David Kennedy's Remedy ssnever knew

been cured by its use."
DIR Sunderland subsequently took charge
of the case and at last report Mr. Peck
was feeling much better.
The peg races were good. In the first
race were five contestants, Sherman Gro
futt, w. G. johnson, George w. North
rop, Harlow Benedict and Stanley Black
man. They gave the crowd their first
chance to have real big laugh and fin
ished in the order given above, Sherman
Crofutt winning the prize, good stable
blanket. Another blanket and another
race was arranged later, with the same
number, but different contestants. This
race and blanket was won by w. G. john
son, the other contestants coming in as
follows: Stanley j. Blackman, Patrick
Cannon, Harlow Benedict, A. G. Near
thur. W.. G. johnson and A. G. Near
thur got into little dispute regarding
the speed of their respective trotters and
settled it by little race for fun. Mr.
Macarthur won the heat.
The bicycle race was watched with in
terest and the prize offered was Connec
ticut road book. Henry Moore won the
race, followed by Arthur Hawley, Harry
Curtis and Charles Morgan. A second
race was attempted between Arthur
! Hawley, Harry Curtis and Charles Nor
gan, but those who watched the home
tape line only saw Charles Morgan cross
it, for the other contestants got lost some
where down by the liberty pole and
didn't come home at all.
THE AFTERNOONS FUN WAS ENDED,
people began to depart, everybody re
marking, "What fine fair you have
had.'' The hall remained open during
Wednesday evening and was well filled
with visitors. st Johns orchestra, I'M
der the leadership of Rev o. o. Wright,
furnished the music, as they also did on
the previous evening, to the pleasure of
all. Thus has ended our second annual
fair. 1t was more systematic and better
arranged than last year, and if it has
come TO stay we ought not to have to
meet on the highway, which after all is
not very good place for fair, but we
should have an enclosed ground and be
like folks. Now is the time to act. If
Newtown wants an annual fair let's have
a suitable place in which to build it. The
Changers and horsemen should act ir
concert, if such a move be made.
