The audiences at Polis on Monday found much that pleased them in the melodrAma The Fatal Wedding, which was very successfully presented by the Poh Players. It is the last week of stock at the theater, and the many friends of the company are taking ad- vantage of the opportunity to enjoy it as long as it lasts.
 The work of Victoria Montgomery as Mrs. Wilson won much favor through out the play, and at all points her work was of high order. AS the daughter, Jessie, Fay Baker was the hearts of the audience. her conception of the role of the little mother being decidedly clever Catherine Clinton as the wrecker of the home was clever, and her work was one of the interest ing feature of the play. Emma Hay ner as Bridget got a big hand for her character work.
 Roger Barker as Howard Wilson was as usual cast in role which he was thoroughly at home in. and his efforts pleased, while Kenneth Bisbee and the other members of the cast contributed manifestly to the success.

When new business was called for
 William F. Hill presented the proposi-
 tion of an industry which wants to
 locate here, their plan being listened
 to with close attention as MT. Hill read
 their letter, which stated that the
 terms they gave were the only ones
 upon which they would come, and that
 a city in PernsyIvana was ready to

 and the erection of g one-story build
 ing of the saw tooth type, providing 75,000 square feet of floor space, with
 a steam heating plant, and with dock age on the Thames river.

All Ready for EIks' Fair.

Everything is now in readiness for the big Ell1s fair, and when the doors of Olympic hall open on Thursday the four days whirl of fun will commence Many innovations and novelties have been provided by the Hello Bills" to insure a good time for all that will at- tend; and when it comes to arranging anything for good time. the Elks are right at home, as their past perform ances in this line will show.
 Many surprises for each day of the fair have been planned, some of which are positively startling, and to tell them here would be to take away the touch of expectation that is essential to the enjoyment of these delightful affairs.
 The surrounding country has been secured for pretty girls who will have charge of the vorious booths, and it would take a ase-hardened miser to refuse t3 spend his loose change at the stands over which these comely dam sells preside. If you have no loose change, you may land the big $2,000 prize, and then there will be no ex- cuse for not buying everything in sight.
 Many of the younger people will not feel at home unless there is some dancing-so dancing there will be, lots of 1t, free as the air, and the devotees of the terpsichorean art may whirl away to their hearts content, and in between dances there will always be something going on, so that there will not be & dull moment.
 If the attendance of last year Is any thing to go by, the Olympic should have India rubber walls, as everybody who can beg, borrow or steal the price is going to be on hand. So go early and avoid the rush, or come late with the crowdi come in your auto, wheel barrow, aeroplane, or walk, but get there somehow. Part of the proceeds will go towards building an addition to the imposing structure on Main street which the Ellzs new occupy, as the in creasing membership of the Norwich lodge demands more space.-adv.
