pianos in the wreck at Long Hill, were nothing daunted but started again by team and had a fine display of pianos and organs. c. M. Beach's display of pottery and fancy crockery would al most make one wish they were start ing afresh in housekeeping. He ex- hibited one jardiniere valued at $25. MT Beach is from New Milford and is one of the successful merchants of that town. The exhibit was in charge of Harry Green.
 The industrial department, showing what can be done by the ladies, de- mands more time and space than can here be given but a few of the articles may we'll be mentioned. The center piece embroidered in Jacquemenot rose buds by Miss Sarah Thompson of South Britain was very beautiful. One could almost imagine the roses had been just thrown down. The center piece embroidered in white by Miss Elizabeth Noble of New Milford was dainty in the extreme. Mrs Gurnee of Newtown showed another center piece of pink carnations. The sofa pillows were all dainty and inviting to the tired head or would be if placed on a sofa. Miss Sarah B. Minor showed one of woven pink and black ribbon, in style quite novel to some. A tufted sofa pillow made by Mrs Baldwin of Newtown was equally pretty.
 Then there were pin cushions galore from the tall one made into glass standard by Mrs Emily Hurst of New town to the long, narrow embroidered and lace one made by Miss L. Will Hams of BrOoktield. In fact there were sofa pillows and pin cushions of all sizes and styles.
 The crocheted lace and insertion made by Miss Hattie Northrop was very pretty. Mrs M. D. Beers of San dy Hook also exhibited some of her own make that was a premium win ner. The section containing the Bat | tenberg and Renaissance lace was fill ed with dainty articles too numerous to mention. Among them were the point lace handkerchief made by Miss E. D. Rodgers of New Haven. lace collar by Mrs Milon Hawley of Step ney, dolly of Miss Ruth Mitchell of South Britain. Miss, Maud Blackman of Sandy Hook exhibited a sofa pill low of drawn work, brown linen over red, which was very pretty.

WEDNESDAYS PROGRAM.
RAIN STORM SADLY MARS THE DAYS
 PLEASURE.

RAIN STORM SADLY MARS THE DAYS
 PLEASURE.
 Wednesday morning opened with a sky overcast with clouds which threat ened rain. About 10 o'clock the clouds lifted and the sun shOne. This started the crowd from the neighbor- ing towns to the fair, and by 1 o'clock probably 5000 persons had entered the fair grounds. About , o'clock the rain began to fall and the showers in creased in intensity as the afternoon grew old. In the 2.25 class during the first heat Orange Lewis, who was driv- ing "Lunda," ran into the sulky of c. H. Cook of Hampden. Lewis was thrown violently to the ground and the horse ran away but was cap- tured before it had done any damage or injured itself. Lewis was taken to the stables where he was attended to by Dr J. H. Carroll of Bridgdport, who happened to be in the grand stand While MT Lewis was badly shaken up it is hoped his injuries will not be of a serious nature. His father, J. H. Lewis, took his place on the sulky.
 In the 2.3O class two heats were trotted and three in the 2.25 class, withno decisive result. The storm having increased it was decided to ad- journ the races of the day till Thurs day, when they were run off. The re- suit of these races will be found on Page 2

THE TAIN EXHIBITION BULL DING.

SOME OF THE ATTRACTIVE FEATURES
 The main building was well filled with exhibits artistically arranged and showing to the best advantage. One of he prettiest parts of the exhi-
 bit ion was the booth occupied by the
 D. M. Read Co. of Rridgepir,. The sect ion assigned to them was furnish ed to represent tiny parlOr. The l beautiful rug which covered the floor, the fine upholstery of it's furniture, the exquisite draperies of lace and dama>k, goes to prove that the D. NJ.
 Read Co. of Bridgeport cal furnish a house eNuuisitely and perfectly.
 Taylor, Curtis X Co. of Sandy Hook, store. had a credtable exhibit, dis play of horse goods, harnesses, blan- kttS for big money and little, compris- ing the main part. Peck & Lines,
 well and favorably known to the pub lie through their advertisement in TIE BEE, occupied a booth at the
 north end of the building and made fine exhibit of harnesses and robes. The booth of F.. J. Hall, the popular Sandy Hook stove merchant, as usual
 was well filled with parlor and cook stoves, oil stoves, coal stoves and wood stoves all of the newest make and pat tern and very attractive withal He had a good supply of his popular lead CTS, "The Round Oaks" Patrick Cannon $ bees were not quite equal to the VIEWPOINT BEES, but for the api- arian kind they were of the best and

Atwood, the expert cattle trainer of MinOrtOwn, and many Oth- CTS. Owing to the heavy rains of late the grounds where the cattle were ex- hibited were slightly damp, but the men took it good naturedly.
 The exhibit of cattle was slightly larger than year ago, and as was eX- pected some unusually fine steers were shown. Superintendent David Dis brow of the cattle department of the Danbury fair thought the exhibit un- usually choice and ahead of last years s show.
 W. J. Sherwood of Westport had d fine string of cattle. He had a magni- fcent pair of DrvonS, four years old. weighing iSOO. He told BEE repre- sentative that he had refused &25O for thcm this year, on the Newtown fair grounds. Other cattle men in the string were pair of calves, three pairs of yearlings, two pairs of tWO-year-olds and pair of thrce-year-olds. T. E.. Terrill of North Woodbury assisted him in handling and showing them up.
 The line big pair of Hereford oxen owned by EX-Senator William x. NOrthrop came in for generous share of attention. They were handled by Secretary John J. Northrop of the local School Board. One expert cattle man placed their weight at 400, but 400 was nearer the mark.

 Randolph Bradley. that enthusiast ic and successful young Easton farmer, had the handsome string exhibited at the Huntington and New Milford fairs. With their fancy yolles and horns decorated with ribbons, and

nicely groomed, their good point~ showed up to perfection.
 One of the largest single exhibitors of cattle was Heman Beardsley of Rox- bury, who had 12 pairs of steers. Many inquiries were made for Nate Beardsley of the same town, but it appears he had gone to Boston to at tend the marriage of a brother. His long string of steers has been feature of past fairs in Newtown and Hunting ton.
 John M. Ferris of Stamford had eight pairs of cattle on exhibition, in- cluding fine pair of Durhams weigh ing 3650 pounds, after being driven eight miles to the fair grounds. MT Ferris captured a large number of pre- miums, as will be observed in the list list of premium awards found on an- other page.
 Several sales of choice cattle were made during the fair. John M. Ferris of Stamford sold handsome pair of four year old Devons to N. s. Wilmot of Naugatuck, the reported price being S2OO. A. J. McMahon of New Milford sold an extra good pair of working Ca t. tie to Charles B. Seeley of Tashua.
 The blooded stock classes were un- usually full and as fine stock as has ever been exhibited on the grounds.
 As usual much enthusiasm was aroused among the cattle men in the draw ing contests, which were not con cluded till after , o'clock.
 In the cattle department R. c; Mitchell was the efficient Superintend- ent, and kept business moving in his usual energetic fashion. IIermOn H.. Peck looked after the blOOded stock.
 The premium awards were as fol- lows:

 Rev o. o. Wright had his little cor ner. On his table were papers and pamphlets about the dumb animals and covering educational subjects. Among others were "Need of Human Education,' "HoW Bugs Help the Farmer" "Rights of Dumb Animals. Mrs Sarah J. Eddy of Providence had sent MT Wright many pamphlets and books on this subject. 'EOices for the Speeches." and "F'riends and Helpers;" also a song book ''Songs of Happy Life.' On the wall back of the table are two. large pictures of dumb animals which Mrs Eddy sent to Mir Wright for this exhibition. MT Wright Wished.everyOne old and young to look at these pamphlets and take them home and study them. In the whole the main building is very at tractive and with a little hustling it would seem that the few vacant spaces might easily have been filled.

A Busy Scene on the Newtown Fair Grounds

Plumb were both very neatly and nicely made. Miss Loretta Houlihan and Miss Eleanor Northrop showed tray cloths and doilies in outlining and embroidery. Miss Lucy Wright had bed quilt all nicely pieced and many more of the articles showed that the little people are growing up with knowledge of needle work. The silk quilt exhibited by Mrs Robert Martindel was very pretty and had great quantity of fine work on it.
 The culinary department proved so inviting that one was 10th to come away from it. There were raspberry pie, tart pie, sweet potato pie, plum, mince, apricot, pumpkin and other pies. There were walnut cake, sun flower cake, apricot cake, chocolate, fruit, sponge, raised and yet more. There were cookies and bread and bis cults, all of which were very tempting. The ladies figuring mostly in this de- partment were Mesdames Duncombe, Wildman, Moore, Miller, Beardsley and many others.
 The collection of 44 varieties of can ned fruit by Mrs Edward Curtis of Monroe, the pickles, both sweet and sour, by Miss Sadie Hatch of New Mill ford, Mrs Miller and Mrs David Farm elee were all good to look at.
 In the floral display the bouquets of cut dahlias by Mrs c. H. Gay and Mrs Edward Taylor were very pretty. Mrs George R. Wilson and Mrs Emily Hurst both presented very pretty rus tic baskets. The paintings and mis- cellaneous articles were no doubt eX- cellent but the place where they were shown was poor there being no light and they did not show off to the best advantage. The pen pictures by MT Platt were good and several of the pictures by others deserve honorable mention. The tiny humming bird s nest and the Indian stone spoon loan ed by Mrs R. D. Smith were indeed curios worth looking at. R. H. Beers & Co.,, the enterprising merchants of the Street, as usual dispensed sweets to the sweet. His booth was very

always draw a crowd and can sell whips almost as fast as he can talk. Stephen Burke of Westfeld also had whip stand, but Rotelle seemed to do the business. He has one or two sons who follow the fairs in the same buSi- ness.
 The vegetables were judged, this year, by that New Haven expert, Frank $. Platt, the popular scotsman of that city. Our neighbOr, R. $. Hin-- man, judged the fruit. There are few than R.sS. Hinman.
 President Warren Plumb of the Huntington fair, with Mrs Plumb, from Nichols, were at the fair on We'd nesday, and MT Plumb was also pres ent on cattle day.
 MT and Mrs N. w. Ogden of Green field Hill were at the fair on Tuesday, MT Ogden remaining till Wednesday. He was the guest of MT and Mrs Henry M. Smith.

 MT and Mrs William Fcote and MT and Mrs K. T. Barber of WatertOwn paid their first visit to the Newtown fair, Wednesday, and enjoyed every thing except the rain.

THE OFFICIAL MACHINERY.

EVERYTHING RAN SMOOTHLY.
 In the secretary's office the business went along smoothly, thanks to the systematic work of the efficient secre- tary, P. H. Mccarthy. He had as his assistants Harry Mason, and Harry Russell. Down in the box office Treas urer H. G. Curtis had placed E. c. Page, while s. H. Ferry and John L. Sanford were kept hustling as gate tenders. President Platt was all about the grounds and man much in de- mand. The police arrangements were in good hands, Sheriff Rodgers and Constable John H. Blackman making ideal officers.

LARGE ENIIIBIT OF FRUIT AND EHl F
 TABLES CONSIDERING THE YEAR.

LARGE EXHIBIT OF FRUIT AND EuE-
 TABLES CONSIDERING THE YEAR.
 This is not d great fruit and vcgeta- ble year for Connecticut and the result has been d diminished number of cX- hibits in fruits and vegetables at all the fairs. Notwithstanding this fact the. space in Horticultural hall was nearly all taken. and the exhibit was one which did the fair great credit. Near i he en1 rance was a handsomely decorated child's cart, the work of Master Radford Wildman. Corn, squaShes and garden fruits were used in the decorating as well as the fall flowers and leaves. Directly opposite this stood handsome pyramid com- posed of vegetables and fruit, the ex- hibit of Anna May Betts.
 T. E. Platt X Son exhibited nine varieties of choice cabbagcs, and Pic cot Brothers number of varieties also.
