Live stoek-Two Iutersstins Horse Raees-some of the Prize Winners Announesd-To-day's Programme. The Orange fair given by the Orange Agricultural society on the new fair grounds in that town yesterday morn ing and as usual, the opening was largely attended. The fair will continue through Friday. This is one of the first fairs of the fall to be given in this state and 1t generally proves 10 be one of the largest and most successful of those held about the state. Hundreds came from out of town and all of the trains from New Haven during the day were well crowded.
 The attractions this year are even better and more numerous than on other years and it looks, from the com plete success of the opening day, that the fair this year would eclipse any thing heretofore conducted by the Orange Agricultural society. Horse rac- ing, balloon ascensions, foot races, a vaudeville shown and a magnificent display of garden products and live stock to go to make the fair we'll worth taking in and it is probable that the attendance to-day, if the weather is good. will be a very large one.
 The principal interest yesterday was in view the live stock and velegatble and fruit displays.
 Of secondary interest was the horse racing. The FPS class was unfinished, but the deciding heat, if only one is nec- essary, will be raced at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
 The three minute class was run off, and all of the heats were exciting and well contested. T. W. Bassett's Con- voy carried off first money, winning the first two heats and the fifth.
 Following is the summary of that race:

 The horse was stopped before any damage was done. but the driver was thrown to the ground with considerable force. As Wayne Wilton was the last horse in the bunch he escaped the heels of the other trotters.
