 These are king-pin hay days and farmers in this vicinity are taking ad- vantage of it with a will.

 The new comet is attracting consider able attention. Last night 1t seemed to point about 8 or 10 degrees north. It has therefore increased considerably in brilliancy. The movements of the comet indicate that it will be plainly visible for several days. It is probably the most brilliant comet that has been seen for about ten years. It is plainly visible to the naked eye at about 9 o'clock, being situated a little to the north of northeast, about 10 degrees above the horizon. It is now thought to be approaching the sun, and if that is the case it will continue to grow brighter for some time.

 Adam Forepaugh arrived in Water bury early this morning from Danbury with his aggregation of equine wonders and ring celebrities. It took two trains Of cars to bring the show here. The street parade this morning was in some respects as fine as any that has been | seen here. The showing of horses and ponies was excellent.

There is cheering relief from the confusion and what might be termed embarrassment of riches that accompanies a so-called "big show" with it's three rings and bewiIdering 1 army Of performers. The Adam Fore paugh's one ring is occupied every minute while the show is in progress and every performer is an artist. The admission is only twenty-five cents.
