and worthy of support. The exhibit of w. G. Barton, the up-to-date dry goods merchant, added to his already high prestige, and spoke volumes for his public spirit and interest in local affairs. It was arranged by one of his popular and efficient clerks, P. E. Green. He occupied space about l2 feet square. Overhead was canopy made up of figured denims of the latest style. The side walls were hung with art squares, cOmfOrtables, and in the rear was rich display of dress goods, Belding Brothers silks, automobile coats and furs, French flannel waists and waist patterns and sofa pillows. In the foreground were two glass cases, one containing swell hats made up from the latest New York styles, and the other containing Sorosis shoes, for which he has the local agency. The ladies went into ecStasies over

NewtOwn, David Dishrow of New Fairfield, George F. Smith of Wood- bury, N. P. Beardsley of Roxbury, S. H. Peck of Watertown, J. M. Ford of Southville, Alderman Judson of North Woodbury, John Keane of Sandy Hook, and many others. Director Squires thought the number of work ing oxen and neat stock exhibited was slightly larger than Tn 1900. And such good judges of cattle as Sherwood Brinsmade and David DisbrOw told THE BEE representative they consider ed the quality of the working cattle of very high order. The drawing con- test, as usual, made lot of fun, Levi Warner and his big Durham steers attracting considerable attention. Robert c. Mallory had some three year-olds that were stagers to draw load.
 The entries for the ladies' fancy work and fruit departments 'were tardy in coming in, Tuesday, and in this respect the New Milford fair is open to improvement.
 IN THE sECRETARY's OFFICE
 was the genial and popular secretary, J. Edwin HungerfOrd, whom THE BEE has commended before, and is glad to again, as he is worthy of it. He bad as assistants Theodore Burdick and the Misses Alkaline l.. Buck and Edith Warner. Outside the ladies who as sisted in arranging the articles were: Mrs J. l.. Buck, Mrs H. c. Ives, Mrs c. H. Jackson, Mrs J. F. Addis, Miss Ruth T. Booth, Mrs A. II. McMahon, Mrs A. M. Booth, Miss Alice Buck, Miss M. A. Morris and Miss Addie Peet.
 THE FAIR Is CERTAINLY FORTUNATE
 IN ITS OFFICIAL BOARD.
 J. LeRoy Buck, the president, is a business man, and rattlng good man for the place. Then there is the man who carries the bag, "Ed" Emmons, and more competent person could hardly be picked out in the entire town; no one will dispute this not even the local Solomon. In charge of the exhibition building are Representative Homer L. Wanzer and Attorney Ad. dis, both of whom have legion of friends. The booths and stands are superntended by Noble Bennitt, who has happy faculty of managing this rather difficult department. The "fakirs' don't get ahead of "Nobe.' y George w. Squircs and A. H. McMa- hon deserve more than a passing word for their excellent management of the cattle department. The arrangement in the exhibition hall was practically the same as year ago, the booths of the merchants being arranged about the hall and the fancy work stands ir the center. It would seem as if there ought to be more of the merchants tt 2 exhibit, as the fair is a local enterprise

 One of the handsomest pair of steers on the grounds were the four-year-olds of A. L. Patterson of Roxbury. Old cattlemen said he should have had first instead of the second prize.

The Newtown bee., 1901-09-13

The New Milford fair of 1901 opened on Tuesday under lowering skies,s but happily the rain did not fall and all things considered it was just such day as cattlemen would prefer. The attendance on Tuesday was light, about $50, which is one of the smallest opening days the New Milford fair has had in It's history. This does not in dicate the fair is going down hill, not in the least. It simply indicates that scores of farmers have not finished cutting tobacco, owing to the rainy week of fortnight ago. And when so important a crop as tobacco needs attention not even the most enthusi- astic fair man could afford to leave his farm. There was present, however, A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF THE CAT
 TLEMEN
 of this part of the state. The veteran, Samuel Lockwood, of Wilton, was missing, being away to the famous Blandford Mass fair, but among the number were Sherwood BrinSmade of Trumbull, George Winton of
