There is every indication now that the 24th annual fair of the New Mil ford Agricultural Association will be a most successful event in every de- partment. Tuesday, the first day, is known as cattle day, and quite num- Der of cattle men have stated that they will come and bring number of good cattle and fine exhibition is an ticipated. In order to increase the in terest and attendance this day the directors have arranged with our local horse goods dealer, Frank Evitts, to give an extra race in the afternoon, to be known as "FranK Evitts Special" for local horses only. Owners to drive, mile heats, best three in five, MT Evitts offers the following attractive premiums: 1st, single harness, value s25; 2d, suit of horse clothing, value SIP; 3d, plush lap robe, value $6; 4th, square wool blanket, value S4. There will be five or six starters in this class and lots of sport promised as every heat will be horse race. Grand stand free on this day. MT Bennitt has large number of attractions booked in- cluding the usual fakirs, also two or three good shows, merry-go-round, tin type stand, and all that goes to make good fair. Wednesday, the second day, two good races are promised. In the 2.40 class Is entries appear and a careful reading of the horses entered will convince you that this race should be as interesting as any on the list. Then follows the 225 class with 10 entries including the local flyer 'Acha- mar" This race should result in lowering the track record and the horse that beats Achamar to the wire will know that he has been in horse race. This day all exhibits in the main building and tent will be in or der, larger number of exhibitors than usual applying for spaces this year. In the tent choice exhibits of fruit vege- tables and farm crops in general are promised. Thursday, the last day, will be equally as interesting as the two proceeding days. Two more races are scheduled for this day, being the 2.3O class with 24 entries which is the largest number of entries ever receiv- ed for one race and certainly an excit- ing and interesting race should result. In the 2.2O race IA entries are amour ced. This will be hard fought race and undoubtedly the best time will be made as several of the hors es entered are going races around 2.1s to 2.21. AS an extra attraction on this day the di- rectOrs have arranged for a ball game between Tom Goodwin's Foresters and a picked nine from Roxbury and Washington. First class music will be furnished Wednesday and Thurs day by "Billy" Williams orchestra of nine pieces. The usual excursion rates are offered on the Berkshire division. If favored with good weather the fair should be the best held in a number of years.
