The stafford Fair.

AT STAFFORD SPRINGS, CONN.,, OCT. 9TH
 AND 9TH, 1885.
 Gov. 6yde of the committee on invited guests. has received telegram from Sen ator Hawley announcing that he will cer tainly be at the fair on Friday. Senator Platt also has promised to attend if possl- ble.
 The show of poultry looms up as the entries come in. Nothing like it has ever been seen in this section. Last years con- siderable exhibit combined was not equal to one entry made this year. Buy tickets at Medbery's storeRnd avoid the crowd at the gates. Tickets for the grand stand are also yet on sale there.
 The ticket office at the grounds is now removed to the open space at the junction of -streets near W. Aborn's residence, and the room thus gained at the entrance is utilized by making two gates-for entrance and exit.
 There are today Wednesday, twenty trotters on the ground, and many more will arrive during the day.
 Good order will be preserved. Selected policemen from Hartford will act in unison with local regular and special police.
 Among entries in the foot races are Raby, the English champion walker, Nor emac, Heggelman, Maus, Delany, Golden, Mcdonald of New York Grant, Driscoll, Nelligan of Boston; Weaver, Wykof ot Albany, Wood of Saratoga Springs, and others.
 Paul B. Green of Lyle's Beach hotel
 will serve a shore dinner on both days, in cluding clans baked in sea weed. Most of the horses entered here go next week to the fall meeting of the Norwich trotting association.
