Tho great Danbury fair closed it's en- with the public for this year, last week. It was better, this year, all through than last year, much better. The directors and officers m ade strenu- ous effort to stop the immoral part of the show, the detestible loud side shows, and were remarkably successful. The sale of intoxicants on the ground too, was carefully watched and these two features alone added much to the comfort of re- spectable people who like to visit such fair, and will if the lawlessness is held in check. The exhibits all through were remarkably fine, and the crowds in at- tendance were numerous, especially the
 last of the week when good weather
 reigned supreme. The sale of tickets
 was not quite as large as last year, but the weather was not as favorable and
 money is tighter which would account
 for some decrease. It can be said in all sincerity that no fair in this part of the country puts up such an excellent show as does the Danbury fair and with care
 full guarding of the side shows, it will hold the supremacy as the "greatest'f for A long time to come. Beautiful horses, handsome stock, mammoth farm pro- ducts and lovely handiwork of the ladies are prominent features, to say nothing of the spirited trOtting and the excellent attraction put up in front of the grand stand The local merchants also made elegant displays, especially notic- able being the displays of A number of TIE BEE advertisers, among whom were Rider Bryant & Co.,, The J. NJ. Ives Co.,, F. A. Hull X Co.,, Mclean Brothers. and D. E, Rogers.
