EX-99

August 19, 1996
Mr. John Costello, Assistant Treasurer
Fidelity Hastings Street Trust (the trust):
Fidelity Fifty
Fidelity Fund (the funds)
82 Devonshire Street
Boston, Massachusetts 02109
Dear Mr. Costello:
Fidelity Fund, Inc. was a corporation organized under the laws of 
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on May 1, 1930.  It was 
reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust and its name was 
changed to Fidelity Fund under a written Declaration of Trust dated 
September 27, 1984, executed and delivered in Boston, 
Massachusetts on October 1, 1984.  Supplements to the 
Declaration of Trust were filed with the Secretary of the 
Commonwealth on February 1, 1985 and February 23, 1990.  The 
trust's name was changed to Fidelity Hastings Street Trust by a 
Supplement to the Declaration of trust executed on April 26, 1993, 
and delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on April 29, 1993.  A 
restated Declaration of Trust, dated June 16, 1994, was executed 
on July 14, 1994 and delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on August 
17, 1994.
I have conducted such legal and factual inquiry as I have deemed 
necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise herein defined, are 
used as defined in the Declaration of Trust.
Under Article III, Section 1, of the Declaration of Trust, the 
beneficial interest in the Trust shall be divided into such transferable 
Shares of one or more separate and distinct Series as the Trustees 
shall from time to time create and establish.  The number of Shares 
is unlimited and each Share shall be without par value and shall be 
fully paid and non assessable.  The Trustees shall have full Power 
and authority, in their sole discretion and without obtaining any 
prior authorization or vote of the Shareholders of the Trust to 
create and establish (and to change in any manner) Shares with such 
preferences, voting powers, rights, and privileges as the Trustees 
may from time to time determine, to divide or combine the Shares 
into a greater or lesser number, to classify or reclassify any issued 
Shares into one or more Series of Shares, to abolish any one or 
more Series of Shares, and to take such other action with respect to 
the Shares as the Trustees may deem desirable.
Under Article III, Section 4, the Trustees shall accept investments 
in the Trust from such persons and on such terms as they may from 
time to time authorize.  Such investments may be in the form of 
cash or securities in which the appropriate Series is authorized to 
invest, valued as provided in Article X, Section 3.  After the date of 
the initial contribution of capital, the number of Shares to represent 
the initial contribution may in the Trustees' discretion be considered 
as outstanding and the amount received by the Trustees on account 
of the contribution shall be treated as an asset of the Trust.  
Subsequent investments in the Trust shall be credited to each 
Shareholder's account in the form of full Shares at the Net Asset 
Value per Share next determined after the investment is received; 
provided, however, that the Trustees may, in their sole discretion, 
(a) impose a sales charge upon investments in the Trust and (b) 
issue fractional Shares.
By a vote adopted on December 14, 1984, and amended on 
February 22, 1985, the Board of Trustees authorized the issue and 
sale, from time to time, of an unlimited number of shares of 
beneficial interest of the trust in accordance with the terms included 
in the current Registration Statement and subject to the limitations 
of the Declaration of Trust and any amendments thereto.
I understand from you that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the 
Investment Company Act of 1940, the trust has registered an 
indefinite amount of shares of beneficial interest under the 
Securities Act of 1933.  I further understand that, pursuant to the 
provisions of Rule 24f-2,  the trust intends to file with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission a Notice making definite the 
registration of 103,347,328 shares of the trust (the "Shares") sold in 
reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 
1996.
I am of the opinion that all necessary trust action precedent to the 
issue of Shares has been duly taken, and that all the Shares were 
legally and validly issued, and are fully paid and non assessable, 
except as described in the funds' Statements of Additional 
Information under the heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability."  
In rendering this opinion, I rely on the representation by the trust 
that it or its agent received consideration for the Shares in 
accordance with the Declaration of Trust and I express no opinion 
as to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, the Investment 
Company Act of 1940 or applicable state "Blue Sky" or securities 
laws in connection with sales of the Shares.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission in connection with a Rule 24f-2 Notice 
which you are about to file under the 1940 Act with said 
commission.
Sincerely,
/s/Arthur S. Loring
