THE DANBURY FAIR
Large Attendance-The TrottiI

Large Attendance-The Trotting-
 William Neelyss Rocket Wins the
 2:3O Race-Applause by the Audi
 ence-Many Attractions at the Fair.
 The secretary and other officials of the Danbury Agricultural society estimated the attendance at the fair yesterday to be the largest that was ever present in one day. It was expected that the receipts at the three entrance gates would be about 5000. The many tents, buildings, side show tents, buildings for standard bred horses and cattle, and the open space occu- pied by the large machines, were all more or less crowded with spectators. The per manent buildings, the art gallery and the buildings occupied by the dog show and the display of poultry were more crowded than other localities. '
 THE TRoTTING.
 The races attracted considerable atten- ton during the afternoon. The large grand stand was crowded with spectators when the first race, which was the pacing race, was called. When the starting judge, MT. E. c. Walker of New York, rang the bell five horses appeared-Lady Hill, Eek ford, Maud R., Victory and the bay pacer Monkey Rolla, owned by William Neely of New Haven. Three heats decided the contest. The horses won positions in the order mentioned, which divided the purse of $500 between the first four horses named. The time was 2:2S4, 2:25 and 2:271.
 A collision which occurred in the first heat caused Monkey Rolla to fall back un- til he had opened big gap, which he was fast enough to close up to fifth position at the finish of the heat.
 After this heat he was speedy but did not hold his gait and lost good positions in the two following heats.
 Monkey Rolla has recently won three good races, one at Manchester, N. H., one at Rochester, N. H., and one at Athol, Mass.
 The next race was the 2:3O class which had six starters. In the first heat Golden Russett and Jerome were distanced, and Wm. Neely's Rocket, with 0. D. Smith in the sulky, was fourth. Prince won the
 In the second heat Rocket led at the half, but was passed by Prince, who won at the wire in 2:32A. Rocket, who was a little faster in this heat, was second at the finish.
 The third heat was won by Rocket, which caused loud applause by the large audience in the grand stand. Mir. Smith, the driver, raised his cap in recognition of the applause. Time 2:31i.
 Rocket won the fourth heat which caused another round of applause. Mir. Neely's trotter seemed to be the fayorite of the spectators which was possibly caused by the fact that he was the hand somest horse in the race. Time 2:31. The fifth heat and race was won by Rocket when he received another similar ovation from the spectators. Time 2:32. First money, $150 to Rocket. Second money, $75 to Prince. Third money, $45 to Charles Smart with Harry Laird. $30 to H. H, Howard with General Mack. There were twelve horses that contested in the 2:35 race for trotters. The race was
 won in three heats by w. B. Smith of | Hartford with Susie.
 Three races are on the card for to-day. The fair is to close Saturday night. Sev-
 eral good races are on the program for | Saturday afternoon.

Foreign Missions.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. Oct. 9.--The second days meeting of the American Board be- gan this morning with an increased atten- dance, both of members and delegates. The report of the committee of nine, per haps the most important to report of the convention, was presented by Dr. Walker, the chairman. He said the committee re- ports unanimously. He referred to the finances of the board and the administra- ton of them, and pronounced these to be in excellent condition. He said that while there was much to congratulate them selves on, there was something which the committee did not desire to hide and did not want to hide, which gave fears of solicitude for the financial interest. He then read figures for various years. He showed that the contribution to the board from the churches had not come in as they should have done. If they had the receipts would have been vastly aug mented

DON'T JUDGE BY APPEARANCES.

Major Loucrgan's Error which Cost
Him "a Bottle of "Mcdicine."
Major Thomas Il. Lonergan relates an
adventure that proves how foolish IT is to
pin everything upon mans exterior ap-
pearance, says the Chicago POST
Not long ago Major Lonergan had occa-
sion to make trip through Iowa, and to
prevent any Of the temporary disorders
that the human anatomy is subject to in
the way of cramps and chills, and to ward
off any threatened malarial attack he took
with him an eight-ouncc bottle containing
combination drink in which John Bar
leycorn cut Il very prominent figure.
The reader will bear in mind that the
mixture was. prepared purely and solely
for medicinal purposes.
On the train the expected chill overlook
the Major and he had to have recourse to
his bottle or else make an ignominous sur
render. He had taken the glass affair out
of his valisc and was about to absorb its
contents when in the seat opposite him he
noticed very clcrical-looking gentleman
who appeared TO Major Lonergan's gaze as
prohibition clergyman. He was 80 sure
Of the fact that he at once began to make
profuse apologies for the appearance of the
| bottle. He had been suddenly seized with
| frightful attack of the cramps, he said,
| and had to have immediate relief
The supposed clergyman smiled signiii-

remark in n hearty way to the effect
that-a-er--a-perhap the gentleman
! would not object to taking a taste of a
| very delicious compound.
| As he said these words he courtcously
held out the bottle, expecting, of course.

Lessons From the Army.

U'iHiam Dean Hopells, In he Editors Study
In Rdrper's Magazine for January.
In the Army, with its vague and few
and distant rewards, there may be and
there are rivalrios in devotion and daring,
but there Is no competition for place and
money as there Is in civil life, and yet the
soldiers ideal being duty, the perform
ance Of duty seems sufficient. is state
of things which can suggest much to those
who are fond of battling the hope of bet
ter things in us with the assertion that it
is contrary to human nature to act from
any but interested and selfish motives.
Human nature is great mystery, and we
have not yet begun to solve it; but it APP
pears that q number of men drawn at
random from society and trained to a be-
lief in duty as the chief good, will keep
ON not only living il but dying it. We
civilians talk much, we almost talk solely
Of our rights, but in the Army it seems
that men talk chiefly of their duties, when
they talk at all, and never of their rights.
These things are true of all ranks the
ideal is the same from the private to the
general, and il seems to correct all the
mistaken tendencies of the time before
they became soldiers
If, as Ruskin has fancied, the army
should ever serve us as the norm of the
civil state, and we should come to have
soldiers Of the ploughshare as well rs
soldiers OF the sword,n it might not be
long before we should be told that il was
against human nature to act sellishly, and
that to be recreant to the general welfare
in any aim or deed was to be guilty OF
conduct unbecoming Il citizen and a gen
tleman. However this may be, it Is GER
tain and Il is significant that those who
have attempted to dream out a future
brighter than this present have always
had something like military organiza-
tiun in their eyes; but these yisOnares
have somehow beheld little of the gaiety
and enjoyment which are quite as com
patible with the performance OF duties as
with the assertion Of rights.

The Perfect Woman.

Miss Lucille Eaton Hill, director of the
Wellesley College gymnasium, and Miss
Anna Wood, examiner thereof, have re-
Gently measured 100 women between the
ages of Is and 20 years.
OF the LOO maidens measured and
thumped the tallest was a Diana of 63,7
inches, and the shortest Dumping of
5S.3. The heaviest young woman was the
oldest, and weighed 1875 pounds The
average of weight was li9.5, the lightest
being 1865 pounds. The average height
was 62.7 inches.
From foot to knee the shortest measured
14.9, and the tallest III inches, or about
one-fourth the whole height. The average
was 1876 for height of knee. Girth OF head
averaged 2l.S, with that of neck ~. Varia-
tions here were marked, the circumference
of neck not following the proportion OF
average heights.
Waist measurements of the slimmest
according to these tables, were 1871, and
the fullest were 25.2. The women, 66.3,
G60, 67.3 and 67.7 inches in height, all
had the same waist-25.2. The average
was 2i.2. This measurement may he cor
rect for American women, but it is triile
too little and below that of European
women. A Dutch squat figure inclines to
thick waist. Students of comparative
| anatomy declare that no mechanical pro-
cess should disturb nature when she
uilds up the human form.
~ can not" said a well-known Ameri-
| can artist, whose fame is European, "em-
| ploy wasted woman rs q model.
| 1t is never natural, but has been made.
| Then, what follows? Unnatural exaggera-
| tions in other parts of her body, which
| make her hideous and impossible to draw.
| She is entirely wanting in symmetry.
Hips are deformed and legs thick, and
| she is without grace. Unless she adopts
| bantingism all her proportions are lost"
! Calves of legs differ, the right calf be-
| ing more developed in woman than the
left by 0.2. Where the right calf was
1872 the left calf was 13. Small or thick
ankles vary from 7.6 to 81 inches for the
right ankle and rs to 8.3 for the left
ankle. The general average is s for the
the right and 10 for the left. 1t all de
pends on height--and height normally
means bulk. So how could rs ankle be
| discoverable when woman is 8 feet
inches in height? 1t is asking too much
| But what is most remarkable in these
| measurements is the difference in thu

them, as may be found in the following

AN IDEAL WOMAN.
The Qualities Men Like Bcst In the OPP
positc Sex.

Htbttf NeNs
From he hc,o York Sun.
Here Is mans idea of what the per-
feet woman should be for some sweet
girl to cut out and paste in her scrap book
First of ALL because he is man, he in
ssts that the perfect woman shall always
be well dressed, in as much taste rs the
silly fashion of the day will allow, and in
such way as ITO set of her beauty when
she is young, to make her seem still beau
tiful when she is past her youth and TO
hide the ravages OF time when she il old"
Next she must know something about
art of all kinds-art in painting, sculp-
ture, poetry, literature, music, and must
have trained her eye so that she knows
good work and is not carried away with
shams and humbugs.
Above all she must be sympathetic and
not talk so as to show how clever she Is,
but to bring out the best points Of the
man she is talking TO.
She must be intelligent and gracious,
as well MS sympathetic, and always u
woman's woman, of whom other women
think and speak well.
She must love everything that is beauti-
ful and good, and hate everything that Is
coarse and ugly.
And the man who has set forth this
comprehensive little gospel OF woman
hood, which every girl would do well to
read, mark and inwardly digest, is none
other than Walter Besant.
Ruskin gives dressing, also, ns one Of
the three cardinal virtues which every
womanly woman must possess, and says
that women should always dress beauti-
full, not finely, unless ON OCCASION, and
then very finely and beautifully, too" IL
would appear that, in consideration of re.
| fined men, true women are queens OF
realm by right divine and lose something
| Of their high prerogative when their
| robes of state are shabby and crumplcd.
