HAVING E @ @ ] HO eAS DEPEND ON

deavored to give the public a clean and wholesome fair and have tried to follow the same policy this year. No obscene shows, which are prevalent in many of the fairs about tho country, will be permitted at the Berlin fair. The allegations made by the Water bury paper yesterday are without any foundation whatsoever. Numer- Ous compliments have been given to us this year because of the absence of gambling on the grounds, by many of the visitors It is almost impossible to keep gambling away but more vigil lance was exercised last week than ever before.
 'FThe exact amount realized on the fair is not yet known but I can say that it has been 2 financial success. It was the best year we ever had. The approximate amount will be deter mined in few weeks.'

Other schools also re- ported a large attendance.
 The accommodation problem at the Kensington Grammar school has been solved with the opening of a new room in the basement. This room has been thoroughly overhauled and has been made into a excellent class
 hn grade.
