o'clock when another parade was made
up and down the Street and the cattle
halted again in front of the hall and
those who were to enter the drawing
contest were selected out. In the class
for three years old there were four con-
testants, John Thornhill, S. B. Warner,
L. N. Somers and A. G. Macarthur. Mr.
Thornhill secured the premium. In the
class for four years old there were but
two contestants, l. A. Hawley and
George Northrop. Mr. Hawley secured
the premium. In the class for five years
or over there were four contestants, S.
B. Warner, Isaac A. Hawley, John r.
Peck and James Coles. Mr. Warner Sc
cured the premium. The drawing con-
tests were watched with great interest
and frequent bursts of admiration for the
cattle's good work could be heard. In
fact the men were so anxious to see the
contests that they crowded so near the
cattle that they hardly had sufficient
room to work in. 1t did look as if the
stone boat was not going to be large
enough to hold enough to set the Oldest
class, but by piling men on until there
was room for no more it was finally done.
1t took about two hours to finish the
drawing contest. Every one was all ex-
element when the bicycle race was an
nounced. 1t was to decide where that
bicycle lamp offered by Arthur S. Haw-
ley as a premium was to find home.
The two principal contestants were
HENRY MOORE AND HARRY oRGELMAN,
though Richard Reilly and Charles Nor
gan started. The race between the
leaders was hot. Henry Moore led down
to the flag pole, when in making the
turn he lost ground and Harry Orgelman
secured the lead. On the stretch for the
tape line Moore gradually overlook Or
gelman, crossing the line about three
lengths ahead and winning the trophy.
A subsequent race between Charles Nor
gan and Richard Reilly was easily taken
by the former. The peg race between G.
B. johnson and Bert Wildman caused
some sport and would have been quite
close had not Mr. Wildman lost his cour-
age when he saw his rival start off ahead
of him and did not start his horse until
Mr. Johnson had nearly crossed the line
a winner. By this time it was nearly
five o'clock and the crowd began to start
homeward, well satisfied with the days
proceedings. The hall and tent were
kept open during the evening and many
awaited themselves of the opportunity to
examine the exhibits by lamp light and
hear the Sandy Hook orchestra, for they
furnished music during the evening. 1t
was beautiful night with large, bright
hunters moon shining in the sky and it
is not strange that so many turned out.
The receipts at the door for Tuesday
we're about $50.
WEDNESDAY, PROCEEDINGS.
Wednesday dawned bright and fair, a
more beautiful fair day even than Tues
day, and such a crowd as came to town.
The Street was lined with people intent
on watching what was going on, renew
ing old acquaintance and having an en-
joyable time generally. Every available
hitching place held on to horse, to say
nothing of the teams that found shelter
in friendly barns or paraded their good
looks up and down the Street. The cat
tie had all departed for their homes,
Tuesday night, and Wednesday was Civ
en- over entirely to the horsemen. Early
in the morning the loose stone and de-
bris of the day before was raked off the
roadway and by 10 o'clock all was il
readiness. The Danbury band had been
engaged for the day and announced their
IL
flag pole. Afterward they came to the
front of the Town hall, where place
was arranged for them and during the
day gave some very satisfactory music
