the voters of this county eT dorse the

YOUNG BROOKS CASE.
Suspicion That He Committed the Bur

Suspicion That He Committed the Bur glaries Here.
 Detective Robert J. Dunlap went to New York yesterday to get. if possi- ble. confession from Harry Brooks that he committed numerous second story burglaries in New Haven last fall.
 The police of this city think that Brooks did the work. The earrnarks are the same as the burglaries in New York. They are the same style as those committed by him in New Haven eleven years ago.
 It was learned yesterday that he was 2 in New Haven at that time on two oc- casions at least. As Brooks melted the silverware and sold the bullion at the United States assay office in New York there is not much likelihood of any of { the New Haven loot being recovered.
 The following places were burglarized in this city about the time Brooks was seen here:
 Stephen L. Hedges, 10 Park street.
 Jacob Schiefel, of State street.
 H. J. Knowlton. 7s1 Orange street.
 Charles M. Merrick, S7 Cottage street. Henry l. Hotchkiss, 55 Hillhouse ave- 5 nue. s

BIC BRANHORD FAIR COMING
THE MANAGEMENT MEANS TO
 ECLIPSE ALL PAST RECORDS.

Opens on Labor Day-sscond Regiment
 Band to Furnish aiasie-speciaI Train
 Service All Over the State, Etc
 Great interest centers upon the com ing big Branford fair which is to be held at Branford Driving park on Sep tember T, s, and 10. To be sure the great majority, of people who attend a country fair go to witness the agricul- ture exhibits, and this is as it should be, for nowhere can one view the clever handiwork of the farmer as well as at an annual fair.j For the big Branford fair of 1903 the farmers in and around this section of the state, as we'll as the management of the Branford Agricul- tural society have united with but one point in view, namely of making the big Branford fair thas year the largest and best in the history of the society. The exhibits this year will surpass any thing ever before seen at popular Bran ford Driving park, and numerous other special features should attract an enor- nous crowd during the four days the event issin session. Labor day, Septem- Der '. will be the opening day, so that the usual holiday crowd can pay its an- nual visit to Branford. The list of events, for the four days includes be- sides the mammoth agriculture exhibits, track exhibitions, sensational aerial act, brilliant speed contests, first-class vaudeville, etc. -..#
 Music for the four days will be fur nished by the Second Regiment band of this city, and for local patrons who will go out to Branford to witness the biz fair there will be the special train leav- ing Union depot stnd running direct to the track. This train is very conyen- tent for city people, and the round trip rate of twenty-five cents is remarkably low. For preliminary details regarding the big Branford fair see advertisement in another part of lthis issue.
