FoREsTERs' FAIR.
Big Attendance Last Evening at
 Opening Exercises,

|
 Notwithstanding the inclement weather the Foresters' fair started of with bang last evening and more than 1000 persons paid their way into City hall. Preceding the open ing of the fair there was a parade in which almost 500 Fores- ters participated. Along the line of march there was much red fire. Court Rose Hill, No 91, won the prize of $25 offered for the court having the largest percentage of its members in line. If it were not for the snow there would have been at least twice as many members of the organization in the parade. The fair was formally opened by Mayor William E. Thoms who gave brief address on the bene- fits to be derived from fraternal or ganization such as the ForeSters. He stated that the public should patron ize the fair we'll, as the proceeds were for very good cause. After the mayor, remarks were made by Grand Chief Ranger James C. Roach of Wallingford; Grand Sub-Chief Rang CT Charles w. Bagley of this city and Grand Secretary Thomas O'Laughlin of Naugatuck. The officers were banquetted at the Hub restaurant later in the evening.
 The large crowd present found the hall in excellent condition for danc- ing and the band music was much appreciated. Those who did not care to dance found plenty of games to attract their attention and passed their time looking over the prettily decorated booths. The members of Courts Wagner, Verdi, Fruitful Vine and Hancock were in charge of the fair last evening. This evening in addition to the dancing and other at- fractions there will be tug of war contest between David Sheehy's team of this city and Alex Swanson's of Naugatuck. It promises to be mighty pull as it is for side bet Professor Ashburn's troupe of aero batic dogs will also perform. The members of Courts Wolf Tone, Fall con, Vigilant and Ame,'ica will be in charge of the fair this evening.

FURS AT HALF PRICE
Local Dealers Have inc Best,
 Don't Buy Out of Town.

One would imagine that in this city at present when the thermometer is hugging the zero mark that the price of winter clothing, especially furs, would be rather high. At least they should conform with the price of the same goods in other cities. But this Is not the case. The fair sex of Wa terbury perhaps do not realize that there are some mighty excellent bar gains to be had in Waterbury just now in that article of apparel which women like so much---that is good furs. A remark you can do better in other cities" is often made by women who think they know, but they are wrong. There are furs to be bought in Waterbury now which, it is al- most safe to say, cannot be duplicated in any other city of the state. Tru- dell, the furrier. at 150 Grand street, is having a sale which women who care to spend their money wisely, should attend
 Muffs, fur lined coats, fur coats, scarfs, fur sets of all materials such as Persian paw muffs, muffs of gray and sable squirrel, Japanese mink muffs, beaver, ermine and caracul, caracul coats, Russian pony coats, in fact everything that is found in an un-to-date fur store may be had at Trudells. And they are selling at bargains Call and see for yourself. The goods have come directly from New York and are of the first quality.
 But Trudell's is not the only store in town where good goods are going cheaply at present. The dry goods stores, Reid & Hughes, Curran's, Grieve, Bisset & Hollands and Miller & Peck's have goods on their counters which are selling at really rock bot tom prices. The clothing stores are also offering big inducements to the public.
 J. B. Mullings & Son just at pres ent are having ten days emergency sale on. The public of Waterbury undoubtedly is well aware of the fact by this time that the merchants of this city are about as well stocked and sell at prices which are just as good, if not better, than any city within hundred miles of here.
