THE GREAT FAIR.
The improvements in the County Fair
Grounds. ~ Noted by Editor OF
Nergennes Enterprise.

\ visit to the renovated and greatly
improved fair grounds of the Addison
county agricultural society in Middle
bury is sufficient to convince anyone that
Col. lllsley has done the county ire
mendous service in instituting the i'm
provements lately put into effect there.
Both the interior and exterior of the
buildings have been renovated with re-
pairs and fresh paint, ticket offices have
been conveniently located on the street,
while, perhaps, the greatest improve
ment is in the track, the grade of which
has been reduced from something like
twelve feet to less than seven. 1t is
undoubtedly true that this has made the
Midclebury track one Of the fastest half
mile tracks in the state.
The grand stand, toe, shows the work
of an improving hand. Ii has been re-
paired, raised and enlarged so that it now
seats nearly twice its former number.
\ system of scientific draining has re-
duced the danger of wet grounds to a
minimum. In short, the property of the
society has been transformed from a
state of ordinary repair to a thoroughly
first class condition. 1t will be worth
the ordinary price of admission to see
these Improvements alone

attractions expected at Middlebury Sept.

SECURED GOOD CONTRACT.
Carbondale Machine Company Beats
Number of Competitors.

The tarbOndale Machine company,
whose products are to be found all
over the globe, secured a contract Sat
urdaS which was more than ordinarily
satisfying to the officers. In the first
place. its money value reaches to about
twenty thousand dollars, but equally,
If not more satisfactory. was the cir
cumstance that the company bested a
half-dozen competing firms from New
York city. Philadelphia and other cities
which boast of their manufactures.
The CarbOndale company, though it
had sharp and able competitors, was
readily given the contract.
The work is the equipping of the new
cold storage house of the Scranton Re
friSerating company. The plans of this
company, which We're given in detail in
The Tribune a few days ago will be
the biggest concern of its character in
this part of the state. This circum-
stance adds to the satisfaction which
the Machine company ana the Carbon
dale people can derive from the fact
that the work of euuppng is to be
carried out by an industry in this city.

Forcefully Demonstrated.

The police managed to locate 1O-year-
old John Subna early yesterday MORN
ing and placed him under arrest on
the charge of being implicated in the

Globe warehouse. He and the other two
boys. Tony Nuder and Edward Flana-
CHAN, were arraigned before Magistrate
Howe.
All three pleaded guilty, and were
committed to the county Jail in default
of $500 bail each. The need of some
place of detention for children who are
held to await the action of the grand
jury was never better demonstrated
than when these little youngsters We're
