The Press. (Stafford Springs, Conn.) 1883-1935, 1900-10-04
THE FAIR.

The first day of the fair indicates
is blocked out and is bound to be lively
center. Eating tents and irefreshment
stands predominant, but there is a good
line Of other attractions An oriental
tent has been erected, the merchandise
wheels are located, and the merrygo-
round Is at the old position. There are
several places where nicely polished walk
ing sticks can be secured, and the chances
for throwing balls are numerous. The
lady who toys with poisonous reptiles is
with US, and the large square wooden pen
in which she exhibits her pets is gaudtly
decorated with red. The balloon men are
doing business at the old stand In the
poultry department there seems to be a
little smaller number of entries than
usual, but there are plenty of choice
birds, and the department will, as usual,
attract much favorable attention. The
exhibition halls were filling all day Tues
day, and will be at the best the last two
days of the fair. In both halls the exhi-
bition this year is evidently up to the
high standard established in previous
years.
The vaudeville show this year is win
ner. Many think it is the best the socie-
ty has put on. The program is long, and
each act Is interesting. The racing Tues
day afternoon included the 2 SO and coun-
ty classes. The running race did not fill
and was omitted. The 2 so class was
won in straight heats by Mae Wilkes,
owned by A. M. Graves of Suffield. G.,
C. Flynt's ''Petril," driven by Dana Gary

the finish of the heat. The doctor took a.
flying leap, clear over the fallen horse,
and landed on his feet. The doctor WAS
not hurt. A crowd gathered around the
mare and assisted In extricating her from
her trying position. Fortunately the
horse was not injured and the only dam
age Is to the wagon. Vanity, owned by
