The fair closed on Friday
with an attendance of about 1000. The
main event of the afternoon was the
horse racing. Mr. Brush, as on the pre-
vious days, was in the starters box and
gave the best of satisfaction. The Judges,
q. O. Warner, Richard Mabbett, and
John E. Capewell, made one or two de-
cisions not popular with a certain ele-
ment and there was some excitement but
they took firm and sensible position
and were not to be bluffed. There was
no music on Friday as the New Milford
band had been engaged for two days
only. A considerable amusement was
created both days by the races for the
boys, which was enjoyed by the young.
sters and appreciated by the crowd. The
