Indeed, the election business yester- day was greater than just before a election.
 The minstrel company of Quinni- piac conclave of Heptasophs held an other rehearsal last evening. The chorus is getting into shape under the instruction of Leader Odenkirchen and promises to put on the stage an excellent performance when the night of November and rolls round. The will be given at Polar Star hall. Each members was given | thirty tickets and they are expected to sell them,
 The rally last night at Polar Star hall and the rally the night before in | the Fifteenth ward were all the polit- | ical gatherings held in Fair Haven for this election About everybody [ over this way knows how they wish ! to vote, and the holding of many ward rallies probably would make little diff ferences This has been regarded as rather of a singular campaign, and there are many guesses concerning the strength of the Fair Haven votes. The Eleventh ward is rather hard to bank on, as it Is liable to go either way by small majority The Twelfth lis normally strongly democratic, but occasionally goes republican. The Fourteenth is strong republican strongholdaand the Fifteenth Is usual ly republican, but on accasion goes democratic. So there may be quite mix-up when votes are all counted Monday night
 A little two-masted schooner came up with cargo for the New Haven Gas Light company yesterday morn l ing, just as the o'clock cars were going into the city. It was raining hard, an open car was running as an extra and crowds of people were in a hurry to get to town, but the bridge had to be opened cars delayed, which was unfortunate, but to be. expected by the people who daily go to town at | that hour
 The plant formerly owned by the Nnatonal Wire corporation, now the property of the strong United States Steel corporation, can start up none too soon to suit Fair Haven residents. When the plant starts, it is expected that many workmen who left here will return and many of the empty tenements will be reoccupied. Substitute Carriers Edward B. Fry CT and James E. Cain were on duty assisting in the mail delivery at sta tion A yesterday.
 Some of the dealers are, receiving shipments of oysters from Narragan- sett bay and from Greenport and the stock is very good. A number of the large steamers are in commission and are ready to freight oysters in the shell here where they will be opened for shipment Later in the season when the rush begins, several small lschooners from away will be charter ed At this time the business for the fall and winter looks quite favorable.

P, was held last night The lodge is starting in for the years work and expects to make a consider able addition to its membership be- l lfore the end of the season. Miss Olive A.
