 The Firemen's bazaar opened with a bang last night at the Trum bull fac tory a record crowd being present, and the receipts for the evening mounted higher than ever before
 The entertainment was furnished by St. Mary's lady minstrels from South ington The girls are good singers and they also furnished amusem ent, much of which was derived from jokes aim ed at local characters.
 Although the factory addition is larger than any place in which the fref1ghters have heretofore held their fair it was OVercroWdcd and it was thought that it would be impossible to accommodate the crowd. Only one floor of the building is being used.
 The canvassers were busy. among tho crowds and ii was evident from the receipts that war prosperity has not entirely disappeared. There are a number of booths placed around the sides of the dance floor and they did a land office business last night The sugar booth proved the most pop ular a crowd being around it all the time, so that it was almost impossible to reach the counter, People who won the coveted five pound packages registered elation in every case.
 The evening was concluded with dancing which was enjoyed by a large crowd. The floor of the building has been made. fit for dancing and it's size made it very popular last evening. Music was furnished by Guzzo's or chestra. from New Britain.
 The fair will continue tonight and tomorrow night. Bristol talent will furnish the entertainment this eve- nlng and the program will be ill charge of Mrs. Anna Bree. Vocal and instrum ental selections and dancing will be included in the program. A large crowd will be present from Bris- tol.
 The largest attendance is expected on Saturday evening when the fair wilt close. The drawing for about 30 prizes in money and articles of value will take place on that night. Secre- tarN Morton has received answers to invitations to various fire com panies in the state and the following towns will be represented: CniOnville East Hartford, Milldale. West Hart ford and Burnside. It is estimated that about 200 visiting flremen will be in attendance on Saturday night. The answer from the Burnside depart ment was received this morning. It was feared that it would be impossible to accom- III odate the Saturday night crowd, but these fears were allayed yesterday when Captain John Trum- bull, in talk with Secretary Morton, stated that if 1t were possible within such a short time to get the second floor Of the building ready it will be placed at the disposal of the fire de- partment. If this plan is carried out it will aid materially in aCcommOdat- ing the final rush and in making the fair a great success.
 The department, through MT. Nor ton. wishes to express it's gratitude to the Trum bull Electric company for It's aid in making the fair, if not a success, a. possibility The Grange hall the only one in P1ainvine, would not ac comm Odate One-third of the crowd which attended la night.
