EAlR NOTES.

The entry books of the Hartford County
Fair are now open, and Judging from the
number OF inquiries, the exhibit will
probably be larger than for some years
past. This, OF course, is encouraging to
the directors, but they would be very
much more pleased if every person in the
county, who had anything of nature
that would attract more than ordinary
attention, would have it entered in com.
petition for the liberal premiums that
have been offered. There is scarcely a
farm or household in the county that
could not send something, even if it were
only a trihe. The expense is nothing
and it is the aggregation of small things
that go to make up the modern fairs.
The trotting races this fall will probably
be the best in the history of the society,
and there is now sufficient substantial
encouragement to make the directors feel
that some excellent exhibition of trials of
speed will be given. The running races
look like they too will be we'll filled, and
arrangements have been made with MIR.
Ernest c. Hall. professional starter, to
use the modern method of getting the
horses of. This avoids the tediousnesS
of scoring the old way. 1t is only
necessary to get the animals into line and
they are off The race track is now i'll
frst-class condition and all that it re-
quires is few finishing touches with
new harrow made especially for the pur-
pose.
Carpenters have been erecting fence
alongside of the judges stand, which will
protect dangerous place and possibly
avert serious accident.
Governor John Walter Smith will visit
the fair on Thursday, October I'd, and
arrangements are now being made by the
committee in charge to see that he re-
ceives fitting reception He will prob
ably be accompanied by some members of
his staff, but whether or not they will
come in uniform has not yet been decided.
Among other prominent visitors is Mr..
Edwin H. Warfeld. of Baltimore city.
He will also come as a guest to the So
ciety and will receive an old time Hartford
county welcome.
Hon. J. Fred. C. Talbot, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress, will also
be present the four days of the fair.
The space in the Exhibition Hall is be-
ing rapidly taken by different exhibitors,
and there is also considerable demand for
outside booths.
Instead of the old-time hobby horses
there will be modern steam carousal,
which will prove source of never-failing
delight to the children

To the Hon. JAMES d. WATERS,
Associate Judge, Third Judicial Dis
trict of Maryland, County of Hartford.
The grand jury for the September term
of 1902 beg leave to report that they
have been in session for eight days; have
examined 50 witnesses, have found So
true bills, and dismissed &c cases for lack

Court the Magistrates throughout the
county be instructed to use greater care

saving the county much needless expense.

mirably kept considering the condition
of the building.

many gross violations of the law, and
desire to express our high appreciation
OF the efforts of the public spirited citi-
Gems who have assisted i'll bringing

BIG ERE IN h,.YKE DE GRACE.

About three O'Clock Tuesday morning
fire broke out in n small house adjacent
to the carriage factory of w. Burns
and Brothers in Havre de Grace. An
alarm was quickly given, but as the build
i"a was all wood it was soon enveloi cd
! III Il ines and almost totally dcstr"NCd
before the fire company could do any
effectual work For a while it looked as
if portions of the city were doomed, as a
| light breeze carried the sparks over
several blocks of the town, which are
built up largely of frame dwellings. The
storage warehouse of Mr. w Reynolds,
containing about 100000 cans, and a
number of adjacent dwellings, were soon
on fire. All but two of the dwellings,
were saved, however, but the warehouse
and its contents were destroyed. About
this time the wind shifted and possibly
saved much further destruction. The
origin of the fire cannot be ascertained,
but it is thought to have been caused by
the upsetting of a lamp in the little dwell
ing, which was occupied by Mr.. Smith,
who lives alone and has been i'll for some
time.
The storage warehouse, with its con-
tents, were valued at about $50, 900. The
carriage factory, which was one of the
largest in the State, Histories high, covered
large area of ground, and its with con-
tents were valued at about SOS, 900, and
with the exception of some finished work
on the first floor, was completely Destroy
ed. tits said that insurance to the amount
of between $50, 900 and SAC, 900 was car
ried by Baltimore agencies. AS nearly as
can be ascertained, Burns Brothers car
ried from $4,000 to $4,000 on their
plant and stock. Some little damage
was also done to Hecht's Hotel, which is
across the street from where the fire
started.
