The Big Fair Was Postponed, but There
 is No Change in the FinO Programme
 Purses in the Stake Races Aggregate
 s2,70O-SpeciaI TrRin Service.
 The big Branford fair. which was postponed from last week, will have its opening day tomorrow, and in view or the fact that the big Branford PA trot for the 1000 purse is on the card for this day a record-breaking crowd is sure to be present. There is another cracking good race in the Blackstone 2:40 pace for purse of $500 for this days main attraction.
 The exhibitors who arrived for the original dates of this big fair have taken advantage of the enforced post ponement to enlarge their exhibits, so that at present the agricultural exhib- it's are just about double those of re- cent years. The events to take place on the second day of the Branford fair Wednesday, are the Nutmeg State 2:2S pace for purse of $500 and the Ton, tine Hotel 2:1S trot for purse of $500. For the last days sport CThursday) the management has arranged a grand ath- letic carnival open only to the residents of the towns of Branford, North Bran ford, East Haven, Madison and Clinton. The programme will be made up of horse races, bicycle races, weight-pull- ing contests, etc. Suitable prizes will be awarded to the winners.
 The entry list for the great stake races is without a doubt the best ever offered for a three-day fair in the east, and as the purses hung up by Proprie- tor Fisk are the largest ever given by a three-day fair in America it's a good bet that some of the most exciting events seen in New England are about to come off at the big Branford fair. A special train service will be in force on September 23, 24 and 25 at excursion rates. This service covers all of the principal points throughout the state. The Branford Driving park special will leave Union depot, this city, at 1:S0 p. m. on each day of the fair, and the round-trip fare on this train is but 25 cents and admission to the track is only 50 cents. The first event will be called at 2:15.
 The very best of music will be fur nished by the Second regiment band, of this city, and everything possible has been arranged so that all who visit the fair will have jolly good time. For further details see advertisement in an- other part of this issue.

templating statement to the effect
that funeral orations are to be discon-
tinued Dy me.
My reasons for taking the step are
because the religion of Judaism as set
forth in the Bible Is a religion whose
object Is the betterment of the condi-
tions under which people live, and
gives absolutely no promise as TO
future life.
If people want me to ofiiciate still
at the obsequies of their dead, shall
perhaps consent, but only a sermon
upon some Biblical text, no funeral
panegyric, will be delivered by me.
1t is a misfortune that all churches
today concern themselves too muca
with the Offices to be rendered the
dead. Preachers are becoming mere
aids to the unaertakers; the sacred
edifices In which tney preach are too
much like mausoleums-the sepulchers
OF dead beliefs as well as of dead
bodies. Ii is cause of great sorrow

snip for Sunday worship. has struck a
