Connecticut western news., 1889-09-04


 Monday was legal holiday, there fore the Boston parties printed the first and fourth pages of this paper last Saturday evening to avoid making us late to press but the Talmadge sermon is consequently omitted, however the sermons will appear regularly in future unless other causes delay them.
 The name Hartford X Connecticut Western Railroad" was shelved yester- day (Tuesday) for the coming year and probably longer, and the name "Central New England X Western Railroad" was substituted. We are sorry that Mir Walter Pearce was also shelved, but the new management have given Mir N. R. Turner the control of the general passenger department for the whole line. A new time table will take effect next Sunday. The number of trains will be increased and general change in running time made. The new time table will probably appear in the next issue of THE NEWS.
 The managers of the Dutchess County Agricultural Society, whose fair will be held at the Hudson River Driving Park in Poughkeepsie on Sept "A, 25. 26 and 27, wish it distinctly un- derstood that they open their books to exhibitors from Litchfeld county and would be much pleased to have entries from this county. They will have a very low passenger rate from Canaan during the fair. Entries for live stock close Sept IT. Heretofore the society have not closed their entries until after the fair opened but the fair has grown so large and the number of entries is so great it is impossible to properly classi- fy and arrange stable accommodations in less than a week. We hope Litch- field county people will accept the invitation and will promptly respond with large number and variety of entries.
