 St. Paul's Fair.
 Another large crowd attended the fair last night and was generous in applause for the enterta inment. It was a musical program and every one of the performers acquitted him. self with credit. The drawing on the season tickets took place and the following is the result:
 Ton of coal, E. J. Ryan Jr., of Westf1eld; barrel of flour, blank; ham, blank; umbrella, Miss Anna Cary Kensington; lemonade set, blank; box of cigars, blank.
 Tonight is the closing night and another huge crowd is expected to bring the 1915 fair to a fitting close. Father Brennan refuses to divulge what the entertainment will be for he has arranged a surprise for these who attend. Dancing has been the most favored thing of the other nights, so the pastor has decided to give the sons and daughters of Terp- sichore their fill this evening. They ] can cavort on the waxed floor until the drawing begins, which will be about 1O:30. Thus far the attendance has more l than filled expectations and there is l every reason to believe this evenings s l will outclass them all.
 Wild Ducks.
 l There has been much shooting of ! late on the lower pond of the Matta- 1 besett Fishing club. and the authori- l ties desire to warn the nimrods that they must not slaughter the flock of wild ducks that are at present re- 1 siding there. The pond is rather | shallow and the birds find difficulty | in taking a swim. Several hunters have set up traps to decoy the flock, which numbers about 200. These 1 ducks come under the head of migra- 1 tory birds and there was a bill pas l sed by the last congress making it | a misdemeanor to kill them. The | bill was introduced by Senator Me- 1 Lean of Connecticut. Since the hunt | ing season opened, there has been too much shooting in that neighbor- hood and the offenders want to keep their eyes pealed or the state game l wardens, who are very active, will ] get them.
 Dress Suit Missing.
 A Hartford clothing firm has writ ten to the prosecutor, asking him to try to locate a person, who hired a dress suit from them and failed to return it. The suit in question was procured about four weeks ago. The man gave his name as Ralph Lom- bardo and his residence as Kensing- ton and said he desired to wear it at the wedding of a friend in this town He took the garments, promising tc bring them back in few days. Since then nothing has been heard either of him or the dress suit No one by that name is known hereabouts
 but an effort will be made to find
 the man.
