THE DANRURY FAIR.

An Extensive Exhibit - Westchester
 Girl Wins The 2:29 Race-To-Day's
 TrOtting.
 There was large attendance at the Dan bury fair yesterday, and the attractions are so extensive and so varied that all who at tend the fair can see much to interest them. The extensive assortment of machinery in- terests mechanics and agriculturalists finger over many of the machines which are de- signed for agricultural pursuits. One of the machines is for saving large logs. Breeders of valuable cattle can spend much time among the new cattle sheds that are occu- pied by the full-blooded stock. The high prices named for the stock, and the pride of the owners and attendants, is evidence of ths profit and pleasure of breeding fine cat tie. F. L. Staples of Easton, Conn, exhib- it's large Holstein bull of the enormous weight of 2,300 pounds. There is large exhibit of full-blooded cattle at the fair. In one of the side show tents is @ Holstein heifer nearly two years old that has only three legs. The heifer is in good condition and very gentle, and hops around on her single fore leg apparently as well contented as if she had four or five legs. John Ferris, of Stamford, has exhibited large pair of jet black oxen that are very fat and heavy and weigh, as stated, 5, 400 pounds These oxen have been celebrated for their size for the last four years.
 The kennel show is extensive and interest ing, and the same may be said of the poultry exhibit. Some fine carriages are at the fair. The Boston Blackboard company and Sea brook 6 Smith are exhibitors of nice car riages that are manufactured in this city.
 A variety of beautiful pictures are in the art gallery, which is one of the most attrac tive places at the fair. Crowds of visitors in this building stop to listen to pleasing music from the pianos and other musical instru- meGts. The first prize for pianos at the re- cent New York State fair at Albany was talk en to Connecticut by Joseph Keller & Go. of Bridgeport, who are showing fine pianos at the fair. Lobdell & Miners display of silks, worsteds and fancy articles is beauti- full and worth the visitors attention.
 When the judges called for the horses in the 2:29 class six drivers appeared with the horses named. Westchester Girl, who has trotted two races each week during the last twelve weeks, won this race easily.

NEW HAVEN YACHT CLUB.

Annual Fall Regatta-A Cool October
 Day-A Fine Contest And Successful
 SaiI-The Winning Boats And The
 Summary of The Regatta.
 With the exception of slight frostiness in the air, the annual fall regatta of the New Haven Yacht club, which took place yester- day, was sailed under very favorable condi- tions. The early sun rose on frost-covered staging and the air was keen enough to call out the reefng jackets and winter coats into use, but it did not take old Sol much time to remind one of the past summer, and before long the club house began to assume some of it's customary yachting weather life. By 10 o'clock quite number of the fleet were in shipshape for the contest and shortly after the steamer Messenger, containing the judges, timekeepers and members of the press, steamed down the harbor for the starting line. The wind was fairly fresh from the westward and evidences of lasting breeze were apparent. The Alice was the first boat over the line after the firing of the starting gun, crossing at Il :33. The rest of the fleet closely followed and by il :43 they were all on the way and struggling for victory. The water, sky and white winged fleet looked un- usually pretty in the clear and crisp air, a mirage now and then in the distance making
  The race was over the usual course and was completed in unusually good time, being in the neighborhood of two hours shorter than that of the same race last year. The wind held throughout and the club is to be congratulated upon the good management and happy result of the whole affair.
 In class 0 the sloop Wild Duck was the winner and was awarded the first prize, sil- yer ice pitcher. The sloop Happy Thought was second and was awarded the special prize, a pennant from Commodore James G. Beecher.
 In class D the sloop Stranger was the win ner and was awarded the first prize, an alarm clock. The sloop Vixen was second and receives second prize, barometer Tho sloop Endeavor third and the winner of the special prize, an alligator travelling bag. In ..class E the sloop Alice won and receives the prize, an alarm clock. Following is the

He has been great sufferer from rheumatism and blood poisoning but obtained very little relief from medicine or doctors until he com menced using Brandreths pills. He took fifty pills in ten days. They not only cured him of rheumatism, but gave him vigorous appetite and purified his blood completely.

Height Of Waves.

The height Of the waves produced at
sea in d storm depends mainly on the
two conditions OF the depth of the
water through which they travel and
Of the length of "fetch" or unbroken
space which extends from the shore,
1t follows that the most gigantic waves
are produced where tho sea rushes for
the longest distance and at the great.
est depth directly on the shore. In
tine long duel between man and nature
we here arrive at the term of human
power. At Wick, with fetch ofabout
600 miles, waves OF 40 feet in height
from crest to trough have been OBJ.
served to snite the breakwater. Com.
mander Dayman observed that the
highest waves of the Cape of Good
Hope rose 30 feet, the gales which pro.
duce them extending over a distance
OF from 800 to 500 miles. In the At.
| ]antic Ocean DR.. Scoresby measured
the waves with great care and accuracy
on different occasions. In March, l84l,
he wrote: Gin the afternoon of this
! day stood sometimes on the saloon
deck or cuddy roof watching the sub.
lime spectacle presented by the turbu.
lent waters. I am not aware that ]
ever saw the sea more terribly mag.
ni6cent.' Looking from the port pad
ole box, he says: 81 found at least
| one-half OF the waves which overlook
and passed the ship were far above the
| level ofmy eye. Frequently observed
long ranges mot accumulated peaks)
extending 100 yards, perhapsson one
or both sides of the ship, the sea then
coming nearly right aft, which rose so
high above the visible horizon as to
form an angle estimated at two or
three degrees, when the distance of The
wave SUBMITS was about 100 yards
from the observer. This measure oi
elevation was by no means uneo mmon,
occurring, should think. at least
once in half q dozen waves. Some
times peaks of crossing or, .crests soi
breaking seas would shoot upward at
least 10 or Is feet higher. !" The mean
highest waves, not including the broken
or accumulated crests, DR.. Scoresby
estimates as rising about 43 feet above
the level of the hollow occupied at the
moment by the ship.-The Edinburgh
