has no fox hound this season
a well-trained dog having run away
from him the past summer. Mr., Ko-
mold has no idea where the dog disap-
peared to, but thinks it quite possible
that he was killed on the railroad. II
Mr.. Konold can get a good fox dog
during the winter, however, he will be
likely to bag at least half dozen
foxes.
Now that the isolation hospital will
have another chance before the COM
mittee, it is expected that there will be
big delegation present from Fair Ha-
ven to protest against locating it or
Clinton avenue. The last hearing was
not advertised extensively, but there is
no lack in this regard at present.
Some thermometers in this section
recorded zero early yesterday morning
although that was four degrees below
the official mark. Anyway, it was al
most record breaker At this rate the
icehouses in this vicinity ought to be at
least half filled before the month is
out.
L. J. Bristol has sold his two-family
house at 1s1 Exchange street to Mrs

tinue to reside in his part of the house
until he procures another home. He is
thinking now of building.
