NEW ENGLAND FAIR.

An innovation has been made by the
management of the New England Fair
this year which will unquestionab]y find
great favor with the patrons of the Fair.
According to the new order OF things
there will be continuous performance
in front of the grand stand. AT many
fairs all that the occupants Of the grand
stand are able to sec are the races, but
this year at Rigby there will be con-
tinuous performance in front of the
stand, and between heats acrobatio per-
forInances juggling, vaudeville shows
exhibitions of trick bicycle riding and
many other Interesting novelties will be
presented. One of the most wonderful
horses in the world is Albatross, the
sufdless PAGER. Albatross is handsome
animal to look at, and his intelligence is
almost human. He does not need driver

but will pace on any track and mind the
bell on the judges stand every time 1t Is
sounded. At Rigby two weeks ago Alba
tross paced a half mile without q skip OF
break in so 1-2 seconds and he went to
the quarter pole in % IA seconds. This
would be wonderful performance for
any PAGER living, but when it is con-
sidered that Albatross did it without any
driver to urge or direct him, this per-
formance can be considered nothing less
than phenomenal Although Albatross
has a very low record for mile he is rare
ly sent this distance on account of
physical disability. One often hears of
people who have o portion of their wind
ipe removed and silver tube inserted
in its place, but did you ever hear of the
delicate operation being performed on
horse? Well, it was done on Albatross
whenshe was colt in order to save his
life, and the operation was entirely sue
cessful. The wonderful PAGER apparently
suffers no Inconvenience from breathing
through silver tube unless he is driven

held at Rockland Friday afternoon ovel
the death of Amos Fish of Rockville, &c
years old, who was found dead in his

have been afloat in the village since that
time to the effect that the old man was
the victim of criminal negligence. Coro-
ner Judkins was summoned there sThurE
day afternoon and stopped the funeral
procession on it's way to the grave and
made a preliminary examination of thu
