maries of the Races-The Balloon
Ascension.
The attendance at the Danbury fair yes
terday was estimated to be 10000. The
tents and building, and large part of the
open space was crowded during the after
noon. Every seat in the large gsand
stand was occupied during the race on the
half mile track, inside of which were a
large number of teams which were hitched
to the ratings.
One of the very attractive turnouts at
the fair was fourth hand team of horses
with bang tails, hitched to a very stylish
drag The owner, Mr.. Isaac Ives of Dan
bury, who handled the reins, showed his
dexterous driving among the many teams
at the fair ground. Among the guests of
Mr.. Ives were Colonel Tracy Warren of
Bridgeport, James Bristol and F. L. New
ton of New Haven.
On Wednesday Mr.. Ives was at the fair
with four-in-hapd team of handsome
black horses with long tails. These two
pairs were recently purchased by Mr.. Ives
of E. E. Bristol of New Haven.
In some of the departments the show
was not up to the standard of former
years. This was particularly noticeable in
regard to the poultry show which was not
as good as formerly. A large number of
the coops were empty. Frank Dole of
this city won a large number of premiums
with his prize dogs.
Professor H. R. Ward made a balloon
ascension to fearful heighth from which
he descended with parachute.
\ According to estimate the attendance has
been less this year than during late years.
