THE CLOSING DAY
Of the Fair at South Windsor,
Thursday,
Both a Successful and an Exceedingly
Pleasant One.
Fitting windup TO Most Successful Annus
Exhibition in History Of the Society.


To-day saw the close of it.
Pleasant weather has favored it; crowds
exceeding all precedent, have been in atten-
dance, and the general verdict seems to be
that, all things considered, it is the most
successful annual exhibition ever given in
the history of the society.
The exhibits were all first class, and the
races close and exciting. There was good
sized crowd in attendance, and, judging
from appearances, every one was having a
good time. The fakirs held the fort with
undiminished enthusiasm. Strong men
pounded the striking machine, the African
dodger stopped bals with the stuffed top of
his big winter cap, the tintype man was sim
ply crushed to death"-and every one
seemed TO be getting his moneys worth.
Naturally the interest of closing day
centers chiefly 10 the awards. The com
plete list of these is given below.
