Visitors to the r. I. state Fair this
year will at once notice the decided inn
provements in the cattle sheds. They
are ever so much more comfortable for
man and beast. The cattle exhibit
really forms the nucleus OF a fair or
this kind. and many thousands of per-
sons are much interested I'm them. For
that reason new sheds have been built
I'm every way more desirable than the
old. Heretofore the sheds were open on
one side, and only a long-distance rear
view OF the animals was obtainable.
This year commodious passageway
extends lengthwise through the centre
for visitors. and the animals viii be
stalled on each side. There are numer-
ous doors. so that the visitors can go in
and walk all around the animals, III II
is desired 10 inspect them closely. and
the ventilation Is thorough. Although
the MANAGEMENT hopes for fair weather
during fair week, still. II IL should
rain. IL will make no difference. as Wis
itors and cattle will be under cover.
While Rhode Island may not boast
very many cattle. what there are are
OF a very high grade. and the natives
are very choice OF them. The money
premiums TO be awarded at the state
Fair upwards OF s2000) and the variety
OF cattle classes at k1e state Fair cause
this feature to come In for unusual in
fereef.

CRANSTON.

Cranston village, alias Spragueville,
Cranston Print Works and Gchool dis
trict No. 3, has called a special hnan-
cial meeting for September TO ask Tor
a new school house. Cranston has been
growing. and that growth has been
substantial as we'll as rapid, and now
she has arisen In her might and says.
I'VE must have a new school house.
The citizens Of this district say that
they have for the past four years been
promised a new school house; that
substitute was made two years ago
when the school committee added two
rooms to the old school building. This
addition was insufficient and a room
was rented outside. This outside room
was so unfit that pupils and teacher
were sick from bad smells, lack OF ven-
tilation and gas from large stove.
This year 1t has been planned to apan-
don the room mentioned and instead bt
I'm two rooms in the "old kitchen" on
the second floor of the store hall puild-
ing. The people have taken exception
to these old rooms. and more especially
to the extravagant make-shift methods
Of the school committee.
Some citizens threaten to put an iL-
junction upon the us or tnese TWO
rooms outside. 1t is claimed by the
Cranston people that no inteligent man
would expect children to attend scLooi
in such rooms.
Last year there were registered In
this district BAG pupils. This district
has increased its school population
about so every year. In addition to
this IL has been planned to bring to this
district from Knightsville about ~
pupils. This will make a grand total
of about 40S pupils to be accommodated
in Cranston next month. Allowing -
pupils to a room, 1t will require nine
rooms TO accommodate this number.
The present school building contains
only six rooms, therefore. there are
three rooms needed Immediately.
There is a disposition on the part on
one faction TO block the request, be-
cause there can be no exchange OF
favors when only one request is made.

had been selected for the fight was
reached, instead of waiting to use his
fists Barlucci kicked him In the abdo-
men. The boy who was kicked fell TO
the ground, and after awhile was taken
home. The companions of the two boys
had little to say, and doctor who was
. summond was told the boy had been
taken suddenly iii in the fields, so he
gave an internal remedy for the trouble
that naturally follows exposure to the
hot sun. The lad did not improve much.
