The Newtown bee., 1893-09-29
WORK MORE AssIDUoUsLY

marked that nowhere do the officers and directors
 WORK MORE ASSIDUOUSLY
 for the comfort of their friends and pat rons and the success of the fair, than have President F. w. Wheeler, Secre- tary E. 5. Hawley, the board of direc- tors and their assistants. On noayear of late has their been so many entries in all classes, and the showing was cOnceed- ed to be the best that they had ever had. By Tuesday night nearly all the prelimi- nary arrangements had been made, so that on Wednesday, the real opening day of the fair, there might be no delay. The Huntington fair people have for some years been unfortunate in securing good weather for their fair, and it looked on Wednesday morning as if this year was not going to be an exception to the general rule, for the sky wore a gray, cold appearance, and occasionally
 FEW DROPS OF RAIN
 would fall. But in the afternoon the sun peeped from behind the clouds oc- casionally, and all thoughts of rain were dismissed, though it kept many from at tending on the first day of the fair. Wednesday was more particularly cattle day, and by II o'clock quite goodly number of cattle were strung out on the track getting ready to start the "ball rolling" Anoug those whose pairs of cattle were in the line were, from Mon- roe President F. W. Wheeler 5, Albert Wheeler l, c. L. Burr ,, Fred Hawley l, A. E. Kraemer l, William French l, John Nj. Lake l, $. E. Wales l, Eli Cur tis l, c. McE. Beardsley l, William Fer ris l;

Headed by Marshal George Ben nett, the parade started around the track. The Wheeler & Wilson band furnished the music for the occasion and was next in order in the parade, followed by the 'buss carrying the directors and next the strings of cattle, from Newtown pair, Monroe 15 pair, Huntington 10 pair and Trumbull pair. There were three very HANDSOMELY DECORATED CARTS | The first was from Monroe and was the l handiwork of Mrs Solon E. Wales. It attracted much attention and was a very artistic arrangement of grains, flowers and fruits. In the Huntington string was cart decorated by the Farmil1 Riv- | CT grange, which was also of neat and | original design and received the first | premium for decorated carts. A farm wagon tastefully decorated by Mrs N | Wakelee and drawn by horses, brought up the rear of the procession. Follow ing the parade, the judges awarded the first premium to the Monroe people al having the best string of 10 yoke. The afternoon was spent in testing tn. strength of the cattle. The drawing qualities of a

 belonging to John H. Wheeler of Eastol
 was very favorably commented upon
 Howard Peck's. Isaac Hawley's an, George Shelton's oxen also did goo,
 work. Down by the entrance gate
