THE DANBURY FAIR.

Third Day The Excursion Train
From New Haven-Curiosities in
the Side Show Tents-Entr1es for
the Races.
The attendance at the Danbury fair yes
terday was seriously affected by the damp
weather of the forenoon. With pleasant
weather this morning, to-day will be one
of the big days in regard to attendance.
This is the last day for the excursion
train from this city, which leaves the
Derby depot at $40 this morning. This
train, which runs direct to the fair
ground, has been well patronized during
the fair and will doubtless have consider
able patronage to-day.
B. G. Lynes, the proprietor of the
Pahquioque farm, who has filled the
office of secretary for long term of
years, is one of the very busy men at the
fair.
In the tent devoted to the display OF
carriages are many fine vehicles from this
city. The Boston Blackboard company
show six vehicles. The G.. T. Newhall
| Carriage company have five vehicles al
| the fair. Other exhibitors from this city
are W1lllah ELu"0rlCu duu w 1llldU
| Leech.
Among the interesting freaks in the side
show tents is filly sixteen months old
with only three legs. AS the mare was
born with only one fore leg she spends
most of the time lying down.
In the same tent is a Holstein heife1
eighteen months old that was born will
only three legs. Like the flly she is def
| Gent in one front leg.
| Several of the other side show tents con
tain living animals that are freaks of ma
| ture.
Mr.. F. G. Payne, superintendent of the
Danbury and Norwalk railroad, is very
busy during fair week with his extra rail
road business. When the first excursion
train from this city arrived at the White
street depot at Danbury, which was sup
posed to be the end of the run, Mr.. Payne
was on hand and quickly made arrange
ments for the train to run to the fail
grounds, which it did, to the convenience
of the many passengers. From this poin
| to the fair ground trains run every fifteen
minutes.
Mr. Payne ably manages the train ser
vice of the Danbury and Norwalk railroad
which road has four extra excursion trains
daily. This year an excursion train has
run from Brooklyn, N. Y, to Danbury
This train runs over the Long Island rail
road to Oyster bay, thence across the
sound on barges to Wilson's Point, anc
over the Danbury and Norwalk road tt
