The committee is determined to have this coming fair outdo all that have pre- ceded, and while it realizes that some k is marked out, nevertheless a spirit of confidence reigns. A fair is known by its midway, is the belief of many members of the society, and E. W. Stearns, who has had this important feature under his supervision for the past five years, said this morning that the midway this year will far outrank anything previously offered. Usually the mid- way extends from the entrance gate tc the grandstand, and if he will grant all the concessions that have been ap- plied for, the entire grounds will not be large enough to hold them. The cal fair has always been a great business getter for the fakirs, and a larger number than ever have applied for space this year.

The club has the endorsement of the Business and Improvement asso- ciation, and the members of that body stand ready to assist it with financial as well as moral support. The boys, however, are anxious to make it self supporting for the first year at least, | and they hope to get a substantial | nucleus for the treasury from the Tag | day receipts. John Ahlquist, who has been a hard worker for the club since the ldea of organizing such a society was sug- | gested, will probably be one of the class instructors.

The robbers, three or four in number, then successfully made their getaway, of 71 Lyman and were last seen running over | Schoolhouse hill in Leeds. Officer John Ruddy, who is on the sergeant desk during the vacation period, dis patched an automobile load of officers to the scene of the raid and notified all the police departments of neigh- boring cities. The stories of the workmen who were eye-witnesses of the shooting va- ried as to the number of bandits Some claimed there were three and others that there were four. Their faces were partially concealed by handkerchiefs. 1 of the Portu- ese attempted to resist the attack. It Sever: was their blows at the faces of the masked men that precipitated the shooting. One of the workmen, Yaas dos Sandos, said that the dead man | had been his roommate at Lyman | street, Holyoke and that the victim's | home was at 81 Canal street, New York city. The man shot was about forty years old, and none of his fel- low-workmen knew whether he had a tamily.
