FAIR HAVEN.

The weather of New Years was very fine and well adapted for the fes- tivities of the holiday. Business was very generally suspended for the day. The usual holiday hours were ob- served at station A. The chorus of whistles which ushered in 1908 Sas preceded by the blowing of the loud whistle at the factory of the National Folding Box and Paper company in James street, which set the pace for all the other noisy whistles, both big and little. Other adjuncts of the noisy welcome was the blowing of horns, the firing of guns and ringing of bells.
 The many dances and parties of New Years eve were continued last evening by a large number of pleasant festivities in all parts of the Fair Ha- ven district It is doubtful if this ~!noliday has been so generously cele- brated in this part of the city in years as marked the celebration of yester- day.
