DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
FIDELITY ADVISOR TECHNOQUANT GROWTH FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
past one year and life of fund total returns would have been lower.

CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUNDS AVERAGE       9.06%   22.75%  N/A      
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on December 31, 1996. 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 Class A's
returns to those of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely
recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks. To measure how Class A's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the
capital appreciation funds average, which reflects the performance of
mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of
247 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor TechnoQuant Growth - Class A on December
31, 1996, when the fund started, and the current 5.75% sales charge
was paid. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the
investment would have grown to $11,133 - a 11.33% 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 investment would have grown to
$15,086 - a 50.86% increase.
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.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor TechnoQuant Growth - Class B on December
31, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998,
the value of the investment, including the effect of the applicable
contingent deferred sales charge, would have grown to $11,298 - a
12.98% 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
investment would have grown to $15,086 - a 50.86% increase.
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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR TECHNOQUANT GROWTH FUND - CLASS C
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November
3, 1997. Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in
returns after November 3, 1997. Returns prior to November 3, 1997 are
those of Class B shares and reflect Class B shares' 1.00% 12b-1 fee.
Class C's contingent deferred sales charge included in the past six
months and past one year total return figures are 1.00%. If Fidelity
had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns would
have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class C's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on December 31, 1996. 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 Class C's
returns to those of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely
recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks. To measure how Class C's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the
capital appreciation funds average, which reflects the performance of
mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of
247 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
 
MARKET RECAP
Although renewed concerns about 
economic difficulties in Asia late 
in the period tempered the rapid 
growth of U.S. equity markets, the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a 
measure of the U.S. stock market 
- - still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term 
growth - helping many of these 
stocks to rebound quickly. In 
addition, the continued strength of 
the U.S. economy, combined with 
low interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The 
upward climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced 
a negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with Timothy Krochuk, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor TechnoQuant Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, TIM?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 3.80%, 3.71%, 3.43% and
3.35%, respectively. For the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500
Index returned 15.06%. For the 12 months that ended May 31, 1998, the
fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 18.13%,
17.93%, 17.45% and 17.38%, respectively. The S&P 500 returned 30.69%
during the 12-month period. The capital appreciation funds average
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services also underperformed the S&P 500,
returning 9.06% in the six-month period and 22.75% during the 12-month
period. Most of these funds were invested heavily outside of the top
25 stocks in the S&P 500 - the narrow group that really drove the
market's performance over the past year.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM THE S&P 500 DURING THE SIX-MONTH
PERIOD?
A. Many market participants, particularly foreign investors, panicked
as the global effects of the Asian turmoil were being sorted out and
began a "flight to quality" - snatching up stocks of companies with
household names that they presumed to be safe. Because the fund has a
tilt toward lesser-known small- and mid-capitalization stocks, this
market movement dramatically reduced the fund's relative returns over
the six-month period. 
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. Ames Department Stores performed well during the period as the
economy continued to chug along, consumer confidence soared and people
spent more money. In addition, Keane, a software company, received the
attention of investors with its solutions for the impending Year 2000
dilemma. Many computer systems read a two-digit number as the year, so
there's concern that some systems will read "00" as 1900, rather than
2000. In addition, the fund benefited by not holding many health care
and technology stocks at the end of 1997 when many of these securities
lost value due to the Asian crisis.
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS DETRACTED FROM PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund's holdings in the energy service sector, such as ENSCO
International, which the fund no longer holds, and EVI hurt
performance. I associate these losses with unforeseen actions by
Saddam Hussein or the perceived effects of the Southeast Asian crisis
on the demand for energy commodities, causing oil prices to fall and
sending many oil stocks plummeting during the period. Although I could
not prepare for the effects of these news events, my computer models
did direct me to maintain some holdings in the energy service sector
during the period because their valuations became very attractive. In
addition, the price of oil goes up about 20% on average during the
summer because of increased demand for gasoline caused by people
driving longer distances for vacation. This trend could help these
stocks to rebound.
Q. HOW DO YOU ASSESS THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DURING THESE TIMES OF
VOLATILITY, SUCH AS WHAT WE'VE SEEN CAUSED BY THE RECENT TURMOIL IN
ASIA?
A. I don't think short-term events should send investors running for
cover. This is an aggressive fund, so shareholders need to be willing
to ride out periods of short-term volatility to reap the potential
long-term benefits of the fund's investing style. Although the fund
didn't generate strong returns during the six-month period, it has the
potential to outperform the market over the long term because my
models have helped me to assemble a portfolio of promising stocks. For
instance, the stocks in the portfolio as of May 31 were trading at an
average price-to-earnings ratio of 17, while the stocks in the S&P 500
were trading at about 22 times earnings. In addition, the average
revenue growth for the first quarter of 1998 for the stocks in the S&P
500 was 9%, compared to 17% for the stocks in this fund. As a result,
I think these companies are trading at cheap valuations and have the
potential to generate stronger sales growth than the stocks in the S&P
500. 
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. My models are forecasting a year of above-average volatility and
average returns - of only about 8% to 10% - for the equity markets. I
am also anticipating that the stock market may experience a few
plunges similar to the big one-day drop we witnessed at the end of
October 1997. As a result, I expect to maintain a defensive posture by
spreading the fund's investments out among a large number of
securities and sectors.

TIM KROCHUK ON FUNDAMENTAL 
VALUATION VERSUS TECHNICAL 
VALUATION:
"Many fund managers look at a 
company's fundamentals - the 
information found on income 
statements and balance sheets - 
when deciding whether to buy or sell a 
stock. During this process, the 
manager assesses a company's 
management team, its balance sheet 
and a number of earnings ratios. 
These ratios, such as price-to-sales or 
price-to earnings, often tell a manager 
- - on a fundamental basis - whether 
he or she is paying too much for every 
dollar of a company's sales or 
earnings power.
"On the other hand, I use technical 
data to make my investment 
decisions. This data looks at the price 
and volume activity of a stock. A stock 
can still become overvalued or 
"expensive" relative to these criteria. 
A stock may become technically 
overvalued at a point where too 
many people and too much money 
have moved into the same stock. 
Think of a stock like this as being 
similar to a very crowded room. If 
someone were to yell, `FIRE!' you can 
be sure that a number of 
shareholders would get trampled as 
everyone scrambled for the exit.
"Faced with one of these stocks, I 
would seek an alternative stock from 
the same industry with a smaller but 
expanding number of players 
supported by strong money flow. If a 
large amount of money is chasing a 
fixed number of shares for a particular 
stock, chances are good that the stock 
will enjoy more upside - regardless 
of its current fundamental valuation. 
The important point here, from a 
diversification standpoint, is that 
many stocks which appear overvalued 
fundamentally may still be fairly 
valued technically."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor TechnoQuant Growth Fund(the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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 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
date and settlement 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 the fiscal year. The schedule of investments
include 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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences may result in distribution
reclassifications.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable 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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
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.,
(formerly FMR Texas, 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.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the
fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures
tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or
hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying
degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin
reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying
face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is
shown in the schedule of investments under the caption "Futures
Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the
underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in
the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do
not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized
upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures
contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by
the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $66,646,418 and $72,768,861, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $11,074,497 and $9,021,561, respectively.
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. For the
period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of
 .60% of average net assets. 
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support services.
For the period, this fee was based on the following annual rates of
the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A    .25%     
 
CLASS T    .50%     
 
CLASS B    1.00% *  
 
CLASS C    1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
          PAID TO    RETAINED BY  
          FDC        FDC          
 
CLASS A   $ 5,753    $ -          
 
CLASS T    49,391     1,288       
 
CLASS B    60,097     45,073      
 
CLASS C    1,021      1,021       
 
          $ 116,262  $ 47,382     
 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
                   
 
CLASS A   $ 2,196  
 
CLASS T    4,470   
 
CLASS B    3,415   
 
CLASS C    735     
 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
          PAID TO   RETAINED BY   
          FDC       FDC           
 
CLASS A   $ 10,778  $ 3,412       
 
CLASS T    30,274    8,015        
 
CLASS B    18,073    18,073 *     
 
CLASS C    244       244 *        
 
          $ 59,369  $ 29,744      
 
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, BANKS, AND
OTHER    FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE MADE.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED

Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund.
FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according

In addition, the fund has entered into an arrangement with its
custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of expenses. During the period,
the fund's custodian fees were reduced by $599 under the custodian
arrangement.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one
year or since the fund started on December 31, 1996. 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
Institutional Class' returns to those of the Standard & Poor's 500
Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks. To
measure how Institutional Class performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 247 mutual funds. These benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude
the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor TechnoQuant Growth - Institutional Class
on December 31, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by
May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would have grown to $11,845
- - a 18.45% 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
investment would have grown to $15,086 - a 50.86% increase.
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
Although renewed concerns about 
economic difficulties in Asia late 
in the period tempered the rapid 
growth of U.S. equity markets, the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a 
measure of the U.S. stock market 
- - still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term 
growth - helping many of these 
stocks to rebound quickly. In 
addition, the continued strength of 
the U.S. economy, combined with 
low interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The 
upward climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced 
a negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with Timothy Krochuk, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor TechnoQuant Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, TIM?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 3.90%. For the same period, the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 15.06%. For the 12 months that
ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned
18.45%, while the S&P 500 returned 30.69%. The capital appreciation
funds average tracked by Lipper Analytical Services also
underperformed the S&P 500, returning 9.06% in the six-month period
and 22.75% during the 12-month period. Most of these funds were
invested heavily outside of the top 25 stocks in the S&P 500 - the
narrow group that really drove the market's performance over the past
year.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM THE S&P 500 DURING THE SIX-MONTH
PERIOD?
A. Many market participants, particularly foreign investors, panicked
as the global effects of the Asian turmoil were being sorted out and
began a "flight to quality" - snatching up stocks of companies with
household names that they presumed to be safe. Because the fund has a
tilt toward lesser-known small- and mid-capitalization stocks, this
market movement dramatically reduced the fund's relative returns over
the six-month period. 
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. Ames Department Stores performed well during the period as the
economy continued to chug along, consumer confidence soared and people
spent more money. In addition, Keane, a software company, received the
attention of investors with its solutions for the impending Year 2000
dilemma. Many computer systems read a two-digit number as the year, so
there's concern that some systems will read "00" as 1900, rather than
2000. In addition, the fund benefited by not holding many health care
and technology stocks at the end of 1997 when many of these securities
lost value due to the Asian crisis.
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS DETRACTED FROM PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund's holdings in the energy service sector, such as ENSCO
International, which the fund no longer holds, and EVI hurt
performance. I associate these losses with unforeseen actions by
Saddam Hussein or the perceived effects of the Southeast Asian crisis
on the demand for energy commodities, causing oil prices to fall and
sending many oil stocks plummeting during the period. Although I could
not prepare for the effects of these news events, my computer models
did direct me to maintain some holdings in the energy service sector
during the period because their valuations became very attractive. In
addition, the price of oil goes up about 20% on average during the
summer because of increased demand for gasoline caused by people
driving longer distances for vacation. This trend could help these
stocks to rebound.
Q. HOW DO YOU ASSESS THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DURING THESE TIMES OF
VOLATILITY, SUCH AS WHAT WE'VE SEEN CAUSED BY THE RECENT TURMOIL IN
ASIA?
A. I don't think short-term events should send investors running for
cover. This is an aggressive fund, so shareholders need to be willing
to ride out periods of short-term volatility to reap the potential
long-term benefits of the fund's investing style. Although the fund
didn't generate strong returns during the six-month period, it has the
potential to outperform the market over the long term because my
models have helped me to assemble a portfolio of promising stocks. For
instance, the stocks in the portfolio as of May 31 were trading at an
average price-to-earnings ratio of 17, while the stocks in the S&P 500
were trading at about 22 times earnings. In addition, the average
revenue growth for the first quarter of 1998 for the stocks in the S&P
500 was 9%, compared to 17% for the stocks in this fund. As a result,
I think these companies are trading at cheap valuations and have the
potential to generate stronger sales growth than the stocks in the S&P
500. 
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. My models are forecasting a year of above-average volatility and
average returns - of only about 8% to 10% - for the equity markets. I
am also anticipating that the stock market may experience a few
plunges similar to the big one-day drop we witnessed at the end of
October 1997. As a result, I expect to maintain a defensive posture by
spreading the fund's investments out among a large number of
securities and sectors.

TIM KROCHUK ON FUNDAMENTAL 
VALUATION VERSUS TECHNICAL 
VALUATION:
"Many fund managers look at a 
company's fundamentals - the 
information found on income 
statements and balance sheets - 
when deciding whether to buy or sell a 
stock. During this process, the 
manager assesses a company's 
management team, its balance sheet 
and a number of earnings ratios. 
These ratios, such as price-to-sales or 
price-to earnings, often tell a manager 
- - on a fundamental basis - whether 
he or she is paying too much for every 
dollar of a company's sales or 
earnings power.
"On the other hand, I use technical 
data to make my investment 
decisions. This data looks at the price 
and volume activity of a stock. A stock 
can still become overvalued or 
"expensive" relative to these criteria. 
A stock may become technically 
overvalued at a point where too 
many people and too much money 
have moved into the same stock. 
Think of a stock like this as being 
similar to a very crowded room. If 
someone were to yell, `FIRE!' you can 
be sure that a number of 
shareholders would get trampled as 
everyone scrambled for the exit.
"Faced with one of these stocks, I 
would seek an alternative stock from 
the same industry with a smaller but 
expanding number of players 
supported by strong money flow. If a 
large amount of money is chasing a 
fixed number of shares for a particular 
stock, chances are good that the stock 
will enjoy more upside - regardless 
of its current fundamental valuation. 
The important point here, from a 
diversification standpoint, is that 
many stocks which appear overvalued 
fundamentally may still be fairly 
valued technically."

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor TechnoQuant Growth Fund(the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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 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
date and settlement 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 the fiscal year. The schedule of investments
include 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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences may result in distribution
reclassifications.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable 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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
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.,
(formerly FMR Texas, 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.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the
fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures
tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or
hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying
degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin
reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying
face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is
shown in the schedule of investments under the caption "Futures
Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the
underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in
the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do
not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized
upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures
contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by
the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $66,646,418 and $72,768,861, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $11,074,497 and $9,021,561, respectively.
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. For the
period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of
 .60% of average net assets. 
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support services.
For the period, this fee was based on the following annual rates of
the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A    .25%     
 
CLASS T    .50%     
 
CLASS B    1.00% *  
 
CLASS C    1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
          PAID TO    RETAINED BY  
          FDC        FDC          
 
CLASS A   $ 5,753    $ -

          $ 116,262  $ 47,382     
 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
                   
 
CLASS A   $ 2,196  
 
CLASS T    4,470   
 
CLASS B    3,415   
 
CLASS C    735     
 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
          PAID TO   RETAINED BY   
          FDC       FDC           
 
CLASS A   $ 10,778  $ 3,412       
 
CLASS T    30,274    8,015        
 
CLASS B    18,073    18,073 *     
 
CLASS C    244       244 *        
 
          $ 59,369  $ 29,744      
 
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, BANKS, AND
OTHER    FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE MADE.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
FIDELITY ADVISOR MID CAP FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September
3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in
returns after September 3, 1996. Returns prior to September 3, 1996
are those of Class T and reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1 fee. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past one year
and life of fund total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on February 20, 1996. 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 Class A's
returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index -
a widely recognized, unmanaged index of 400 medium-capitalization
stocks. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the mid-cap funds average, which reflects
the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 309 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect

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.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Mid Cap Fund - Class B on February 20,
1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the
value of the investment, including the effect of the applicable
contingent deferred sales charge, would have been $15,484 - a 54.84%
increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $16,422 - a 64.22% increase.
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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR MID CAP FUND - CLASS C
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November
3, 1997. Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to
November 3, 1997 are those of Class B and reflect Class B shares'
1.00% 12b-1 fee. Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge
included in the past six months and past one year total return figure
is 1.00%. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class C's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on February 20, 1996. 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 Class C's
returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index -
a widely recognized, unmanaged index of 400 medium-capitalization
stocks. To measure how Class C's performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the mid-cap funds average, which reflects
the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 309 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
 
MARKET RECAP
Although renewed concerns about 
economic difficulties in Asia late 
in the period tempered the rapid 
growth of U.S. equity markets, the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a 
measure of the U.S. stock market 
- - still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term 
growth - helping many of these 
stocks to rebound quickly. In 
addition, the continued strength of 
the U.S. economy, combined with 
low interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The 
upward climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced 
a negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with Katherine Collins, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Mid Cap Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, KATHERINE?
A. During the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares had total returns of 12.02%,
11.96%, 11.73% and 11.41%, respectively, compared to a 12.14% return
for the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index and the 8.95% return of the
mid-cap funds average, as monitored by Lipper Analytical Services. For
the 12-month period that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A, Class
T, Class B and Class C shares had total returns of 29.34%, 29.30%,
28.72% and 28.36%, respectively, while the Standard & Poor's MidCap
400 Index had a 29.91% increase and the Lipper average return was
23.16%.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND OUTPERFORM ITS PEER GROUP OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS
WHILE FINISHING VERY CLOSE TO ITS BENCHMARK INDEX? 
A. Obviously, it was a great period for the market and the fund did
well. One reason the fund didn't do even better than the S&P index was
that it was underweighted relative to the index in finance, one of the
best-performing areas. I think the fund tended to outperform its
mutual fund peers because it had fewer technology holdings than most
of its competitors, and technology companies were especially hard-hit
late in 1997.
Q. WHAT WERE THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS INFLUENCING PERFORMANCE? 
A. The largest factor was a very good market, spurred by a strong
economy and low inflation. Another important trend was consolidation.
Leggett & Platt, the fund's second-largest holding at the end of the
period, was a good example. The company manufactures components for
furniture and store fixtures. It is well managed and generates a lot
of cash flow that it used to acquire many smaller companies to
increase its profitability. On a larger scale, the pharmaceutical and
health care industries have experienced significant
merger-and-acquisition activity. Two drug distributors, McKesson, the
fund's largest holding, and Cardinal Health have benefited from
acquiring other companies, taking advantage of increased operational
efficiencies and generating increased profits. They also were able to
service customers such as drug retailers much more efficiently.
Q. FINANCE WAS THE LARGEST AREA OF EMPHASIS AT THE END OF THE PERIOD,
AT 14.1% OF PORTFOLIO ASSETS, EVEN THOUGH YOU INDICATED THE FUND WAS
UNDERWEIGHTED THERE RELATIVE TO MARKET BENCHMARKS. WHAT WAS YOUR
STRATEGY?
A. One of the things I did wrong during the period was not to own more
financial stocks. My thinking at the beginning of the period was that
it was pretty late in the economic cycle, so I didn't want to rely too
much on good credit trends continuing to keep the risks of lending
low. In addition, stock valuations were at all-time highs for the
sector. So, business was as good as it gets and valuations were as
high as they get. That is usually a pretty risky combination. However,
the economy remained strong; there were no problems with credit; and
business consolidation continued and even accelerated. I continue to
be cautious on finance for the same reasons as six months ago. When
investing in finance stocks, I try not to rely solely on takeovers. If
I own an individual finance company, I am counting on its strong
fundamentals to cause the stock to rise. I don't count on it being
bought out. 
Q. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR STRATEGY FOR INVESTING IN TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES?
EVEN THOUGH YOU OWN FEWER TECHNOLOGY STOCKS THAN MANY COMPETITORS,
THESE COMPANIES STILL COMPRISED 10.4% OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS ON MAY
31, 1998.
A. Within technology, I concentrated on companies with a service
component - companies that could rely on regularly recurring revenues
rather than on product sales. Three examples were Keane, Compuware and
America Online. The entire technology group suffered a price
correction at the end of 1997 because of the feared impact of the
Asian financial crisis. As a result, I narrowed my search for
fundamentally sound companies with attractive stock valuations. An
example was Linear Technology, a semiconductor company .
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Several stocks hurt performance, including two semiconductor
equipment companies - Lam Research and Novellus. The Asian financial
crisis hurt them because of their dependence on sales in Asia.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I am optimistic. Even after the strong performance of the past
year, mid-cap stocks still are attractively priced. A study by
Prudential Securities shows that the price of mid-cap stocks is at a
20-year low when compared to large-cap stocks on several valuation
levels. At the same time, the earnings-growth patterns of mid-cap
stocks are strong. With more than 3,000 companies to look at, I
believe I can continue to find good investment opportunities.

KATHERINE COLLINS ON ISSUES TO 
CONSIDER IN EVALUATING 
CORPORATE MERGERS IN AN ERA 
OF CONSOLIDATION:
"RIGHT NOW, WE ARE SEEING 
SUBSTANTIAL CONSOLIDATION ACTIVITY 
ACROSS MANY INDUSTRIES. WHILE THE 
FUND IS INVESTED IN QUITE A FEW OF 
THESE COMPANIES, I AM NOT BUYING 
EVERY DEAL. WHILE MANY DEALS MAKE 
SENSE ON PAPER, IT IS UNDERSTANDING 
THE BUSINESSES BEHIND THOSE 
NUMBERS THAT PROVIDES VALUABLE 
INSIGHT.
"THE KEY FACTOR GOES BACK TO OUR 
STRENGTH AT FIDELITY, WHICH IS 
RESEARCH. WE HAVE AN ENORMOUS 
ADVANTAGE BECAUSE WE OFTEN KNOW 
BOTH COMPANIES BEFORE THE MERGER 
ANNOUNCEMENT, ENABLING US TO SPOT 
RISKS OR OPPORTUNITIES. FOR 
EXAMPLE, THE COMPANIES MAY HAVE 
BEEN ARCHRIVALS, WHICH COULD LEAD 
TO CULTURAL ISSUES. PERHAPS THEIR 
SALES FORCES ARE STRUCTURED 
DIFFERENTLY, OR ONE PRODUCT LINE MAY 
BE MORE TECHNICAL; THIS COULD MAKE 
CROSS SELLING DIFFICULT. ON THE OTHER 
HAND, MAYBE THE COMPANIES HAVE 
MANUFACTURING CAPACITY THAT COULD 
BE MORE EFFICIENTLY USED, OR ONE 
COMPANY IS STRONGER IN A CERTAIN 
REGION; THESE COULD LEAD TO 
SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS OR SALES 
ENHANCEMENTS.
"BY UNDERSTANDING THE BUSINESSES, 
WE ARE ABLE TO MORE INDEPENDENTLY 
ASSESS THE `PARTY LINE' AFTER THE 
ANNOUNCEMENT. OUR ANALYSTS ARE 
ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CUSTOMERS, 
PRODUCTS AND MARKETS OF THE 
COMPANIES, HELPING TO DETERMINE 
WHETHER THE FINANCIAL GOALS ARE 
REASONABLE, AGGRESSIVE OR 
CONSERVATIVE. WHILE TWO DEALS MAY 
LOOK SIMILAR, WE MAY FIND VERY 
DIFFERENT RISKS BASED ON THEIR 
CONTRASTING COST AND SALES 
ASSUMPTIONS. THIS DIFFERENTIATION 
IS THE MAIN DETERMINANT OF WHERE I 
DECIDE TO INVEST."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
 
 
1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Mid Cap Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor
Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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 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
date and settlement 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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 passive foreign investment companies (PFIC),
non-taxable dividends, net operating losses and losses deferred due to
wash sales and excise tax regulations. 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that 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 fund, along with other
affiliated entities of 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $328,962,610 and $294,924,063, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly 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. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .60% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares(collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial

institutions for the distribution of each class of shares and
providing shareholder support services. For the period, this fee was
based on the following annual rates of the average net assets of each
applicable class:
CLASS A            
          .25%     
 
CLASS T            
          .50%     
 
CLASS B            
          1.00% *  
 
CLASS C            
          1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
          PAID TO      RETAINED BY   
          FDC          FDC           
 
CLASS A   $ 8,369      $ -           
 
CLASS T    895,027      51,397       
 
CLASS B    342,534      256,901      
 
CLASS C    16,411       16,411       
 
          $ 1,262,341  $ 324,709     
 
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
CLASS A    $      
          3,723   
 
CLASS T           
          49,266  
 
CLASS B           
          20,831  
 
CLASS C           
          7,583   
 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
contingent deferred sales charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of
the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the net asset
value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and
capital gains. A portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to
securities dealers, banks, and other financial institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
          PAID TO    RETAINED BY  
          FDC        FDC

          $ 365,464  $ 158,276    
 
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, BANKS, 
 AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund.
FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according
to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the
respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing
and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For
the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

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 $53,296 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse operating expenses (excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses)
above the following annual rates or range of annual rates of average
net assets for each of the following classes:
          FMR          REIMBURSEMENT  
          EXPENSE

CLASS C   2.50%        $ 4,952        
 
FMR also agreed to reimburse certain transfer agent, registration and
other class specific expenses for Class C. For the period, the
reimbursement reduced these expenses by $362.
FMR has also 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 $64,372 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into an arrangement with its

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
life of fund total returns would have been lower.

MID-CAP FUNDS AVERAGE           8.95%   23.16%  N/A      
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one
year or since the fund started on February 20, 1996. 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
Institutional Class' returns to the performance of the Standard &
Poor's MidCap 400 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of 400
medium-capitalization stocks. To measure how Institutional Class'
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the
mid-cap funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds
with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
The past six months average represents a peer group of 309 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Mid Cap Fund - Institutional Class on
February 20, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by May
31, 1998, the value of the investment would have grown to $16,166 - a
61.66% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how
the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $16,422 - a 64.22% increase.
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
Although renewed concerns about 
economic difficulties in Asia late 
in the period tempered the rapid 
growth of U.S. equity markets, the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a 
measure of the U.S. stock market - 
still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term growth 
- - helping many of these stocks to 
rebound quickly. In addition, the 
continued strength of the U.S. 
economy, combined with low 
interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The upward 
climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced a 
negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with Katherine Collins, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Mid Cap Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, KATHERINE?
A. During the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's
Institutional Class shares had a total return of 12.29%, compared to a
12.14% return for the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index and the 8.95%
return of the mid-cap funds average, as monitored by Lipper Analytical
Services. For the 12-month period that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's
Institutional Class shares had a total return of 30.07%, while the
Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index had a 29.91% increase and the
Lipper average return was 23.16%.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND OUTPERFORM ITS PEER GROUP OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS
WHILE FINISHING VERY CLOSE TO ITS BENCHMARK INDEX? 
A. Obviously, it was a great period for the market and the fund did
well. One reason the fund didn't do even better than the S&P index was
that it was underweighted relative to the index in finance, one of the
best-performing areas. I think the fund tended to outperform its
mutual fund peers because it had fewer technology holdings than most
of its competitors, and technology companies were especially hard-hit
late in 1997.
Q. WHAT WERE THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS INFLUENCING PERFORMANCE? 
A. The largest factor was a very good market, spurred by a strong
economy and low inflation. Another important trend was consolidation.
Leggett & Platt, the fund's second-largest holding at the end of the
period, was a good example. The company manufactures components for
furniture and store fixtures. It is well managed and generates a lot
of cash flow that it used to acquire many smaller companies to
increase its profitability. On a larger scale, the pharmaceutical and
health care industries have experienced significant
merger-and-acquisition activity. Two drug distributors, McKesson, the
fund's largest holding, and Cardinal Health have benefited from
acquiring other companies, taking advantage of increased operational
efficiencies and generating increased profits. They also were able to
service customers such as drug retailers much more efficiently.
Q. FINANCE WAS THE LARGEST AREA OF EMPHASIS AT THE END OF THE PERIOD,
AT 14.1% OF PORTFOLIO ASSETS, EVEN THOUGH YOU INDICATED THE FUND WAS
UNDERWEIGHTED THERE RELATIVE TO MARKET BENCHMARKS. WHAT WAS YOUR
STRATEGY?
A. One of the things I did wrong during the period was not to own more
financial stocks. My thinking at the beginning of the period was that
it was pretty late in the economic cycle, so I didn't want to rely too
much on good credit trends continuing to keep the risks of lending
low. In addition, stock valuations were at all-time highs for the
sector. So, business was as good as it gets and valuations were as
high as they get. That is usually a pretty risky combination. However,
the economy remained strong; there were no problems with credit; and
business consolidation continued and even accelerated. I continue to
be cautious on finance for the same reasons as six months ago. When
investing in finance stocks, I try not to rely solely on takeovers. If
I own an individual finance company, I am counting on its strong
fundamentals to cause the stock to rise. I don't count on it being
bought out. 
Q. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR STRATEGY FOR INVESTING IN TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES?
EVEN THOUGH YOU OWN FEWER TECHNOLOGY STOCKS THAN MANY COMPETITORS,
THESE COMPANIES STILL COMPRISED 10.4% OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS ON MAY
31, 1998.
A. Within technology, I concentrated on companies with a service
component - companies that could rely on regularly recurring revenues
rather than on product sales. Three examples were Keane, Compuware and
America Online. The entire technology group suffered a price
correction at the end of 1997 because of the feared impact of the
Asian financial crisis. As a result, I narrowed my search for
fundamentally sound companies with attractive stock valuations. An
example was Linear Technology, a semiconductor company .
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Several stocks hurt performance, including two semiconductor
equipment companies - Lam Research and Novellus. The Asian financial
crisis hurt them because of their dependence on sales in Asia.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I am optimistic. Even after the strong performance of the past
year, mid-cap stocks still are attractively priced. A study by
Prudential Securities shows that the price of mid-cap stocks is at a
20-year low when compared to large-cap stocks on several valuation
levels. At the same time, the earnings-growth patterns of mid-cap
stocks are strong. With more than 3,000 companies to look at, I
believe I can continue to find good investment opportunities.

KATHERINE COLLINS ON ISSUES TO 
CONSIDER IN EVALUATING 
CORPORATE MERGERS IN AN ERA 
OF CONSOLIDATION:
"RIGHT NOW, WE ARE SEEING 
SUBSTANTIAL CONSOLIDATION ACTIVITY 
ACROSS MANY INDUSTRIES. WHILE THE 
FUND IS INVESTED IN QUITE A FEW OF 
THESE COMPANIES, I AM NOT BUYING 
EVERY DEAL. WHILE MANY DEALS MAKE 
SENSE ON PAPER, IT IS UNDERSTANDING 
THE BUSINESSES BEHIND THOSE 
NUMBERS THAT PROVIDES VALUABLE 
INSIGHT.
"THE KEY FACTOR GOES BACK TO OUR 
STRENGTH AT FIDELITY, WHICH IS 
RESEARCH. WE HAVE AN ENORMOUS 
ADVANTAGE BECAUSE WE OFTEN KNOW 
BOTH COMPANIES BEFORE THE MERGER 
ANNOUNCEMENT, ENABLING US TO SPOT 
RISKS OR OPPORTUNITIES. FOR 
EXAMPLE, THE COMPANIES MAY HAVE 
BEEN ARCHRIVALS, WHICH COULD LEAD 
TO CULTURAL ISSUES. PERHAPS THEIR 
SALES FORCES ARE STRUCTURED 
DIFFERENTLY, OR ONE PRODUCT LINE MAY 
BE MORE TECHNICAL; THIS COULD MAKE 
CROSS SELLING DIFFICULT. ON THE OTHER 
HAND, MAYBE THE COMPANIES HAVE 
MANUFACTURING CAPACITY THAT COULD 
BE MORE EFFICIENTLY USED, OR ONE 
COMPANY IS STRONGER IN A CERTAIN 
REGION; THESE COULD LEAD TO 
SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS OR SALES 
ENHANCEMENTS.
"BY UNDERSTANDING THE BUSINESSES, 
WE ARE ABLE TO MORE INDEPENDENTLY 
ASSESS THE `PARTY LINE' AFTER THE 
ANNOUNCEMENT. OUR ANALYSTS ARE 
ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CUSTOMERS, 
PRODUCTS AND MARKETS OF THE 
COMPANIES, HELPING TO DETERMINE 
WHETHER THE FINANCIAL GOALS ARE 
REASONABLE, AGGRESSIVE OR 
CONSERVATIVE. WHILE TWO DEALS MAY 
LOOK SIMILAR, WE MAY FIND VERY 
DIFFERENT RISKS BASED ON THEIR 
CONTRASTING COST AND SALES 
ASSUMPTIONS. THIS DIFFERENTIATION 
IS THE MAIN DETERMINANT OF WHERE I 
DECIDE TO INVEST."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
 
 
1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Mid Cap Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor
Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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 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
date and settlement 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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 passive foreign investment companies (PFIC),
non-taxable dividends, net operating losses and losses deferred due to
wash sales and excise tax regulations. 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that 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 fund, along with other
affiliated entities of 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $328,962,610 and $294,924,063, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly 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. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .60% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares(collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial

based on the following annual rates of the average net assets of each
applicable class:

CLASS T

SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
          PAID TO      RETAINED BY   
          FDC          FDC

          $ 1,262,341  $ 324,709     
 
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
CLASS A    $      
          3,723   
 
CLASS T           
          49,266

          20,831  
 
CLASS C

SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T

contingent deferred sales charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of
the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the net asset
value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and
capital gains. A portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to
securities dealers, banks, and other financial institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.

FIDELITY ADVISOR EQUITY GROWTH FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September
3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in
returns after September 3, 1996. Returns between September 10, 1992
(the date Class T shares were first offered) and September 3, 1996 are
those of Class T and reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1 fee (0.65%
prior to January 1, 1996). Returns prior to September 10, 1992 are
those of Institutional Class, the original class of the fund, which
does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class A shares' 12b-1 fee been
reflected, returns prior to September 10, 1992 would have been lower.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past one
year, past five year and past 10 year total returns would have been
lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A'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 Class A's returns to those of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of
common stocks. To measure how Class A'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 Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 970 mutual funds. These benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude
the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Equity Growth - Class A on May 31, 1988,
and the current 5.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by
May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would have grown to $73,972
- - a 639.72% 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
investment would have grown to $55,171 - a 451.71% increase.
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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR EQUITY GROWTH FUND - CLASS T
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class T shares took place on September
10, 1992. Class T shares bear a 0.50% 12b-1 fee (0.65% prior to
January 1, 1996) that is reflected in returns after September 10,
1992. Returns prior to that date are those of the Institutional Class,
the original class of the fund, which does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had
Class T shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to September
10, 1992 would have been lower. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain
class expenses, the past one year, past five year and past 10 year
total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class T'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 Class T's returns to those of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of
common stocks. To measure how Class T'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 Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 970 mutual funds. These benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude
the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Equity Growth - Class T on May 31, 1988,
and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by
May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would have grown to $75,754
- - a 657.54% 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
investment would have grown to $55,171 - a 451.71% increase.
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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR EQUITY GROWTH FUND - CLASS B
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class B shares took place on December
31, 1996. Class B shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in
returns after December 31, 1996. Returns between September 10, 1992
(the date Class T shares were first offered) and December 31, 1996 are
those of Class T and reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1 fee (0.65%
prior to January 1, 1996). Returns prior to September 10, 1992 are
those of Institutional Class, the original class of the fund, which
does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class B shares' 12b-1 fee been
reflected, returns prior to December 31, 1996 would have been lower.
Class B's contingent deferred sales charge included in the past six
months, past one year, past five years, and past 10 years total return
figures are 5%, 5%, 2% and 0%, respectively. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain class expenses, the past one year, past five year
and past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class B'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 Class B's returns to those of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of
common stocks. To measure how Class B'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 Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 970 mutual funds. These benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude
the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Equity Growth - Class B on May 31, 1988.
As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would
have been $77,787 - a 677.87% 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 investment would have grown to $55,171 - a 451.71%
increase.
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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR EQUITY GROWTH FUND - CLASS C
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November
3, 1997. Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in
returns after November 3, 1997. Returns between December 31, 1996 (the
date Class B shares were first offered) and November 3, 1997 are those
of Class B shares and reflect Class B shares' 1.00% 12b-1 fee. Returns
between September 10, 1992 (the date Class T shares were first
offered) and December 31, 1996 are those of Class T shares, and
reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1 fee (0.65% prior to January 1,
1996). Returns prior to September 10, 1992 are those of Institutional
Class, the original class of the fund which does not bear a 12b-1 fee.
Had Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to
December 31, 1996 would have been lower. Class C shares' contingent
deferred sales charge included in the past six months and one year
total return figures are 1.00% and 1.00%. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns would have been
lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class C'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 Class C's returns to those of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of
common stocks. To measure how Class C'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 Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 970 mutual funds. These benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude
the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Equity Growth - Class C on May 31, 1988.
As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would
have been $77,836 - a 678.36% 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 investment would have grown to $55,171 - a 451.71%
increase.
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
Although renewed concerns about 
economic difficulties in Asia late 
in the period tempered the rapid 
growth of U.S. equity markets, the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a 
measure of the U.S. stock market 
- - still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term 
growth - helping many of these 
stocks to rebound quickly. In 
addition, the continued strength of 
the U.S. economy, combined with 
low interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The 
upward climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced 
a negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with Jennifer Uhrig, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Equity Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, JENNIFER?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 12.04%, 11.97%, 11.62%
and 11.70%, respectively. During that same time, the growth funds
average tracked by Lipper Analytical Services returned 11.98% and the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 15.06%. For the 12 months that
ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C
shares returned 26.04%, 25.93%, 25.19% and 25.27%, respectively. The
Lipper peer group returned 25.86% and the S&P 500 returned 30.69%
during the 12-month period. 
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM THE S&P 500 DURING THE SIX-MONTH
PERIOD?
A. Mainly because market breadth was poor, meaning the appreciation of
the S&P 500 was concentrated in a few of the very largest stocks. To
the extent that the fund was diversified beyond these few
outperformers, it lagged the market. In addition, the fund's
underweighted position, relative to the index, in finance stocks hurt
performance. The fund's heavy position in the battered technology
sector during the period also dragged its returns down.
Q. WHAT HAPPENED TO TECHNOLOGY STOCKS?
A. Technology is the largest sector in the fund and within the
universe of growth stocks generally. These stocks took a beating in
the fourth quarter of 1997 because of concerns that the Asian
financial crisis would reduce U.S. technology exports to that region.
When that didn't happen right away and Europe's strength compensated
for some of the weakness in Asia, technology stocks rebounded.
However, these stocks suffered in April and May when concerns about
weakening Asian demand resurfaced. Generally, I was positive about the
long-term growth prospects of most technology companies during the
period because technology is the key driver of productivity
improvements in the U.S. and worldwide. I also felt the weaker
economies in Asia could lead to lower investment in Asian production
capacity and, ultimately, to less Asian supply of technology products,
which would be a positive for pricing for U.S. companies. 
Q. WHICH INDIVIDUAL HOLDINGS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. Wal-Mart, a top 10 holding, was up 38% over the past six months as
better inventory management drove accelerated sales. Also helping
performance were several pharmaceutical stocks that reaped the rewards
of strong product pipelines and consolidation in the industry. For
example, Warner-Lambert benefited from its blockbuster
cholesterol-lowering drug, Lipitor, and from its popular diabetes
drug, Rezulin. In addition, American Home Products was the target of
takeover speculation in early 1998 - causing its stock to soar. When
talks with SmithKline Beecham, the potential acquirer, fell apart, the
stock didn't give up many of its gains because investors believed
another deal could emerge. Finally, telephone stocks - particularly
WorldCom - generated strong gains as higher volumes of data and
Internet usage drove higher demand for these services.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM PERFORMANCE?
A. Philip Morris - along with all of the tobacco stocks - suffered as
congressional settlement talks turned negative for the companies. In
particular, the possibility of legal protections for the industry
looked increasingly unlikely. While a bill has yet to pass, it looked
as if any bill would be much worse for the companies than investors
had originally hoped. Another detractor was CompUSA, a computer
retailer. The average selling price of a computer collapsed during the
period because high inventory levels of lower-performance computers
increased the price gap with higher-performance machines, making
consumers unwilling to trade up to the latest models. In addition,
there were no new software applications to make the higher-priced
purchases necessary. This significantly cut into CompUSA's profits
because prices for the PCs were about 30% lower than they were a year
ago.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I will continue to seek out companies that offer above-average
growth opportunities - particularly in the technology, health care and
retail sectors. I will look for companies within these groups that can
generate sales and earnings growth in most types of economic
environments. As long as interest rates stay low, inflation is benign
and the economy continues to grow at a moderately strong rate, I think
these stocks should continue to generate healthy returns. I remain
concerned about the high valuation levels of many stocks, but continue
to focus on the best relative valuations - always trying to find the
best growth prospects for the price.

JENNIFER UHRIG ON 
INVESTING IN CABLE STOCKS:
"AS AN INDUSTRY, CABLE STOCKS 
UNDERPERFORMED THE MARKET FOR 
ABOUT THREE YEARS FROM 1994 
THROUGH 1996, BEFORE RALLYING 
SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST SIX 
MONTHS. MOST OF THE STAGNATION IN 
THE MIDDLE OF THE DECADE STEMMED 
FROM THE INDUSTRY'S FAILURE TO INVEST IN 
ITS EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES, WHICH LED 
TO POOR SERVICE, AN INCREASE IN 
REGULATORY SCRUTINY THAT PREVENTED 
RATE INCREASES, AND GROWING 
COMPETITION FROM DIRECT BROADCAST 
SATELLITE (DBS) COMPANIES.
"THREE YEARS LATER, THE PICTURE HAS 
CHANGED DRAMATICALLY. THE INDUSTRY 
UPGRADED ITS PLANTS AND IMPROVED 
ITS SERVICE, HAS BEEN ABLE TO RAISE ITS 
RATES, AND HAS SEEN COMPETITION FROM 
DBS COMPANIES SOFTEN. IN ADDITION, 
OTHER PLAYERS FROM OUTSIDE OF THE 
INDUSTRY - MOST NOTABLY MICROSOFT 
AND AT&T - HAVE SHOWN A 
COMMITMENT TO CABLE, SUGGESTING 
THAT IT HAS SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL AS A 
MEANS OF PROVIDING INTERNET ACCESS 
AND LOCAL PHONE SERVICE.
"I THINK THE MOST EXCITING ASPECT 
OF THE CABLE STORY IN THE NEAR TERM, 
HOWEVER, IS THE ROLL-OUT OF NEW 
PRODUCT OFFERINGS, INCLUDING DIGITAL 
TV AND ITS LESS-EXPENSIVE 
COUNTERPART, ADVANCED ANALOG. 
THESE PRODUCTS OFFER INCREASED 
FUNCTIONALITY AND UP TO 200 
CHANNELS, AS WELL AS INTERNET ACCESS 
AT SPEEDS AT LEAST 20 TIMES GREATER 
THAN CURRENT PHONE LINES. DOWN THE 
ROAD, CABLE LOOKS TO BE A VIABLE 
COMPETITOR IN THE MARKET FOR LOCAL 
PHONE SERVICE."

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Equity Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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
date and settlement 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
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. Under the Plan, deferred amounts are treated as though
equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a
cross-section of Fidelity funds, including shares of the fund.
Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance
with the Plan.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that 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 fund, along with other
affiliated entities of 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
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, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $3,496,368,000 and $3,628,914,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly 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. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .60% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support services.
For the period, this fee was based on the following annual rates of
the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A    .25%     
 
CLASS T    .50%     
 
CLASS B    1.00% *  
 
CLASS C    1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
          PAID TO       RETAINED BY   
          FDC           FDC

          $ 11,700,000  $ 600,000     
 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
CLASS A   $ 16,000  
 
CLASS T    301,000  
 
CLASS B    24,000   
 
CLASS C    11,000   
 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions. 
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
          PAID TO      RETAINED BY   
          FDC          FDC           
 
CLASS A   $ 415,000    $ 170,000

          $ 1,656,000  $ 673,000     
 
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, 
 BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund.
FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according

ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc., an affiliate of FMR,
maintains the fund's accounting records. The 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 $729,000 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse operating expenses (excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses)
above the following annual rates or range of annual rates of average
net assets for each of the following classes:
          FMR          REIMBURSEMENT  
          EXPENSE

CLASS C   1.95%        $ 11,000       
 
FMR has also 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 $654,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into an arrangement with its
custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of expenses. During the period,
the fund's custodian fees were reduced by $2,000 under this
arrangement.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED MAY 31, 1998            PAST 6  PAST 1  PAST 5   PAST 10

GROWTH FUNDS AVERAGE                  11.98%  25.86%  133.03%  367.76%  
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' 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 Institutional Class'
returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a
widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks. To measure how
Institutional Class' 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 Analytical
Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of
970 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

had performed at a constant rate each year.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Equity Growth - Institutional Class on
May 31, 1988. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the
investment would have grown to $81,569 - a 715.69% 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 investment would have grown to
$55,171 - a 451.71% increase.
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
Although renewed concerns about 
economic difficulties in Asia late 
in the period tempered the rapid 
growth of U.S. equity markets, the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a 
measure of the U.S. stock market 
- - still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term 
growth - helping many of these 
stocks to rebound quickly. In 
addition, the continued strength of 
the U.S. economy, combined with 
low interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The 
upward climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced 
a negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with Jennifer Uhrig, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Equity Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, JENNIFER?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 12.25%. During that same time, the
growth funds average tracked by Lipper Analytical Services returned
11.98% and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 15.06%. For the 12
months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Institutional Class shares
returned 26.60%, while the Lipper peer group returned 25.86% and the
S&P 500 returned 30.69%. 
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM THE S&P 500 DURING THE SIX-MONTH
PERIOD?
A. Mainly because market breadth was poor, meaning the appreciation of
the S&P 500 was concentrated in a few of the very largest stocks. To
the extent that the fund was diversified beyond these few
outperformers, it lagged the market. In addition, the fund's
underweighted position, relative to the index, in finance stocks hurt
performance. The fund's heavy position in the battered technology
sector during the period also dragged its returns down.
Q. WHAT HAPPENED TO TECHNOLOGY STOCKS?
A. Technology is the largest sector in the fund and within the
universe of growth stocks generally. These stocks took a beating in
the fourth quarter of 1997 because of concerns that the Asian
financial crisis would reduce U.S. technology exports to that region.
When that didn't happen right away and Europe's strength compensated
for some of the weakness in Asia, technology stocks rebounded.
However, these stocks suffered in April and May when concerns about
weakening Asian demand resurfaced. Generally, I was positive about the
long-term growth prospects of most technology companies during the
period because technology is the key driver of productivity
improvements in the U.S. and worldwide. I also felt the weaker
economies in Asia could lead to lower investment in Asian production
capacity and, ultimately, to less Asian supply of technology products,
which would be a positive for pricing for U.S. companies. 
Q. WHICH INDIVIDUAL HOLDINGS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. Wal-Mart, a top 10 holding, was up 38% over the past six months as
better inventory management drove accelerated sales. Also helping
performance were several pharmaceutical stocks that reaped the rewards
of strong product pipelines and consolidation in the industry. For
example, Warner-Lambert benefited from its blockbuster
cholesterol-lowering drug, Lipitor, and from its popular diabetes
drug, Rezulin. In addition, American Home Products was the target of
takeover speculation in early 1998 - causing its stock to soar. When
talks with SmithKline Beecham, the potential acquirer, fell apart, the
stock didn't give up many of its gains because investors believed
another deal could emerge. Finally, telephone stocks - particularly
WorldCom - generated strong gains as higher volumes of data and
Internet usage drove higher demand for these services.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM PERFORMANCE?
A. Philip Morris - along with all of the tobacco stocks - suffered as
congressional settlement talks turned negative for the companies. In
particular, the possibility of legal protections for the industry
looked increasingly unlikely. While a bill has yet to pass, it looked
as if any bill would be much worse for the companies than investors
had originally hoped. Another detractor was CompUSA, a computer
retailer. The average selling price of a computer collapsed during the
period because high inventory levels of lower-performance computers
increased the price gap with higher-performance machines, making
consumers unwilling to trade up to the latest models. In addition,
there were no new software applications to make the higher-priced
purchases necessary. This significantly cut into CompUSA's profits
because prices for the PCs were about 30% lower than they were a year
ago.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I will continue to seek out companies that offer above-average
growth opportunities - particularly in the technology, health care and
retail sectors. I will look for companies within these groups that can
generate sales and earnings growth in most types of economic
environments. As long as interest rates stay low, inflation is benign
and the economy continues to grow at a moderately strong rate, I think
these stocks should continue to generate healthy returns. I remain
concerned about the high valuation levels of many stocks, but continue
to focus on the best relative valuations - always trying to find the
best growth prospects for the price.

JENNIFER UHRIG ON 
INVESTING IN CABLE STOCKS:
"AS AN INDUSTRY, CABLE STOCKS 
UNDERPERFORMED THE MARKET FOR 
ABOUT THREE YEARS FROM 1994 
THROUGH 1996, BEFORE RALLYING 
SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST SIX 
MONTHS. MOST OF THE STAGNATION IN 
THE MIDDLE OF THE DECADE STEMMED 
FROM THE INDUSTRY'S FAILURE TO INVEST IN 
ITS EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES, WHICH LED 
TO POOR SERVICE, AN INCREASE IN 
REGULATORY SCRUTINY THAT PREVENTED 
RATE INCREASES, AND GROWING 
COMPETITION FROM DIRECT BROADCAST 
SATELLITE (DBS) COMPANIES.
"THREE YEARS LATER, THE PICTURE HAS 
CHANGED DRAMATICALLY. THE INDUSTRY 
UPGRADED ITS PLANTS AND IMPROVED 
ITS SERVICE, HAS BEEN ABLE TO RAISE ITS 
RATES, AND HAS SEEN COMPETITION FROM 
DBS COMPANIES SOFTEN. IN ADDITION, 
OTHER PLAYERS FROM OUTSIDE OF THE 
INDUSTRY - MOST NOTABLY MICROSOFT 
AND AT&T - HAVE SHOWN A 
COMMITMENT TO CABLE, SUGGESTING 
THAT IT HAS SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL AS A 
MEANS OF PROVIDING INTERNET ACCESS 
AND LOCAL PHONE SERVICE.
"I THINK THE MOST EXCITING ASPECT 
OF THE CABLE STORY IN THE NEAR TERM, 
HOWEVER, IS THE ROLL-OUT OF NEW 
PRODUCT OFFERINGS, INCLUDING DIGITAL 
TV AND ITS LESS-EXPENSIVE 
COUNTERPART, ADVANCED ANALOG. 
THESE PRODUCTS OFFER INCREASED 
FUNCTIONALITY AND UP TO 200 
CHANNELS, AS WELL AS INTERNET ACCESS 
AT SPEEDS AT LEAST 20 TIMES GREATER 
THAN CURRENT PHONE LINES. DOWN THE 
ROAD, CABLE LOOKS TO BE A VIABLE 
COMPETITOR IN THE MARKET FOR LOCAL 
PHONE SERVICE."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Equity Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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
date and settlement 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
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. Under the Plan, deferred amounts are treated as though
equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a
cross-section of Fidelity funds, including shares of the fund.
Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance
with the Plan.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that 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 fund, along with other
affiliated entities of 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
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, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $3,496,368,000 and $3,628,914,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly 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. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .60% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support services.
For the period, this fee was based on the following annual rates of
the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A    .25%     
 
CLASS T    .50%     
 
CLASS B    1.00% *  
 
CLASS C    1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
          PAID TO       RETAINED BY   
          FDC           FDC

          $ 11,700,000  $ 600,000     
 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
CLASS A   $ 16,000  
 
CLASS T    301,000  
 
CLASS B    24,000   
 
CLASS C    11,000   
 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions. 
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
          PAID TO      RETAINED BY   
          FDC          FDC           
 
CLASS A   $ 415,000    $ 170,000

          $ 1,656,000  $ 673,000     
 
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, 
 BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund.
FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according

ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc., an affiliate of FMR,
maintains the fund's accounting records. The 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 $729,000 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse operating expenses (excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses)
above the following annual rates or range of annual rates of average
net assets for each of the following classes:
          FMR          REIMBURSEMENT  
          EXPENSE

CLASS C   1.95%        $ 11,000       
 
FMR has also 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 $654,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into an arrangement with its
custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of expenses. During the period,
the fund's custodian fees were reduced by $2,000 under this
arrangement.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
FIDELITY ADVISOR GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September
3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to
September 3, 1996 are those of Class T, the original class of the
fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1 fee (0.65% prior to
January 1, 1996). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class
expenses, the past one year, past five year and past 10 year total
returns would have been lower.

GROWTH FUNDS AVERAGE                      11.98%  25.86%  133.03%  367.76%  
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A'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 Class A's returns to the performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged
index of common stocks. To measure how Class A'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 Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 970 mutual funds. These benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude
the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS:  Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund - Class A on
May 31, 1988, and the current 5.75% sales charge was paid. As the
chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would have
grown to $57,664 - a 476.64% 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 $55,171 - a 451.71% increase.
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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND - CLASS T
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class T'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 Class T's returns to the performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged
index of common stocks. To measure how Class T'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 Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 970 mutual funds. These benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude
the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS:  Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund - Class T on
May 31, 1988, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. As the
chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would have
grown to $58,947 - a 489.47% 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 investment would have grown to $55,171 - a 451.71%
increase.
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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND - CLASS B
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class B shares took place on March 3,
1997. Returns prior to March 3, 1997 are those of Class T, the
original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1
fee (0.65% prior to January 1, 1996). Had Class B shares' 12b-1 fee
been reflected, returns prior to March 3, 1997 would have been lower.
Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past
six months, past one year, past five year and 10 year total return
figures are 5%, 5%, 2% and 0%, respectively. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain class expenses, the past one year, past five year
and past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class B'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 Class B's returns to the performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged
index of common stocks. To measure how Class B'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 Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 970 mutual funds. These benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude
the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS:  Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund - Class B on
May 31, 1988. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the
investment would have been $60,669 - a 506.69% 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 investment would have grown to
$55,171 - a 451.71% increase.
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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND - CLASS C
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November
3, 1997. Returns between March 3, 1997 and November 3, 1997 are those
of Class B and reflect Class B shares' 1.00% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior
to March 3, 1997 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund,
and reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1 fee (0.65% prior to January 1,
1996). Had Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to
March 3, 1997 would have been lower. Class C shares' contingent
deferred sales charge included in the past six months and past one
year total return figures are 1.00%. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the past one year, past five year and past 10
year total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class C'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 Class C's returns to the performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged
index of common stocks. To measure how Class C'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 Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 970 mutual funds. These benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude
the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS:  Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund - Class C on
May 31, 1988. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the
investment would have been $60,665 - a 506.65% 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 investment would have grown to
$55,171 - a 451.71% increase.
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.

measure of the U.S. stock market - 
still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term growth 
- - helping many of these stocks to 
rebound quickly. In addition, the 
continued strength of the U.S. 
economy, combined with low 
interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The upward 
climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced a 
negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with George Vanderheiden, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, GEORGE?
A. During the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 12.02%, 11.96%, 11.65%
and 11.60%, respectively. During the same timeframe, the growth funds
average tracked by Lipper Analytical Services returned 11.98% and the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 15.06%. For the 12 months that
ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C
shares returned 25.80%, 25.63%, 24.90% and 24.89%, while the Lipper
average and S&P 500 returned 25.86% and 30.69%, respectively.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND LAG THE S&P 500 OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Stocks in the technology and nondurables sectors hurt the fund's
performance relative to the S&P 500. Several of the fund's technology
holdings declined due to stock-specific factors as well as reduced
demand caused by economic weakness in Asia. Nondurables were a
detractor primarily due to the poor performance of Philip Morris. The
failed attempt at a tobacco industry settlement and the uncertainty
surrounding future litigation and government legislation turned market
sentiment against many tobacco companies. The fund's bond and cash
equivalent holdings also hurt performance, accounting for over half of
the underperformance relative to the S&P 500. 
Q. DID YOU CHANGE THE FUND'S ALLOCATION TO BOND AND CASH EQUIVALENTS?
A. The allocation to bonds and cash equivalents was reduced slightly
during the period. Bonds ended the period under 11% of the fund's
investments and cash stood at about 5%. In addition to keeping the
fund diversified across industry sectors, I invest in bonds when I
feel they are attractively priced. I originally purchased bonds as a
hedge against slowing corporate earnings growth. Although the
deceleration in earnings growth has taken longer than I expected,
deflation - price declines - remains a potential shock to the economy
that could disrupt the stock market.
Q. WHAT STRATEGIES HELPED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. On the positive side, the fund benefited from an overweight
position relative to the S&P 500 in the retail sector, as well as good
performance from specific retail stocks. Fund holdings Lowes, Home
Depot and Wal-Mart Stores - all top 10 holdings during the period -
displayed strength as investors favored retail stocks that were
positioned to perform well in a slow-growth, low
inflation-environment. Good stock selection among utilities holdings
also helped returns. Vodafone Group, a telecommunications company
based in the United Kingdom, benefited from strong earnings due to
higher subscriber growth and increased contribution from its overseas
operations.
Q. DID YOU MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT TO THE FUND'S SECTOR POSITIONING DURING
THE PAST SIX MONTHS AS A RESULT OF THE ASIAN FINANCIAL CRISIS?
A. In many ways, the U.S. consumer has been the beneficiary of the
faltering Asian economies. Interest rates, inflation and oil prices
have all declined due to reduced demand emanating from Asia. This has
created a favorable environment for consumer spending, because prices
for many consumer goods - as well as home mortgage interest rates -
have either declined or risen only a small amount. This benign
environment has helped spur sales in the retail, apparel and housing
industries. Consequently, I increased the fund's retail positions,
maintaining investments in companies such as Home Depot, Lowes,
Circuit City and Wal-Mart Stores. On the other hand, the economic
weakness in Asia has hurt the earnings and pricing power of many
technology companies. The reduction in earnings at many companies that
had a large reliance on Asia has caused a reduction in capital
spending, which, in turn, has decreased technology spending plans.
Accordingly, orders have not yet increased to prior levels at many
semiconductor and semiconductor capital equipment manufacturers.
Therefore, I reduced the fund's technology stake during the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. The fund's positioning continues to reflect an environment of
anemic pricing power, flat-to-declining corporate earnings and
decreasing inflation. The fund is positioned to take advantage of this
economic outlook by focusing on four areas: (1) companies in the
financial sector that should benefit from falling interest rates; (2)
global companies with proprietary advantages that can be used to grow
market share worldwide; (3) innovative companies in the technology,
health care and telecommunications sectors that could rely on unit
growth rather than price increases to grow earnings; and (4)
industries in consolidation that still have strong growth rates.

GEORGE VANDERHEIDEN ON THE 
IMPACT OF ASIAN ECONOMIC 
WEAKNESS:
"The media says the situation in 
Asia has stabilized, but I haven't 
heard that from the companies 
with whom I speak. In South Korea 
and Japan, industrial production 
is down significantly from a year 
ago and the factory operating rate 
in Korea is the lowest on record. 
China's banking system is 
considered insolvent and profits of 
Chinese industrial companies are 
down 83% from a year ago. Although 
the immediate concerns faced by 
U.S. investors may have diminished, 
these ongoing economic problems 
in Asia still pose formidable 
investment risks. The first wave of 
the Asia problem affected the U.S. 
by negatively impacting earnings 
from those companies that sell 
products and services to Asia. The 
second wave effect will be price 
pressure on U.S. goods due to 
cheaper Asian imports. In March, 
for example, exports into West 
Coast ports from Asia were up 40%. 
These goods are now making their 
way through the domestic retail 
and industrial channels, putting 
price pressure on domestic goods. 
While this development is not 
positive for the earnings of some 
U.S. companies, it is good for 
inflation prospects. Inflation could 
come down further in the second 
half of this year, which would be 
beneficial for the financial markets."

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund (the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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 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
date and settlement on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
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, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
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. Under the Plan, deferred amounts are treated as though
equivalent dollar amounts have been invested in shares of a
cross-section of Fidelity funds, including shares of the fund.
Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance
with the Plan.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are  amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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, foreign currency transactions,
partnerships, 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
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 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
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.,
(formerly FMR Texas, 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.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $5,249,838,000 and $3,758,658,000, respectively, of which
U.S. government and government agency obligations aggregated
$125,086,000 and $125,531,000, respectively.
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 average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .48% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment. 
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support services.
For the period, this fee was based on the following annual rates of
the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A    .25%     
 
CLASS T    .50%     
 
CLASS B    1.00% *  
 
CLASS C    1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.

For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:

          $ 59,879,000  $ 3,579,000  
 
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
                       
 
CLASS A   $ 70,000     
 
CLASS T    1,165,000   
 
CLASS B    119,000     
 
CLASS C    79,000      
 
          $ 1,433,000  
 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions.

transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,078,000 for the
period.
5. 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 $911,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into an arrangement with its
custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of expenses. During the period,
the fund's custodian fees were reduced by $1,000 under the custodian
arrangement.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

CLASS
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place
on July 3, 1995. Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible
investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to July 3,
1995 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect
Class T shares' prior 0.65% 12b-1 fee.

GROWTH FUNDS AVERAGE                  11.98%  25.86%  133.03%  367.76%  
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' 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 Institutional Class'
returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a
widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks. To measure how
Institutional Class' 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 Analytical
Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of
970 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS:  Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund - Institutional
Class on May 31, 1988. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value
of the investment would have grown to $62,073 - a 520.73% 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
$55,171 - a 451.71% increase.
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
Although renewed concerns about 
economic difficulties in Asia late 
in the period tempered the rapid 
growth of U.S. equity markets, the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a 
measure of the U.S. stock market - 
still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term growth 
- - helping many of these stocks to 
rebound quickly. In addition, the 
continued strength of the U.S. 
economy, combined with low 
interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The upward 
climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced a 
negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with George Vanderheiden, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, GEORGE?
A. During the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 12.25%, while the growth funds
average tracked by Lipper Analytical Services returned 11.98% and the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 15.06%. For the 12 months that
ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned
26.24%, while the Lipper average and S&P 500 returned 25.86% and
30.69%, respectively.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND LAG THE S&P 500 OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Stocks in the technology and nondurables sectors hurt the fund's
performance relative to the S&P 500. Several of the fund's technology
holdings declined due to stock-specific factors as well as reduced
demand caused by economic weakness in Asia. Nondurables were a
detractor primarily due to the poor performance of Philip Morris. The
failed attempt at a tobacco industry settlement and the uncertainty
surrounding future litigation and government legislation turned market
sentiment against many tobacco companies. The fund's bond and cash
equivalent holdings also hurt performance, accounting for over half of
the underperformance relative to the S&P 500. 
Q. DID YOU CHANGE THE FUND'S ALLOCATION TO BOND AND CASH EQUIVALENTS?
A. The allocation to bonds and cash equivalents was reduced slightly
during the period. Bonds ended the period under 11% of the fund's
investments and cash stood at about 5%. In addition to keeping the
fund diversified across industry sectors, I invest in bonds when I
feel they are attractively priced. I originally purchased bonds as a
hedge against slowing corporate earnings growth. Although the
deceleration in earnings growth has taken longer than I expected,
deflation - price declines - remains a potential shock to the economy
that could disrupt the stock market.
Q. WHAT STRATEGIES HELPED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. On the positive side, the fund benefited from an overweight
position relative to the S&P 500 in the retail sector, as well as good
performance from specific retail stocks. Fund holdings Lowes, Home
Depot and Wal-Mart Stores - all top 10 holdings during the period -
displayed strength as investors favored retail stocks that were
positioned to perform well in a slow-growth, low
inflation-environment. Good stock selection among utilities holdings
also helped returns. Vodafone Group, a telecommunications company
based in the United Kingdom, benefited from strong earnings due to
higher subscriber growth and increased contribution from its overseas
operations.
Q. DID YOU MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT TO THE FUND'S SECTOR POSITIONING DURING
THE PAST SIX MONTHS AS A RESULT OF THE ASIAN FINANCIAL CRISIS?
A. In many ways, the U.S. consumer has been the beneficiary of the
faltering Asian economies. Interest rates, inflation and oil prices
have all declined due to reduced demand emanating from Asia. This has
created a favorable environment for consumer spending, because prices
for many consumer goods - as well as home mortgage interest rates -
have either declined or risen only a small amount. This benign
environment has helped spur sales in the retail, apparel and housing
industries. Consequently, I increased the fund's retail positions,
maintaining investments in companies such as Home Depot, Lowes,
Circuit City and Wal-Mart Stores. On the other hand, the economic
weakness in Asia has hurt the earnings and pricing power of many
technology companies. The reduction in earnings at many companies that
had a large reliance on Asia has caused a reduction in capital
spending, which, in turn, has decreased technology spending plans.
Accordingly, orders have not yet increased to prior levels at many
semiconductor and semiconductor capital equipment manufacturers.
Therefore, I reduced the fund's technology stake during the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. The fund's positioning continues to reflect an environment of
anemic pricing power, flat-to-declining corporate earnings and
decreasing inflation. The fund is positioned to take advantage of this
economic outlook by focusing on four areas: (1) companies in the
financial sector that should benefit from falling interest rates; (2)
global companies with proprietary advantages that can be used to grow
market share worldwide; (3) innovative companies in the technology,
health care and telecommunications sectors that could rely on unit
growth rather than price increases to grow earnings; and (4)
industries in consolidation that still have strong growth rates.

GEORGE VANDERHEIDEN ON THE 
IMPACT OF ASIAN ECONOMIC 
WEAKNESS:
"The media says the situation in 
Asia has stabilized, but I haven't 
heard that from the companies 
with whom I speak. In South Korea 
and Japan, industrial production 
is down significantly from a year 
ago and the factory operating rate 
in Korea is the lowest on record. 
China's banking system is 
considered insolvent and profits of 
Chinese industrial companies are 
down 83% from a year ago. Although 
the immediate concerns faced by 
U.S. investors may have diminished, 
these ongoing economic problems 
in Asia still pose formidable 
investment risks. The first wave of 
the Asia problem affected the U.S. 
by negatively impacting earnings 
from those companies that sell 
products and services to Asia. The 
second wave effect will be price 
pressure on U.S. goods due to 
cheaper Asian imports. In March, 
for example, exports into West 
Coast ports from Asia were up 40%. 
These goods are now making their 
way through the domestic retail 
and industrial channels, putting 
price pressure on domestic goods. 
While this development is not 
positive for the earnings of some 
U.S. companies, it is good for 
inflation prospects. Inflation could 
come down further in the second 
half of this year, which would be 
beneficial for the financial markets."

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund (the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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 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
date and settlement on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
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, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
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. Under the Plan, deferred amounts are treated as though
equivalent dollar amounts have been invested in shares of a
cross-section of Fidelity funds, including shares of the fund.
Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance
with the Plan.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are  amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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, foreign currency transactions,
partnerships, 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
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 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
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.,
(formerly FMR Texas, 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.
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 average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .48% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment. 
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support services.
For the period, this fee was based on the following annual rates of
the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A    .25%     
 
CLASS T    .50%     
 
CLASS B    1.00% *  
 
CLASS C    1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.

SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
FIDELITY ADVISOR STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September
3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in
returns after September 3, 1996. Returns prior to September 3, 1996
are those of Class T and reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1 fee
(0.65% prior to January 1, 1996). If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A'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 Class A's returns to those of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of
common stocks. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation funds
average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past six
months average represents a peer group of 247 mutual funds. These
benchmarks reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Strategic Opportunities Fund - Class A on
May 31, 1988, and the current 5.75% sales charge was paid. As the
chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would have
grown to $35,851 - a 258.51% 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 investment would have grown to $55,171 - a 451.71%
increase.
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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND - CLASS T
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). Class T shares bear a 0.50% 12b-1 fee (0.65% prior to January
1, 1996). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
past five and 10 year total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class T'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 Class T's returns to those of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of
common stocks. To measure how Class T's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation funds
average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past six
months average represents a peer group of 247 mutual funds. These
benchmarks reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Strategic Opportunities Fund - Class T on
May 31, 1988, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. As the
chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would have
grown to $36,799 - a 267.99% 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 investment would have grown to $55,171 - a 451.71%
increase.
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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND - CLASS B
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). Initial offering of Class B shares took place on June 30,
1994. Class B shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in
returns after June 30, 1994. Returns prior to June 30, 1994 are those
of Class T, and reflect Class T shares' prior 0.65% 12b-1 fee. Had
Class B shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to June 30,
1994 would have been lower. Class B shares' contingent deferred sales
charges included in the past six months, past one year, past five
years and past 10 years total return figures are 5%, 5%, 2% and 0%,
respectively. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses,
the past five and 10 year total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class B'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 Class B's returns to those of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of
common stocks. To measure how Class B's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation funds
average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past six
months average represents a peer group of 247 mutual funds. These
benchmarks reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Strategic Opportunities Fund - Class B on
May 31, 1988. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the
investment would have grown to $37,422 - a 274.22% 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 investment would have grown to
$55,171 - a 451.71% increase.
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
Although renewed concerns about 
economic difficulties in Asia late 
in the period tempered the rapid 
growth of U.S. equity markets, the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a 
measure of the U.S. stock market - 
still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term growth 
- - helping many of these stocks to 
rebound quickly. In addition, the 
continued strength of the U.S. 
economy, combined with low 
interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The upward 
climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced a 
negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with Harris Leviton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Strategic Opportunities Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, HARRIS?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A,
Class T and Class B shares had returns of 2.55%, 2.66% and 2.40%,
respectively. During the same period, the capital appreciation funds
average posted a return of 9.06%, according to Lipper Analytical
Services, and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 15.06%. For the
12 months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A, Class T and
Class B shares had returns of 19.59%, 19.87% and 19.26%, respectively,
while the capital appreciation funds average had a total return of
22.75%, and the S&P 500 returned 30.69%.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND LAG ITS PEERS AND THE S&P 500 OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. Almost all of the fund's underperformance in the past six months
can be attributed to the fact that small- and mid-capitalization
stocks lagged large-cap stocks in April and May of this year. Although
the fund did well during the first quarter of 1998, I tended not to
own the large-cap, blue chip names that have done so well in the past
two months. One of the main reasons the fund did not own these larger
companies is that its objective is to focus on "special situations,"
which often are smaller more volatile companies. The fund's relative
performance was less disappointing over the past 12 months because the
small- and mid-cap segment of the market outperformed the overall
market quite significantly last fall.
Q. YOU HAVE INCREASED THE FUND'S WEIGHTINGS IN BOTH THE CONSUMER
DURABLES AND CONSTRUCTION AND REAL ESTATE SECTORS. WHAT WAS THE
STRATEGY BEHIND THESE MOVES?
A. One of the biggest reasons that I liked the construction and real
estate sector was that it has been out of favor for many years due to
overbuilding in the 1980s. Now, after many years, supply and demand
are coming back into balance and the sector is starting to look
attractive. I initiated a large position in USG Corporation - which
makes the gypsum wall board used in construction - as well as smaller
positions in other construction-related companies such as NCI Building
Systems and ABT Building Products. Also, the construction of more
homes and offices tends to lead to the purchase of more furniture,
carpets and appliances. This has led me to add to the fund's weighting
in so-called "consumer durables." The companies I added during the
period were carpet makers Mohawk Industries and Shaw Industries as
well as furniture companies Ladd Furniture and Bassett Furniture. I
also added to the fund's position in the flooring retailer Maxim
Group.
Q. FINANCIAL STOCKS CONTINUED TO BE STRONG PERFORMERS DURING THE
PERIOD, YET THE FUND REMAINED UNDERWEIGHTED. WHY WAS THAT?
A. Even though there had been a steady stream of bank takeovers, I
thought that the financial stocks themselves were vulnerable. We have
had a very long period of strong performance in the sector and
price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios - a measure of how much an investor is
paying for a company's earnings power - were way above historical
levels. I was also concerned about the potential for default on
consumer loans, which starts to become an issue when we are this far
into an economic cycle.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DID WELL? WHICH STOCKS DISAPPOINTED?
A. Some of the best-performing stocks in the fund during the period
were the ones acquired by larger companies - such as American Bankers
Insurance Group and Harveys Casino Resorts.  The most disappointing
positions were the smaller-cap stocks. In particular, two medical
technology companies - Alliance Pharmaceutical and Cygnus  - saw
clinical partnerships they had arranged with larger, medical-products
companies fall through, resulting in a decline in their stock price
during the period. 
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Even though we have had the best of all possible worlds in the past
few years, I continue to believe we are going to have a tough market
environment going forward. The dollar is strengthening to the point
where U.S. exports may slow, we are pretty late in the economic cycle
and stock valuations are very high. This "bull market" can't go on
forever, so I have chosen companies that have compelling products and
solid prospects - and that hopefully will be able to weather potential
market downturns fairly well.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS REPORT REFLECT THOSE OF THE PORTFOLIO
MANAGER ONLY THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD OF THE REPORT AS STATED ON

ON MARKET AND OTHER CONDITIONS.
 
HARRIS LEVITON ON MERGERS 
AND ACQUISITIONS: 
"While I don't go looking for 
companies that are buy-out 
targets, it is inevitable in a market 
like we've seen that there will be 
acquisitions. This is because the 
larger, acquiring companies are able 
to use their high-priced stock as an 
attractive `currency' to buy smaller 
companies.
"Four of the fund's holdings were 
acquired by other companies during 
the period: American Bankers 
Insurance Group, which has been 
one of the largest holdings in the 
fund, announced it was going to 
sell out to the large business 
services company Cendant 
Corporation; Harveys Casino 
Resorts was sold to a Los 
Angeles-based, real estate 
investment firm; Alumax was sold 
to the aluminum giant Alcoa; and 
the record company Polygram was 
sold to Seagrams, the Canadian 
beverage company.
"These acquisitions, the news of 
which typically drives up the stock 
price of the target company, are 
one of the benefits of having 
smaller companies in a fund. 
However, since it is virtually 
impossible to predict which 
companies are going to be taken 
over, it's best to buy them on the 
value of their basic business rather 
than trying to guess if they will be a 
takeover candidate."

For the period ended May 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Strategic Opportunities Fund (the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Initial Class, and
Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to
assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights
with respect to matters that affect that class. Investment income,
realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses
of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are
allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net
assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class
of shares differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and
certain other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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
date and settlement on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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 non-taxable dividends, net operating losses 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
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, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $232,281,695 and $252,992,445, respectively.
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

MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
adjustment (up to a maximum of (plus/minus).20% of the fund's average
net assets over the performance period) based on the investment
performance of the asset-weighted average return of all classes as
compared to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of
 .40% of average net assets after the performance adjustment. 
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares, except for the Initial Class
(collectively referred to as "the Plans"). Under certain of the Plans,
the class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate
of FMR, a distribution and service fee. A portion of this fee may be
reallowed to securities dealers, banks, and other financial
institutions for the distribution of each class of shares and
providing shareholder support services. For the period, this fee was
based on the following annual rates of the average net assets of each
applicable class:
CLASS A            
          .25%     
 
CLASS T            
          .50%     
 
CLASS B            
          1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
          PAID TO      RETAINED BY  
          FDC          FDC          
 
CLASS A   $ 3,783      $ 0

          $ 1,925,703  $ 453,650    
 
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
CLASS A    $      
          1,735   
 
CLASS T    $      
          68,890  
 
CLASS B    $      
          44,440  
 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T and Initial
Class shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent
deferred sales charges levied on Class B share redemptions 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
occurring within six years of purchase. Contingent deferred sales
charges are based on declining rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B
of the lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or
the net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
                PAID TO    RETAINED BY   
                FDC        FDC

* WHEN CLASS B SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS COMMISSIONS FROM
ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL 
 INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and
Institutional Class. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for the Initial Class. FIIOC
and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according
to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the
respective classes of the fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting,
printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy
statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC
or FSC:

ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The 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 $85,981 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR agreed to reimburse certain transfer agent, registration and other
class specific expenses for Class A. For the period, the reimbursement
reduced these expenses by $639.
FMR has also 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 $9,025 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and each class' transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of
uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian fees were reduced by $4,936
under the custodian arrangement, and each applicable class' expenses
were reduced as follows under the transfer agent arrangements:
          TRANSFER

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. 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.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
past five and 10 year total returns would have been lower.

</TABLE>
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Initial Class' 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 Initial Class' returns to those of
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index
of common stocks. To measure how Initial Class' performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation
funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The
past six months average represents a peer group of 247 mutual funds.
These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains,
if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUNDS AVERAGE                  22.75%  15.41%  14.45%   
 
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the Initial Class' cumulative return
and show you what would have happened if Initial Class 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 slightly 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 Advisor Strategic Opportunities Fund - Initial
Class on May 31, 1988, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. As
the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would
have grown to $38,842 - a 288.42% 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 investment would have grown to $55,171 - a 451.71%
increase. 
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
Although renewed concerns about 
economic difficulties in Asia late 
in the period tempered the rapid 
growth of U.S. equity markets, the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a 
measure of the U.S. stock market - 
still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term growth 
- - helping many of these stocks to 
rebound quickly. In addition, the 
continued strength of the U.S. 
economy, combined with low 
interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The upward 
climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced a 
negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with Harris Leviton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Strategic Opportunities Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, HARRIS?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Initial
Class shares returned 2.88%, versus 9.06% for the capital appreciation
funds average tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, and 15.06% for
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. For the 12 months that ended May 31,
1998, the fund's Initial Class shares returned 20.49% versus 22.75%
for the capital appreciation funds average and 30.69% for the S&P 500.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND LAG ITS PEERS AND THE S&P 500 OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. Almost all of the fund's underperformance in the past six months
can be attributed to the fact that small- and mid-capitalization
stocks lagged large-cap stocks in April and May of this year. Although
the fund did well during the first quarter of 1998, I tended not to
own the large-cap, blue chip names that have done so well in the past
two months. One of the main reasons the fund did not own these larger
companies is that its objective is to focus on "special situations,"
which often are smaller more volatile companies. The fund's relative
performance was less disappointing over the past 12 months because the
small- and mid-cap segment of the market outperformed the overall
market quite significantly last fall.
Q. YOU HAVE INCREASED THE FUND'S WEIGHTINGS IN BOTH THE CONSUMER
DURABLES AND CONSTRUCTION AND REAL ESTATE SECTORS. WHAT WAS THE
STRATEGY BEHIND THESE MOVES?
A. One of the biggest reasons that I liked the construction and real
estate sector was that it has been out of favor for many years due to
overbuilding in the 1980s. Now, after many years, supply and demand
are coming back into balance and the sector is starting to look
attractive. I initiated a large position in USG Corporation - which
makes the gypsum wall board used in construction - as well as smaller
positions in other construction-related companies such as NCI Building
Systems and ABT Building Products. Also, the construction of more
homes and offices tends to lead to the purchase of more furniture,
carpets and appliances. This has led me to add to the fund's weighting
in so-called "consumer durables." The companies I added during the
period were carpet makers Mohawk Industries and Shaw Industries as
well as furniture companies Ladd Furniture and Bassett Furniture. I
also added to the fund's position in the flooring retailer Maxim
Group.
Q. FINANCIAL STOCKS CONTINUED TO BE STRONG PERFORMERS DURING THE
PERIOD, YET THE FUND REMAINED UNDERWEIGHTED. WHY WAS THAT?
A. Even though there had been a steady stream of bank takeovers, I
thought that the financial stocks themselves were vulnerable. We have
had a very long period of strong performance in the sector and
price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios - a measure of how much an investor is
paying for a company's earnings power - were way above historical
levels. I was also concerned about the potential for default on
consumer loans, which starts to become an issue when we are this far
into an economic cycle.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DID WELL? WHICH STOCKS DISAPPOINTED?
A. Some of the best-performing stocks in the fund during the period
were the ones acquired by larger companies - such as American Bankers
Insurance Group and Harveys Casino Resorts.  The most disappointing
positions were the smaller-cap stocks. In particular, two medical
technology companies - Alliance Pharmaceutical and Cygnus  - saw
clinical partnerships they had arranged with larger, medical-products
companies fall through, resulting in a decline in their stock price
during the period. 
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Even though we have had the best of all possible worlds in the past
few years, I continue to believe we are going to have a tough market
environment going forward. The dollar is strengthening to the point
where U.S. exports may slow, we are pretty late in the economic cycle
and stock valuations are very high. This "bull market" can't go on
forever, so I have chosen companies that have compelling products and
solid prospects - and that hopefully will be able to weather potential
market downturns fairly well.

HARRIS LEVITON ON MERGERS 
AND ACQUISITIONS: 
"While I don't go looking for 
companies that are buy-out 
targets, it is inevitable in a market 
like we've seen that there will be 
acquisitions. This is because the 
larger, acquiring companies are able 
to use their high-priced stock as an 
attractive `currency' to buy smaller 
companies.
"Four of the fund's holdings were 
acquired by other companies during 
the period: American Bankers 
Insurance Group, which has been 
one of the largest holdings in the 
fund, announced it was going to 
sell out to the large business 
services company Cendant 
Corporation; Harveys Casino 
Resorts was sold to a Los 
Angeles-based, real estate 
investment firm; Alumax was sold 
to the aluminum giant Alcoa; and 
the record company Polygram was 
sold to Seagrams, the Canadian 
beverage company.
"These acquisitions, the news of 
which typically drives up the stock 
price of the target company, are 
one of the benefits of having 
smaller companies in a fund. 
However, since it is virtually 
impossible to predict which 
companies are going to be taken 
over, it's best to buy them on the 
value of their basic business rather 
than trying to guess if they will be a 
takeover candidate."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Strategic Opportunities Fund (the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Initial Class, and
Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to
assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights
with respect to matters that affect that class. Investment income,
realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses
of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are
allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net
assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class
of shares differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and
certain other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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
date and settlement on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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 non-taxable dividends, net operating losses 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
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, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $232,281,695 and $252,992,445, respectively.
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 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
adjustment (up to a maximum of (plus/minus).20% of the fund's average
net assets over the performance period) based on the investment
performance of the asset-weighted average return of all classes as
compared to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of
 .40% of average net assets after the performance adjustment. 
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares, except for the Initial Class
(collectively referred to as "the Plans"). Under certain of the Plans,
the class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate
of FMR, a distribution and service fee. A portion of this fee may be
reallowed to securities dealers, banks, and other financial
institutions for the distribution of each class of shares and
providing shareholder support services. For the period, this fee was
based on the following annual rates of the average net assets of each
applicable class:
CLASS A            
          .25%     
 
CLASS T            
          .50%     
 
CLASS B            
          1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
          PAID TO      RETAINED BY  
          FDC          FDC          
 
CLASS A   $ 3,783      $ 0

          $ 1,925,703  $ 453,650    
 
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
CLASS A    $      
          1,735   
 
CLASS T    $      
          68,890  
 
CLASS B    $      
          44,440  
 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T and Initial
Class shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent
deferred sales charges levied on Class B share redemptions 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
occurring within six years of purchase. Contingent deferred sales
charges are based on declining rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B
of the lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or
the net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
                PAID TO    RETAINED BY   
                FDC        FDC

* WHEN CLASS B SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS COMMISSIONS FROM
ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL 
 INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and
Institutional Class. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for the Initial Class. FIIOC
and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according
to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the
respective classes of the fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting,
printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy
statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC
or FSC:

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 $85,981 for the
period.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
FIDELITY ADVISOR STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND - INSTITUTIONAL CLASS
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place
on July 3, 1995. Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible
investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to July 3,
1995 are those of Initial Class. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the past five and 10 year total returns would
have been lower. 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

</TABLE>
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' 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 Institutional Class'
returns to those of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely
recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks. To measure how
Institutional Class' performance stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the capital appreciation funds average, which reflects
the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 247 mutual funds. These benchmarks reflect
the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude
the effect of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the Institutional Class' cumulative
return and show you what would have happened if Institutional Class
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 slightly
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 Advisor Strategic Opportunities Fund -
Institutional Class on May 31, 1988. As the chart shows, by May 31,
1998, the value of the investment would have grown to $40,003 - a
300.03% 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
investment would have grown to $55,171 - a 451.71% increase. 
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
Although renewed concerns about 
economic difficulties in Asia late 
in the period tempered the rapid 
growth of U.S. equity markets, the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a 
measure of the U.S. stock market - 
still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term growth 
- - helping many of these stocks to 
rebound quickly. In addition, the 
continued strength of the U.S. 
economy, combined with low 
interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The upward 
climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced a 
negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with Harris Leviton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Strategic Opportunities Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, HARRIS?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 2.75%, versus 9.06% for the
capital appreciation funds average tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services, and 15.06% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. For the 12
months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Institional Class shares
returned 20.14% versus 22.75% for the capital appreciation funds
average and 30.69% for the S&P 500.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND LAG ITS PEERS AND THE S&P 500 OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. Almost all of the fund's underperformance in the past six months
can be attributed to the fact that small- and mid-capitalization
stocks lagged large-cap stocks in April and May of this year. Although
the fund did well during the first quarter of 1998, I tended not to
own the large-cap, blue chip names that have done so well in the past
two months. One of the main reasons the fund did not own these larger
companies is that its objective is to focus on "special situations,"
which often are smaller more volatile companies. The fund's relative
performance was less disappointing over the past 12 months because the
small- and mid-cap segment of the market outperformed the overall
market quite significantly last fall.
Q. YOU HAVE INCREASED THE FUND'S WEIGHTINGS IN BOTH THE CONSUMER
DURABLES AND CONSTRUCTION AND REAL ESTATE SECTORS. WHAT WAS THE
STRATEGY BEHIND THESE MOVES?
A. One of the biggest reasons that I liked the construction and real
estate sector was that it has been out of favor for many years due to
overbuilding in the 1980s. Now, after many years, supply and demand
are coming back into balance and the sector is starting to look
attractive. I initiated a large position in USG Corporation - which
makes the gypsum wall board used in construction - as well as smaller
positions in other construction-related companies such as NCI Building
Systems and ABT Building Products. Also, the construction of more
homes and offices tends to lead to the purchase of more furniture,
carpets and appliances. This has led me to add to the fund's weighting
in so-called "consumer durables." The companies I added during the
period were carpet makers Mohawk Industries and Shaw Industries as
well as furniture companies Ladd Furniture and Bassett Furniture. I
also added to the fund's position in the flooring retailer Maxim
Group.
Q. FINANCIAL STOCKS CONTINUED TO BE STRONG PERFORMERS DURING THE
PERIOD, YET THE FUND REMAINED UNDERWEIGHTED. WHY WAS THAT?
A. Even though there had been a steady stream of bank takeovers, I
thought that the financial stocks themselves were vulnerable. We have
had a very long period of strong performance in the sector and
price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios - a measure of how much an investor is
paying for a company's earnings power - were way above historical
levels. I was also concerned about the potential for default on
consumer loans, which starts to become an issue when we are this far
into an economic cycle.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DID WELL? WHICH STOCKS DISAPPOINTED?
A. Some of the best-performing stocks in the fund during the period
were the ones acquired by larger companies - such as American Bankers
Insurance Group and Harveys Casino Resorts.  The most disappointing
positions were the smaller-cap stocks. In particular, two medical
technology companies - Alliance Pharmaceutical and Cygnus  - saw
clinical partnerships they had arranged with larger, medical-products
companies fall through, resulting in a decline in their stock price
during the period. 
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Even though we have had the best of all possible worlds in the past
few years, I continue to believe we are going to have a tough market
environment going forward. The dollar is strengthening to the point
where U.S. exports may slow, we are pretty late in the economic cycle
and stock valuations are very high. This "bull market" can't go on
forever, so I have chosen companies that have compelling products and
solid prospects - and that hopefully will be able to weather potential
market downturns fairly well.

HARRIS LEVITON ON MERGERS 
AND ACQUISITIONS: 
"While I don't go looking for 
companies that are buy-out 
targets, it is inevitable in a market 
like we've seen that there will be 
acquisitions. This is because the 
larger, acquiring companies are able 
to use their high-priced stock as an 
attractive `currency' to buy smaller 
companies.
"Four of the fund's holdings were 
acquired by other companies during 
the period: American Bankers 
Insurance Group, which has been 
one of the largest holdings in the 
fund, announced it was going to 
sell out to the large business 
services company Cendant 
Corporation; Harveys Casino 
Resorts was sold to a Los 
Angeles-based, real estate 
investment firm; Alumax was sold 
to the aluminum giant Alcoa; and 
the record company Polygram was 
sold to Seagrams, the Canadian 
beverage company.
"These acquisitions, the news of 
which typically drives up the stock 
price of the target company, are 
one of the benefits of having 
smaller companies in a fund. 
However, since it is virtually 
impossible to predict which 
companies are going to be taken 
over, it's best to buy them on the 
value of their basic business rather 
than trying to guess if they will be a 
takeover candidate."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Strategic Opportunities Fund (the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Initial Class, and
Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to
assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights
with respect to matters that affect that class. Investment income,
realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses
of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are
allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net
assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class
of shares differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and
certain other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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
date and settlement on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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 non-taxable dividends, net operating losses 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
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, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $232,281,695 and $252,992,445, respectively.
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 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
adjustment (up to a maximum of (plus/minus).20% of the fund's average
net assets over the performance period) based on the investment
performance of the asset-weighted average return of all classes as
compared to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of
 .40% of average net assets after the performance adjustment. 
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares, except for the Initial Class
(collectively referred to as "the Plans"). Under certain of the Plans,
the class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate
of FMR, a distribution and service fee. A portion of this fee may be
reallowed to securities dealers, banks, and other financial
institutions for the distribution of each class of shares and
providing shareholder support services. For the period, this fee was
based on the following annual rates of the average net assets of each
applicable class:
CLASS A    .25%     
 
CLASS T    .50%     
 
CLASS B    1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
          PAID TO      RETAINED BY  
          FDC          FDC          
 
CLASS A   $ 3,783      $ 0          
 
CLASS T    1,337,061    15,006      
 
CLASS B    584,859      438,644     
 
          $ 1,925,703  $ 453,650    
 
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
CLASS A   $ 1,735   
 
CLASS T   $ 68,890  
 
CLASS B   $ 44,440  
 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T and Initial
Class shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent
deferred sales charges levied on Class B share redemptions 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
occurring within six years of purchase. Contingent deferred sales
charges are based on declining rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B
of the lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or
the net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
                PAID TO    RETAINED BY   
                FDC        FDC

                $ 307,614  $ 177,131     
 
* WHEN CLASS B SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS COMMISSIONS FROM
ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL 
 INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and
Institutional Class. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for the Initial Class. FIIOC
and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according
to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the
respective classes of the fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting,
printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy
statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC
or FSC:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
FIDELITY ADVISOR LARGE CAP FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September
3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in
returns after September 3, 1996. Returns prior to September 3, 1996
are those of Class T and reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1 fee. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns
would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage

the fund started on February 20, 1996. 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 Class A's
returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a
widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks. To measure how
Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it

invested in Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Fund - Class A on February 20,
1996, when the fund started, and the current 5.75% sales charge was

would have grown to $15,078 - a 50.78% increase on the initial

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.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
life of fund total returns would have been lower.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Fund - Class B on February 20,
1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the
value of the investment, including the effect of the applicable
contingent deferred sales charge, would have been $15,525 - a 55.25%
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 investment
would have grown to $17,781 - a 77.81% increase.
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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR LARGE CAP FUND - CLASS C
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November
3, 1997. Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. Returns between
February 20, 1996 and November 3, 1997 are those of Class B, and
reflect Class B shares' 1.00% 12b-1 fee. Class C shares' contingent
deferred sales charge included in the past six months and one year
total return figures are 1.00%. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain
class expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class C's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on February 20, 1996. 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 Class C's
returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a
widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks. To measure how
Class C'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 Analytical Services,
Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 970 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGERS' OVERVIEW
 
 
 
MARKET RECAP
ALTHOUGH RENEWED CONCERNS ABOUT 
ECONOMIC DIFFICULTIES IN ASIA LATE 
IN THE PERIOD TEMPERED THE RAPID 
GROWTH OF U.S. EQUITY MARKETS, THE 
STANDARD & POOR'S 500 INDEX - A 
MEASURE OF THE U.S. STOCK MARKET - 
STILL MANAGED TO RETURN 15.06% 
DURING THE SIX MONTHS THAT ENDED 
MAY 31, 1998. AS FEARED, SOME 
U.S. CORPORATIONS WITH BUSINESS 
EXPOSURE TO ASIA DID REPORT 
DISAPPOINTING EARNINGS AND THEIR 
STOCKS WERE HARSHLY PUNISHED. 
HOWEVER, INVESTORS SEEMED TO 
ADOPT A NEW ATTITUDE - ONE THAT 
OVERLOOKED SHORT-TERM TROUBLES 
AND FOCUSED ON LONGER-TERM GROWTH 
- - HELPING MANY OF THESE STOCKS TO 
REBOUND QUICKLY. IN ADDITION, THE 
CONTINUED STRENGTH OF THE U.S. 
ECONOMY, COMBINED WITH LOW 
INTEREST RATES AND LOW INFLATION, 
SEEMED TO BUOY THE STOCK MARKET 
FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD. THE UPWARD 
CLIMB OF THE STOCK MARKET 
STAGNATED IN MID- AND LATE MAY 
WHEN INVESTORS WERE INUNDATED 
WITH WORRISOME NEWS ABOUT THE 
STABILITY OF ASIAN MARKETS. 
SPECIFICALLY, THE PRESIDENT OF 
INDONESIA RESIGNED AMIDST CIVIL 
STRIFE AND A BATTLE OVER NUCLEAR 
TESTING ERUPTED BETWEEN PAKISTAN 
AND INDIA. CONCERNS ABOUT FALLING 
DEMAND FOR U.S. EXPORTS 
PARTICULARLY HURT TECHNOLOGY 
COMPANIES, ESPECIALLY DURING THE 
INTENSIFIED INVESTIGATION OF 
MICROSOFT BY THE JUSTICE 
DEPARTMENT IN MAY. AS A RESULT OF 
CONCERNS ABOUT THESE TUMULTUOUS 
EVENTS AND THEIR POTENTIAL IMPACT 
ON THE U.S. ECONOMY, THE DOW 
JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE PRODUCED A 
NEGATIVE RETURN IN MAY FOR THE FIRST 
TIME IN 1998 - ALTHOUGH THE DOW 
WAS STILL UP 13.29% FOR THE FIRST FIVE 
MONTHS OF 1998.
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: On April 1, 1998, Karen Firestone became
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Fund. The following is
an interview with Thomas Sprague, who managed the fund during most of
the period covered by this report, along with comments from Karen
Firestone on her outlook and investment approach.
Q. HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS, TOM?
T.S. For the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 13.81%, 14.00%, 13.77%
and 13.70%, respectively, while over the same period, the growth funds
average tracked by Lipper Analytical Services returned 11.98% and the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 15.06%. For the 12 months that
ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C
shares returned 27.10%, 27.29%, 26.76% and 26.69%, respectively, while
the growth funds average returned 25.86% and the S&P returned 30.69%.
Q. WHILE THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE WAS AHEAD OF ITS PEERS, IT TRAILED THE
S&P 500 SLIGHTLY. WHY WAS THAT?
T.S. The most significant factor in the fund's performance relative to
the market was that it was underweighted relative to the S&P 500 in
the so-called mega-cap stocks. By this I mean the biggest 50 names in
the market. The main reason the fund did not own more of these
mega-cap stocks was that they were selling at what I thought were very
high valuations. The underweighting did not help over the course of
the past 12 months as these stocks performed quite well. Also, the
fund was not fully invested. It had a 4% cash equivalent balance, on
average, to handle cash flows into and out of the fund. In the kind of
market we've been having - one that has gone up 30% to 40% a year -
that can hurt performance relative to the index.
Q. HOW DID SOME OF THE FUND'S SECTOR STRATEGIES WORK?
T.S. The fund's large stake in the healthcare sector helped.
Schering-Plough, the maker of the successful allergy drug Claritin,
announced new joint ventures which should broaden its product line and
improve its sales over the long term. This helped boost the stock
during the period. American Home Products, another successful
pharmaceutical maker that has been the subject of takeover
speculation, also performed well in this period. Some of the fund's
industrial holdings also posted strong returns. The conglomerate Tyco
International, one of the fund's largest holdings at the  start of the
period and a successful purchaser of small industrial and consumer
companies, performed well and was sold from the fund. Alcatel, a
European telecommunications equipment provider, reported excellent
earnings and its stock also did well during the period.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTING SECTORS?
T.S. Yes, some of our technology holdings struggled during the period,
due mostly to reduced demand resulting from the Asian crisis and a
back-up in inventory levels at some personal computer manufacturers.
One such company was the semiconductor manufacturer Adaptec, and, as a
result, we sold our holdings in this company during the period.
Q. TURNING TO YOU, KAREN, WHAT ADJUSTMENTS HAVE YOU MADE TO THE FUND
SINCE YOU CAME ON BOARD?
K.F. In terms of sectors, I increased the health care and the media
and communications weightings. In health care, I added to the fund's
positions in Johnson & Johnson and Merck; in the communications area,
I bought Viacom, CBS and Tribune Co. These investments were based
somewhat on the knowledge I acquired following the media industry and
the health care industry earlier in my career. 
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
K.F. I feel the fundamentals of the economy and the market are fairly
solid. By that I mean that both inflation and interest rates are low.
Also, the large growth companies that have driven the market over the
past three years continue to have good earnings power. Although their
sales growth is not what I'd call stellar, we are still seeing
earnings acceleration in the mid-teen range. So, to the extent that
money flows into the market, I see growth companies continuing to
benefit.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS REPORT REFLECT THOSE OF THE PORTFOLIO
MANAGERS ONLY THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD OF THE REPORT AS STATED ON
THE COVER. THE MANAGERS' VIEWS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME BASED
ON MARKET AND OTHER CONDITIONS.
 
KAREN FIRESTONE ON HER 
INVESTMENT APPROACH:
"In general, I feel the mandate of 
this fund is to buy the best of the 
large cap growth stocks. Though 
their valuations have been quite 
high, and they have led the 
market, I will probably be 
inclined toward staying with 
them if I feel their earnings 
prospects look strong going 
forward.
"In terms of how I evaluate specific 
companies, I look for sales growth 
that is accelerating - moving 
from 10% to 15%, for example - 
because of new product 
introductions or increased 
global reach. I also like companies 
that have improving gross-profit 
margins due to declines in the 
cost-of-goods sold, for example. 
Lastly, companies that have 
increasing market share is another 
positive attribute that I look for."
FUND FACTS
GOAL: to seek long-term 
growth of capital by investing 
primarily in companies with 
market capitalization greater 
than $1 billion at the time of 
investment.
START DATE: February 20, 1996
SIZE: as of May 31, 1998, 
more than $99 million.

For the period ended May 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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 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
date and 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
settlement 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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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 net operating losses 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 fund, along with other
affiliated entities of 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $98,093,350 and $80,921,131, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly 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. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .60% of average net
assets.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with

SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of

shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. In
addition, purchases of Class A and Class T shares that were subject to
a finder's fee bear a contingent deferred sales charge on assets that
do not remain in the fund for at least one year. The Class A and Class
T contingent deferred sales charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of
the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the net asset
value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and
capital gains. A portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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

FIDELITY ADVISOR LARGE CAP FUND - INSTITUTIONAL CLASS
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
life of fund total returns would have been lower.

GROWTH FUNDS AVERAGE              11.98%  25.86%  N/A      
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one
year or since the fund started on February 20, 1996. 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 Institutional Class' returns to the performance of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common
stocks. To measure how Institutional Class' 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 Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 970 mutual funds. These benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude
the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Fund - Institutional Class on
February 20, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by May
31, 1998, the value of the investment would have grown to $16,172 - a
61.72% 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
investment would have grown to $17,781 - a 77.81% increase.
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 MANAGERS' OVERVIEW
 
 
 
MARKET RECAP
ALTHOUGH RENEWED CONCERNS ABOUT 
ECONOMIC DIFFICULTIES IN ASIA LATE 
IN THE PERIOD TEMPERED THE RAPID 
GROWTH OF U.S. EQUITY MARKETS, THE 
STANDARD & POOR'S 500 INDEX - A 
MEASURE OF THE U.S. STOCK MARKET - 
STILL MANAGED TO RETURN 15.06% 
DURING THE SIX MONTHS THAT ENDED 
MAY 31, 1998. AS FEARED, SOME 
U.S. CORPORATIONS WITH BUSINESS 
EXPOSURE TO ASIA DID REPORT 
DISAPPOINTING EARNINGS AND THEIR 
STOCKS WERE HARSHLY PUNISHED. 
HOWEVER, INVESTORS SEEMED TO 
ADOPT A NEW ATTITUDE - ONE THAT 
OVERLOOKED SHORT-TERM TROUBLES 
AND FOCUSED ON LONGER-TERM GROWTH 
- - HELPING MANY OF THESE STOCKS TO 
REBOUND QUICKLY. IN ADDITION, THE 
CONTINUED STRENGTH OF THE U.S. 
ECONOMY, COMBINED WITH LOW 
INTEREST RATES AND LOW INFLATION, 
SEEMED TO BUOY THE STOCK MARKET 
FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD. THE UPWARD 
CLIMB OF THE STOCK MARKET 
STAGNATED IN MID- AND LATE MAY 
WHEN INVESTORS WERE INUNDATED 
WITH WORRISOME NEWS ABOUT THE 
STABILITY OF ASIAN MARKETS. 
SPECIFICALLY, THE PRESIDENT OF 
INDONESIA RESIGNED AMIDST CIVIL 
STRIFE AND A BATTLE OVER NUCLEAR 
TESTING ERUPTED BETWEEN PAKISTAN 
AND INDIA. CONCERNS ABOUT FALLING 
DEMAND FOR U.S. EXPORTS 
PARTICULARLY HURT TECHNOLOGY 
COMPANIES, ESPECIALLY DURING THE 
INTENSIFIED INVESTIGATION OF 
MICROSOFT BY THE JUSTICE 
DEPARTMENT IN MAY. AS A RESULT OF 
CONCERNS ABOUT THESE TUMULTUOUS 
EVENTS AND THEIR POTENTIAL IMPACT 
ON THE U.S. ECONOMY, THE DOW 
JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE PRODUCED A 
NEGATIVE RETURN IN MAY FOR THE FIRST 
TIME IN 1998 - ALTHOUGH THE DOW 
WAS STILL UP 13.29% FOR THE FIRST FIVE 
MONTHS OF 1998.
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: On April 1, 1998, Karen Firestone became
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Fund. The following is
an interview with Thomas Sprague, who managed the fund during most of
the period covered by this report, along with comments from Karen
Firestone on her outlook and investment approach.
Q. HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS, TOM?
T.S. For the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 14.22%, while over the same period
the growth funds average tracked by Lipper Analytical Services
returned 11.98% and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 15.06%.
For the 12 months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Institutional
Class shares returned 27.87%, while the growth funds average returned
25.86% and the S&P 500 Index returned 30.69%.
Q. WHILE THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE WAS AHEAD OF ITS PEERS, IT TRAILED THE
S&P 500 SLIGHTLY. WHY WAS THAT?
T.S. The most significant factor in the fund's performance relative to
the market was that it was underweighted relative to the S&P 500 in
the so-called mega-cap stocks. By this I mean the biggest 50 names in
the market. The main reason the fund did not own more of these
mega-cap stocks was that they were selling at what I thought were very
high valuations. The underweighting did not help over the course of
the past 12 months as these stocks performed quite well. Also, the
fund was not fully invested. It had a 4% cash equivalent balance, on
average, to handle cash flows into and out of the fund. In the kind of
market we've been having - one that has gone up 30% to 40% a year -
that can hurt performance relative to the index.
Q. HOW DID SOME OF THE FUND'S SECTOR STRATEGIES WORK?
T.S. The fund's large stake in the healthcare sector helped.
Schering-Plough, the maker of the successful allergy drug Claritin,
announced new joint ventures which should broaden its product line and
improve its sales over the long term. This helped boost the stock
during the period. American Home Products, another successful
pharmaceutical maker that has been the subject of takeover
speculation, also performed well in this period. Some of the fund's
industrial holdings also posted strong returns. The conglomerate Tyco
International, one of the fund's largest holdings at the  start of the
period and a successful purchaser of small industrial and consumer
companies, performed well and was sold from the fund. Alcatel, a
European telecommunications equipment provider, reported excellent
earnings and its stock also did well during the period.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTING SECTORS?
T.S. Yes, some of our technology holdings struggled during the period,
due mostly to reduced demand resulting from the Asian crisis and a
back-up in inventory levels at some personal computer manufacturers.
One such company was the semiconductor manufacturer Adaptec, and, as a
result, we sold our holdings in this company during the period.
Q. TURNING TO YOU, KAREN, WHAT ADJUSTMENTS HAVE YOU MADE TO THE FUND
SINCE YOU CAME ON BOARD?
K.F. In terms of sectors, I increased the health care and the media
and communications weightings. In health care, I added to the fund's
positions in Johnson & Johnson and Merck; in the communications area,
I bought Viacom, CBS and Tribune Co. These investments were based
somewhat on the knowledge I acquired following the media industry and
the health care industry earlier in my career. 
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
K.F. I feel the fundamentals of the economy and the market are fairly
solid. By that I mean that both inflation and interest rates are low.
Also, the large growth companies that have driven the market over the
past three years continue to have good earnings power. Although their
sales growth is not what I'd call stellar, we are still seeing
earnings acceleration in the mid-teen range. So, to the extent that
money flows into the market, I see growth companies continuing to
benefit.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS REPORT REFLECT THOSE OF THE PORTFOLIO
MANAGERS ONLY THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD OF THE REPORT AS STATED ON
THE COVER. THE MANAGERS' VIEWS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME BASED
ON MARKET AND OTHER CONDITIONS.
 
KAREN FIRESTONE ON HER 
INVESTMENT APPROACH:
"In general, I feel the mandate of 
this fund is to buy the best of the 
large cap growth stocks. Though 
their valuations have been quite 
high, and they have led the 
market, I will probably be 
inclined toward staying with 
them if I feel their earnings 
prospects look strong going 
forward.
"In terms of how I evaluate specific 
companies, I look for sales growth 
that is accelerating - moving 
from 10% to 15%, for example - 
because of new product 
introductions or increased 
global reach. I also like companies 
that have improving gross-profit 
margins due to declines in the 
cost-of-goods sold, for example. 
Lastly, companies that have 
increasing market share is another 
positive attribute that I look for."
FUND FACTS
GOAL: to seek long-term 
growth of capital by investing 
primarily in companies with 
market capitalization greater 
than $1 billion at the time of 
investment.
START DATE: February 20, 1996
SIZE: as of May 31, 1998, 
more than $99 million.
MANAGER: Karen Firestone,

For the period ended May 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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 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
date and 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
settlement 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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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 net operating losses 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 fund, along with other
affiliated entities of 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $98,093,350 and $80,921,131, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly 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. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .60% of average net
assets.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares(collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support services.
For the period, this fee was based on the following annual rates of
the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A    .25%     
 
CLASS T    .50%     
 
CLASS B    1.00% *  
 
CLASS C    1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
          PAID TO    RETAINED BY  
          FDC        FDC          
 
CLASS A   $ 3,376    $ -          
 
CLASS T    131,687    830

CLASS C    1,786      1,786       
 
          $ 257,407  $ 93,034     
 
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
CLASS A   $ 1,486  
 
CLASS T    6,070   
 
CLASS B    7,093   
 
CLASS C    1,211   
 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the

SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. In
addition, purchases of Class A and Class T shares that were subject to
a finder's fee bear a contingent deferred sales charge on assets that
do not remain in the fund for at least one year. The Class A and Class
T contingent deferred sales charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of
the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the net asset
value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and
capital gains. A portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to
securities dealers, banks, and other financial institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
          PAID TO   RETAINED BY  
          FDC       FDC          
 
CLASS A   $ 20,734  $ 6,509

CLASS B    18,595    18,595 *    
 
CLASS C    100       100 *       
 
          $ 73,396  $ 35,859     
 
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, BANKS,
 AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
FIDELITY ADVISOR GROWTH & INCOME FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
past one year and life of fund total returns would have been lower. 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

GROWTH & INCOME FUNDS AVERAGE        11.91%  25.47%  N/A      
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on December 31, 1996. 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 Class A's
returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a
widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks. To measure how
Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it
to the growth and income funds average, which reflects the performance
of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of
734 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Growth & Income Fund - Class A on
December 31, 1996, when the fund started, and the current 5.75% sales
charge was paid. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the
investment would have grown to $13,619 - a 36.19% 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 investment would have grown to
$15,086 - a 50.86% increase.
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 or 
bonds 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.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class T's performance in percentage

the fund started on December 31, 1996. 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 Class T's
returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a
widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks. To measure how
Class T's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it
to the growth and income funds average, which reflects the performance
of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of
734 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,

3, 1997. Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in
returns after November 3, 1997. Returns prior to November 3, 1997 are
those of Class B shares and reflect Class B shares 1.00% 12b-1 fee.
Class C's contingent deferred sales charge included in the past six

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Growth & Income Fund - Class C on
December 31, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by May
31, 1998, the value of the investment, would have grown to $14,276 - a
42.76% 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
investment would have grown to $15,086 - a 50.86% increase.
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 or 
bonds 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
Although renewed concerns about 
economic difficulties in Asia late 
in the period tempered the rapid 
growth of U.S. equity markets, the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a 
measure of the U.S. stock market - 
still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term growth 
- - helping many of these stocks to 
rebound quickly. In addition, the 
continued strength of the U.S. 
economy, combined with low 
interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The upward 
climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced a 
negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with Beth Terrana, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Growth & Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BETH?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 15.56%, 15.41%, 15.20%
and 14.94%, respectively. By comparison, the growth and income funds
average tracked by Lipper Analytical Services returned 11.91% and the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 15.06% during the same period.
For the 12 months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A, Class
T, Class B and Class C shares returned 32.32%, 32.29%, 31.53% and
31.21%, respectively, while the Lipper peer group returned 25.47% and
the S&P 500 returned 30.69%. 
Q. THE FUND'S RETURNS COMPARED VERY FAVORABLY WITH THE S&P 500. WHAT
WAS THE KEY REASON?
A. The fund's strong returns were driven by good stock selection
across a broad number of industries. In fact, seven of the fund's top
10 holdings at the end of the period outperformed the S&P 500 over the
past six months. 
Q. THREE OF THE FUND'S TOP 10 HOLDINGS WERE PHARMACEUTICAL STOCKS.
WHAT DID YOU FIND ATTRACTIVE ABOUT THEM?
A. The fund owned each of these stocks for different reasons. For
instance, I felt that Bristol-Myers Squibb was an undervalued growth
stock. The company had an improving product pipeline and financial
profile - positive attributes that I didn't think were accurately
reflected in its stock price relative to other pharmaceutical stocks.
As for American Home Products, I thought it was a cheap stock relative
to pharmaceuticals and the market as a whole, especially after it took
a beating in the fall of 1997 when its weight-loss drug Redux was
recalled after having been linked with heart problems. Finally, I felt
the market had unfairly punished Merck's stock on concerns that the
company would struggle through the patent expirations of several of
its major drugs in the years 2000 and 2001. However, I believed that
management could use tight expense control and share-repurchase
programs to continue to grow earnings in the short term, while
developing several new drugs in its pipeline for the longer term. 
Q. WHAT ABOUT THE FUND'S TWO FINANCIAL HOLDINGS IN THE TOP 10? WHAT
WAS THEIR DRAW?
A. Again, the fund owned these financials for individual reasons.
First, I felt Citicorp was a terrific global franchise that was
extremely undervalued. When Citicorp announced its merger with
Travelers in April 1998, I was even more optimistic about the strength
of the combined entity. As for BankAmerica, I was enthused by a new
management team taking control of an organization that had not been
managed financially  as well as it could have been. The company's plan
to merge with NationsBank was also seen as a positive because it
brings together two companies with very different strengths.
Q. MANY OF THE FUND'S TOP HOLDINGS WERE INVOLVED IN BIG MERGERS DURING
THE PERIOD. HOW DID THESE ACTIONS AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND?
A.  In general, these deals greatly added to the fund's returns during
the period. I think that big mergers are becoming a way of life in an
increasingly competitive market. There is global production
overcapacity in almost every industry and the only way many companies
can continue to grow earnings is by merging and cutting costs. Aside
from expense control, many of these mergers, such as the Citicorp
deal, are strong revenue stories - meaning the companies together can
grow their revenue base. 
Q. WHICH OTHER INDIVIDUAL STOCKS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A.  Tyco International was the single biggest contributor to
performance. The company's management team delivered strong earnings
each quarter after having done a number of acquisitions over the past
year. Wal-Mart, which was up almost 40% during the six-month period,
and Time Warner, which was up about 30%, both added to the fund's
returns. Management at both companies focused on improving earnings
and revenue by building on their existing franchises, and their stock
prices were duly rewarded.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM PERFORMANCE?
A. Consolidated Stores - one of the best performers last year -
suffered a correction during the period as sales of popular toys
slowed down dramatically. Philip Morris - along with the other tobacco
stocks - suffered as litigation intensified and Congress squeezed them
for bigger settlements. Finally, Diebold's stock was hurt as bank
mergers reduced the amount of money spent on ATM networks.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I will continue to position the fund with the assumption that
economic growth is not accelerating. In the current environment,
consumers are producing much of the strength in the economy, as
industrial companies struggle with production overcapacity that has
been exacerbated by declines in many Asian economies. This means I
must be vigilant in seeking out strong individual companies that can
continue to grow earnings and revenue.

BETH TERRANA ON HER IDEAL 
STOCK:
"MY IDEAL STOCK HAS THREE GENERAL 
ATTRIBUTES. FIRST, I LOOK FOR RIGOROUS 
DAY-TO-DAY MANAGEMENT DIRECTED 
AT MAXIMIZING PROFIT MARGINS. 
SECOND, I SEEK OUT A DISCIPLINED 
FOCUS ON BALANCE-SHEET 
MANAGEMENT AND FREE-CASH-FLOW 
GENERATION OVER MULTIPLE TIME 
PERIODS. THIRD, I LIKE TO SEE A 
MANAGEMENT TEAM WITH A KILLER 
INSTINCT AIMED AT BEATING THE 
COMPETITION AND INCREASING 
MARKET SHARE. 
"MY STOCK SELECTION REMAINS 
PARTICULARLY FOCUSED ON COMPANIES 
THAT CAN IMPROVE THEIR FINANCIAL 
RETURNS IN TODAY'S COMPETITIVE 
MARKET. I PAY TREMENDOUS 
ATTENTION TO COMPANIES THAT ARE 
IMPROVING FINANCIAL RETURNS 
BECAUSE STOCK PRICES TEND TO FOLLOW 
RETURNS, AND IMPROVING RETURNS 
GENERALLY LEAD TO HIGHER 
PRICE-TO-EARNINGS MULTIPLES - AN 
IMPORTANT MEASURE OF A STOCK'S 
VALUE. IN TODAY'S WORLD OF SLOWING 
CORPORATE PROFIT GROWTH AND 
HISTORICALLY HIGH VALUATIONS, I 
THINK THAT IDENTIFYING COMPANIES 
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR 
PRICE-TO-EARNINGS EXPANSION IS 
CRITICAL. ONE WAY THAT COMPANIES 
ARE GROWING PROFITS FROM 
ALREADY-RECORD LEVELS IS BY 
INSTITUTING AGGRESSIVE 
COST-MANAGEMENT AND PRODUCTIVITY 
INITIATIVES. I BELIEVE THAT THESE 
EFFORTS ARE ESSENTIAL IN SUSTAINING 
PROFIT GROWTH AND CURRENT 
VALUATION LEVELS IN A SLOWING GLOBAL 
ECONOMY, AND WITHIN A BUSINESS 
ENVIRONMENT THAT UNIVERSALLY LACKS 
PRICING POWER."

For the period ended May 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Growth & Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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
date and settlement on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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 futures transactions 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
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.,
(formerly FMR Texas, 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, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $211,076,334 and $67,529,615, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly 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 .20%. 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. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .50% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support services. 
For the period, this fee was based on the following annual rates of
the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A   .25%     
 
CLASS T   .50%     
 
CLASS B   1.00% *  
 
CLASS C   1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
          PAID TO    RETAINED BY   
          FDC        FDC           
 
CLASS A   $ 13,616   $ -           
 
CLASS T    478,542    14,066

CLASS C    34,649     34,649       
 
          $ 758,819  $ 222,724     
 
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
parties that assist in the sale of each class' shares or render
shareholder support services. For the period, the following amounts
were paid to third parties under the Plans:
CLASS A   $ 3,228  
 
CLASS T    11,884  
 
CLASS B    7,541   
 
CLASS C    6,895   
 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions. 
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
          PAID TO    RETAINED BY  
          FDC        FDC          
 
CLASS A   $ 152,137  $ 52,422     
 
CLASS T    359,586    129,233     
 
CLASS B    40,998     40,998 *    
 
CLASS C    2,646      2,646 *     
 
          $ 555,367  $ 225,299    
 
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, 
 BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund.
FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according
to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the
respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing
and mailing of all

* ANNUALIZED.
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc., an affiliate of FMR,
maintains the fund's accounting records. The 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 $30,366 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
The fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and each

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
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 there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
FIDELITY ADVISOR GROWTH & INCOME FUND - INSTITUTIONAL CLASS
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate 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 class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED MAY 31, 1998              PAST 6  PAST 1  LIFE OF

GROWTH & INCOME FUNDS AVERAGE           11.91%  25.47%  N/A      
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one
year or since the fund started on December 31, 1996. 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
Institutional Class' return to the performance of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common
stocks. To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the growth and income funds
average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past six
months average represents a peer group of 734 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Growth & Income Fund - Institutional
Class on December 31, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows,
by May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would have grown to
$14,508 - a 45.08% 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
investment would have grown to $15,086 - a 50.86% increase.
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 or 
bonds 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
Although renewed concerns about 
economic difficulties in Asia late 
in the period tempered the rapid 
growth of U.S. equity markets, the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a 
measure of the U.S. stock market - 
still managed to return 15.06% 
during the six months that ended 
May 31, 1998. As feared, some 
U.S. corporations with business 
exposure to Asia did report 
disappointing earnings and their 
stocks were harshly punished. 
However, investors seemed to 
adopt a new attitude - one that 
overlooked short-term troubles 
and focused on longer-term growth 
- - helping many of these stocks to 
rebound quickly. In addition, the 
continued strength of the U.S. 
economy, combined with low 
interest rates and low inflation, 
seemed to buoy the stock market 
for much of the period. The upward 
climb of the stock market 
stagnated in mid- and late May 
when investors were inundated 
with worrisome news about the 
stability of Asian markets. 
Specifically, the president of 
Indonesia resigned amidst civil 
strife and a battle over nuclear 
testing erupted between Pakistan 
and India. Concerns about falling 
demand for U.S. exports 
particularly hurt technology 
companies, especially during the 
intensified investigation of 
Microsoft by the Justice 
Department in May. As a result of 
concerns about these tumultuous 
events and their potential impact 
on the U.S. economy, the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average produced a 
negative return in May for the first 
time in 1998 - although the Dow 
was still up 13.29% for the first five 
months of 1998.
An interview with Beth Terrana, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Growth & Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BETH?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 15.82%. By comparison, the growth
and income funds average tracked by Lipper Analytical Services
returned 11.91% and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 15.06%
during the same period. For the 12 months that ended May 31, 1998, the
fund's Institutional Class shares returned 32.97%, while the Lipper
peer group returned 25.47% and the S&P 500 returned 30.69%. 
Q. THE FUND'S RETURNS COMPARED VERY FAVORABLY WITH THE S&P 500. WHAT
WAS THE KEY REASON?
A. The fund's strong returns were driven by good stock selection
across a broad number of industries. In fact, seven of the fund's top
10 holdings at the end of the period outperformed the S&P 500 over the
past six months. 
Q. THREE OF THE FUND'S TOP 10 HOLDINGS WERE PHARMACEUTICAL STOCKS.
WHAT DID YOU FIND ATTRACTIVE ABOUT THEM?
A. The fund owned each of these stocks for different reasons. For
instance, I felt that Bristol-Myers Squibb was an undervalued growth
stock. The company had an improving product pipeline and financial
profile - positive attributes that I didn't think were accurately
reflected in its stock price relative to other pharmaceutical stocks.
As for American Home Products, I thought it was a cheap stock relative
to pharmaceuticals and the market as a whole, especially after it took
a beating in the fall of 1997 when its weight-loss drug Redux was
recalled after having been linked with heart problems. Finally, I felt
the market had unfairly punished Merck's stock on concerns that the
company would struggle through the patent expirations of several of
its major drugs in the years 2000 and 2001. However, I believed that
management could use tight expense control and share-repurchase
programs to continue to grow earnings in the short term, while
developing several new drugs in its pipeline for the longer term. 
Q. WHAT ABOUT THE FUND'S TWO FINANCIAL HOLDINGS IN THE TOP 10? WHAT
WAS THEIR DRAW?
A. Again, the fund owned these financials for individual reasons.
First, I felt Citicorp was a terrific global franchise that was
extremely undervalued. When Citicorp announced its merger with
Travelers in April 1998, I was even more optimistic about the strength
of the combined entity. As for BankAmerica, I was enthused by a new
management team taking control of an organization that had not been
managed financially  as well as it could have been. The company's plan
to merge with NationsBank was also seen as a positive because it
brings together two companies with very different strengths.
Q. MANY OF THE FUND'S TOP HOLDINGS WERE INVOLVED IN BIG MERGERS DURING
THE PERIOD. HOW DID THESE ACTIONS AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND?
A.  In general, these deals greatly added to the fund's returns during
the period. I think that big mergers are becoming a way of life in an
increasingly competitive market. There is global production
overcapacity in almost every industry and the only way many companies
can continue to grow earnings is by merging and cutting costs. Aside
from expense control, many of these mergers, such as the Citicorp
deal, are strong revenue stories - meaning the companies together can
grow their revenue base. 
Q. WHICH OTHER INDIVIDUAL STOCKS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A.  Tyco International was the single biggest contributor to
performance. The company's management team delivered strong earnings
each quarter after having done a number of acquisitions over the past
year. Wal-Mart, which was up almost 40% during the six-month period,
and Time Warner, which was up about 30%, both added to the fund's
returns. Management at both companies focused on improving earnings
and revenue by building on their existing franchises, and their stock
prices were duly rewarded.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM PERFORMANCE?
A. Consolidated Stores - one of the best performers last year -
suffered a correction during the period as sales of popular toys
slowed down dramatically. Philip Morris - along with the other tobacco
stocks - suffered as litigation intensified and Congress squeezed them
for bigger settlements. Finally, Diebold's stock was hurt as bank
mergers reduced the amount of money spent on ATM networks.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I will continue to position the fund with the assumption that
economic growth is not accelerating. In the current environment,
consumers are producing much of the strength in the economy, as
industrial companies struggle with production overcapacity that has
been exacerbated by declines in many Asian economies. This means I
must be vigilant in seeking out strong individual companies that can
continue to grow earnings and revenue.

BETH TERRANA ON HER IDEAL 
STOCK:
"MY IDEAL STOCK HAS THREE GENERAL 
ATTRIBUTES. FIRST, I LOOK FOR RIGOROUS 
DAY-TO-DAY MANAGEMENT DIRECTED 
AT MAXIMIZING PROFIT MARGINS. 
SECOND, I SEEK OUT A DISCIPLINED 
FOCUS ON BALANCE-SHEET 
MANAGEMENT AND FREE-CASH-FLOW 
GENERATION OVER MULTIPLE TIME 
PERIODS. THIRD, I LIKE TO SEE A 
MANAGEMENT TEAM WITH A KILLER 
INSTINCT AIMED AT BEATING THE 
COMPETITION AND INCREASING 
MARKET SHARE. 
"MY STOCK SELECTION REMAINS 
PARTICULARLY FOCUSED ON COMPANIES 
THAT CAN IMPROVE THEIR FINANCIAL 
RETURNS IN TODAY'S COMPETITIVE 
MARKET. I PAY TREMENDOUS 
ATTENTION TO COMPANIES THAT ARE 
IMPROVING FINANCIAL RETURNS 
BECAUSE STOCK PRICES TEND TO FOLLOW 
RETURNS, AND IMPROVING RETURNS 
GENERALLY LEAD TO HIGHER 
PRICE-TO-EARNINGS MULTIPLES - AN 
IMPORTANT MEASURE OF A STOCK'S 
VALUE. IN TODAY'S WORLD OF SLOWING 
CORPORATE PROFIT GROWTH AND 
HISTORICALLY HIGH VALUATIONS, I 
THINK THAT IDENTIFYING COMPANIES 
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR 
PRICE-TO-EARNINGS EXPANSION IS 
CRITICAL. ONE WAY THAT COMPANIES 
ARE GROWING PROFITS FROM 
ALREADY-RECORD LEVELS IS BY 
INSTITUTING AGGRESSIVE 
COST-MANAGEMENT AND PRODUCTIVITY 
INITIATIVES. I BELIEVE THAT THESE 
EFFORTS ARE ESSENTIAL IN SUSTAINING 
PROFIT GROWTH AND CURRENT 
VALUATION LEVELS IN A SLOWING GLOBAL 
ECONOMY, AND WITHIN A BUSINESS 
ENVIRONMENT THAT UNIVERSALLY LACKS 
PRICING POWER."

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Growth & Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series I (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
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
date and settlement on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
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 is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class. 
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 futures transactions 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 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.
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
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
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.,
(formerly FMR Texas, 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, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $211,076,334 and $67,529,615, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly 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 .20%. 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. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .50% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support services. 
For the period, this fee was based on the following annual rates of
the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A   .25%     
 
CLASS T   .50%     
 
CLASS B   1.00% *  
 
CLASS C   1.00% *  
 
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
          PAID TO    RETAINED BY   
          FDC        FDC           
 
CLASS A   $ 13,616   $ -

          $ 758,819  $ 222,724     
 
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
parties that assist in the sale of each class' shares or render
shareholder support services. For the period, the following amounts
were paid to third parties under the Plans:
CLASS A   $ 3,228  
 
CLASS T    11,884  
 
CLASS B    7,541   
 
CLASS C    6,895   
 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions. 
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
          PAID TO    RETAINED BY  
          FDC        FDC          
 
CLASS A   $ 152,137  $ 52,422     
 
CLASS T    359,586    129,233     
 
CLASS B    40,998     40,998 *    
 
CLASS C    2,646      2,646 *     
 
          $ 555,367  $ 225,299    
 
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, 
 BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund.
FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according
to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the
respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing
and mailing of all

ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc., an affiliate of FMR,
maintains the fund's accounting records. The 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 $30,366 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
The fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and each
class' transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of
uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian fees were reduced by $834
under the custodian arrangement, and each applicable class' expenses
were reduced as follows under the transfer agent arrangements:
          TRANSFER
