DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

After much speculation about the U.S. Federal Reserve Board's
near-term monetary policy, stock and bond investors breathed a sigh of
relief when the Fed shifted to a neutral position on rates following
its widely anticipated quarter-point increase in short-term rates on
June 30. This switch in bias helped the S&P 500(registered trademark)
and NASDAQ soar to record-closing highs, and sent yields on the
bellwether 30-year Treasury back below 6%.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.

First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.

Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE


There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

FIDELITY CONTRAFUND  (INCL.     8.27%          21.43%       202.43%       651.91%

Growth Funds Average            11.65%         18.87%       182.63%       364.07%

</TABLE>

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted
index of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the growth funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 1,174 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

Growth Funds Average         18.87%       22.64%        16.15%

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Contrafund on June 30, 1989, and the current
3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by June 30, 1999, the
value of the investment would have grown to $75,191 - a 651.91%
increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends
and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have
grown to $55,906 - a 459.06% increase.

(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE

How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW



MARKET RECAP

Signs of continued strength and
emerging inflationary pressures
in the U.S. economy bred investor
uncertainty, which induced stock
markets to give back some of their
gains early, yet bulls won the battle
of wills over their bearish
counterparts as domestic equity
markets surged to a strong finish for
the six-
month period that ended June 30,
1999. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average - an index of 30
blue-chip stocks - locked in a
healthy return of 20.39% for the
period. The technology-laden
NASDAQ returned 22.70%,
while the Standard & Poor's 500
Index posted a return of 12.38%.
The overall market's sudden
rotation to economically sensitive
cyclical and out-of-favor value stocks
marked much of April and May.
This movement away from
large-company growth stocks and
the subsequent broadening of the
market was reflected in the rebound
of the small-cap universe, as
portrayed by the Russell 2000
Index, which handily outpaced the
larger-cap constituents of the S&P
500 by a total of 8.50% in the
second quarter. However,
indications of a moderating economy
and stronger earnings growth late
in the period fueled a rally in
growth stocks and helped them
regain center stage in June.
Generally wary investors warmly
applauded the Federal Reserve
Board's June 30 decision to
abandon its bias toward raising
interest rates and to limit its
pre-emptive strike against inflation
to a single quarter-point hike.

An interview with Will Danoff, Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Contrafund

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, WILL?

A. For the six months that ended June 30, 1999, the fund returned
11.62%. This performance lagged the 12.38% return of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index during the same period. The fund's return was more in
line with that of the growth funds average, which returned 11.65%
according to Lipper Inc. For the 12 months that ended June 30, 1999,
the fund returned 25.18%. This performance topped the 22.76% return of
the S&P 500, as well as the 18.87% return of the Lipper peer group.

Q. CAN YOU HIGHLIGHT THE MAJOR FACTORS THAT AFFECTED THE FUND'S
PERFORMANCE DURING THE PERIOD?

A. The biggest factor was that central banks around the world lowered
interest rates during the period. In the fall of 1998 - spurred on by
various crises in emerging-market regions and the crash of a large
U.S. hedge fund - the global economy appeared to be on the verge of a
slowdown. In response, central banks began to lower interest rates
throughout the world. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board cut rates three
times in the fall. These eases flipped the investment landscape
entirely over by averting the feared slowdown and stimulating the
economy as we entered 1999. As a result, economically sensitive
sectors such as energy, paper, chemicals and some segments of
technology performed very well during the first half of 1999.
Investors in turn took profits in areas such as finance, retail and
health care, groups that historically perform well when the economy is
slowing or interest rates are falling. In terms of portfolio
strategies, my decision to sell some of the fund's technology exposure
was the biggest damper on performance during the period, as tech
stocks rose about 35% during the first six months of 1999.

Q. CAN YOU EXPAND A BIT ON TECHNOLOGY STOCKS? WHY DID THEY PERFORM SO
WELL DURING THE PERIOD AND WHAT WAS BEHIND YOUR DECISION TO TAKE
PROFITS IN SOME OF THE FUND'S TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS?

A. The phenomenal growth of the Internet remained the big driver
behind the sector's performance. As valuations soared to what I felt
were uncomfortable levels, I reduced the fund's exposure to several
Internet-related stocks - namely America Online and Yahoo! - early in
the period. The fund no longer owned Yahoo! at the end of the period.
In particular, I was troubled by the wave of new issues and flow of
new venture capital money in the Internet area, trends that I felt
would trigger intense competition and increased pressure on profits.
In hindsight, these sales were premature as Internet stocks continued
to climb. I underestimated the emphasis that mainstream corporate
America would place on the cost-savings opportunities associated with
doing business online, as well as the popularity of the Internet with
the general public. Many Internet companies lost money during the
period, making them difficult to value, but the sector definitely
performed better than I had expected. I also trimmed some of the
fund's holdings in personal-computer stocks, based largely on my
belief that industry leader Compaq's sales and inventory problems
would hinder profit growth throughout the computer sector. My decision
to sell Dell Computer contributed positively to performance.

Q. WITH TECHNOLOGY STOCKS LEADING THE MARKET'S CHARGE DURING THE
PERIOD, DID YOU PURSUE ANY OTHER TYPES OF TECH-RELATED STRATEGIES?

A. One strategy was to try to invest in traditional technology
companies whose products enable the overall use of the Internet. One
such example was Cisco Systems, a leader in providing networking
equipment. Cisco has broadened its product offerings to address the
needs of the traditional telephone service providers, an area that has
very strong potential. Another example was Vitesse Semiconductor,
which sells specialized semiconductors to Cisco and other
communications and networking companies. Both Cisco and Vitesse -
which were among the fund's top-25 holdings at the end of the period -
had annual growth rates of more than 30% and each contributed
positively to performance. One other technology area I tried to
capitalize on was the continued explosion in wireless communications
growth. Worldwide subscribers have grown at a 30%-40% annual growth
clip over the past few years, and cellular service providers benefited
from new services such as Internet access from one's cellular phone.
Finland-based Nokia, the leading wireless handset producer, and
Vodafone AirTouch, a leading global wireless service provider, were
significant positions in the fund and each helped performance.

Q. YOU MENTIONED THAT ECONOMICALLY SENSITIVE STOCKS BEGAN TO PERFORM
WELL AS INVESTOR CONFIDENCE REBOUNDED. DID YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE?

A. I started building positions in selected economically sensitive -
or cyclical - stocks when the companies began reporting
stronger-than-expected first-quarter earnings, and, as with numerous
other investments, I felt they were undervalued by the market. Many of
these companies had reduced costs, capacity and inventories during the
Asian crisis, and their earnings surged as the Fed's interest-rate
cuts stimulated demand. Two such companies that helped the fund during
the period were Alcoa, the world's leading producer of aluminum, and
Weyerhaeuser, a leading paper and timber company. Both of these
industry leaders were pursuing aggressive cost-cutting and stringent
capital allocation programs, and they exceeded earnings expectations.
I also owned Exxon and Mobil, each of which benefited from separate
mergers, as well as British Petroleum and Amoco, which merged together
to form BP Amoco. On the negative side, I should have sold some of the
fund's thrift-related holdings sooner than I did because rising
interest rates hurt thrift margins and earnings growth. Washington
Mutual was one example of a thrift holding that detracted from
performance during the period.

Q. ONE OF YOUR MAIN STRATEGIES IS TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES THAT MAY
BE OVERLOOKED BY THE MARKET. CAN YOU GIVE ANY EXAMPLES?

A. I'd point to the telecommunications industry - particularly the
competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) - as being a good example
of the market underestimating a trend. Over the past few years, CLECs
have been able to provide better and cheaper telephone service and
Internet access than the traditional regional Bell operating
companies. More often than not, it takes time for these opportunities
to play out. Back in 1996, when I began to add CLECs to the portfolio,
this segment of the telecom industry was relatively unknown. In the
fall of 1998, when this group was perceived to have liquidity problems
and stocks fell under pressure, I added significantly to the fund's
positions. The fund's second-largest individual position at the end of
the period, MCI WorldCom, gained considerable CLEC exposure through
two acquisitions and performed well during the period. Other strong
CLEC performers included McLeod and Nextlink.

Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REMAINDER OF 1999?

A. The domestic economy and corporate profits are very strong, general
inflation remains subdued and productivity is high. Overseas, many
troubled markets have stabilized but are still not as robust as the
U.S. market. As long as inflation remains in check, the Fed should be
able to maintain interest rates at current levels and stock prices of
growing companies should continue to perform well. Of course, the
Fed's recent tightening suggests that the central bank is concerned
about the domestic economy overheating. In terms of the fund itself,
I'll continue to look for leading growth companies, new
emerging-growth companies and underappreciated turnaround stories that
I feel can sustain strong earnings growth if the economy should slow.

WILL DANOFF DISCUSSES HIS
ATTRACTION TO MEDIA AND
ENTERTAINMENT STOCKS:

"Media and entertainment stocks
represented around 16% of the fund's
investments at the end of the period,
with many names falling into the
cable TV and radio industries.
Each of these areas experienced
positive fundamental changes
during the period, as cable TV
companies benefited from a host
of new service offerings and the
radio industry experienced strong
revenue growth due to deregulation
and a healthy economy.

"The new service offerings in the
cable sector - including improved
digital video service and enhanced
Internet access - are being rolled
out this year and should translate
into faster growth. Internet access
could provide the biggest
opportunity for cable companies, as
many could benefit from increased
electronic commerce revenues as
well as advertising and service
revenues. The fund's positions in
Time Warner, Comcast and AT&T all
helped performance during the
period.

"Radio stations, meanwhile, took
market share away from newspapers
during the period, as newspapers
continued to experience lower
readership levels. Deregulation
produced meaningful consolidation
within the sector, putting many
stations in the hands of experienced,
superior operators and allowing for
solid rate increases. The fund's
stakes in CBS and Clear Channel
Communications helped
performance."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended June 30, 1999 (Unaudited)


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

Fidelity Contrafund (the fund) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is authorized
to issue an unlimited number of shares. Effective at the close of
business on April 3, 1998, the fund was closed to new accounts. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:

SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted
securities) for which exchange quotations are not readily available
(and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are
valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair
value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.

INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."

INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date
, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED

is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign
taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, futures transactions, foreign
currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC),
market discount, partnerships, non-taxable dividends and losses
deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.

2. OPERATING POLICIES.

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.

JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for

TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A
issues) amounted to $0 or 0.0% of net assets.

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
 .5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's

an affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received
sales charges of $2,509,000 on sales of shares of the fund of which

TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .19% of average net assets.

ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $4,184,000 for the
period.

5. SECURITY LENDING.

The fund loaned securities to certain brokers who paid the fund
negotiated lenders' fees. These fees are included in interest income.
The fund receives U.S. Treasury obligations and/or cash as collateral
against the loaned securities, in an amount at least equal to 102% of
the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each
loan. This collateral must be maintained at not less than 100% of the
market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan.
The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close
of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is
delivered to the fund on the next business day. At period end, the
value of the securities loaned amounted to $249,296,000. The fund
received cash collateral of $253,481,000.

6. BANK BORROWINGS.

The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or
emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has
established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest
rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time
to time. The average daily loan balances during the period for which
loans were outstanding amounted to $7,374,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.1%.

7. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.

FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $6,888,000 under this arrangement.

In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $10,000 and $787,000, respectively, under these
arrangements.
