AS the writer promised in his Fair article of Thursday that finer wealth CT would be resultant of great good in augmenting theattendance at our State Fair, he was dely gratified to see his prediction fulfilled Friday.
 Friday heing Ladies and Chil- dren's Day at our State Fair, it was certainly to be expected that Heaven would second the efforts of the Fair managers in so far as to vouchsafe to them one fair day in which, by the introduction to the grounds Of beauty, purity and innocence they might retrieve the one false step they madein allowing the dissertation of the grounds by the admittance of the horde of Midway dancers.
 The grounds and the grand stand certainly presented a gala-day ap- pearance on Friday afternoon, and to stand by and watch the frelie- some enjoyment of the happy school children and to admire the beauty and grace of the ladies present was certainly pleasure. and it was with regret the reporter turned from the happy scene and betook himself to his duty in
