ORANGE FAIR DIRECTORS.
Premiums for Horse Racing Have Been . Increased Considerably.

Premiums for Horse Racing Have Been '., Increased Considerably.
 The directors of the Orange Fair as- sociation held meeting last Monday evening in regard to the fair, which will be held on September 16. IT and IS. The appropriation for premiums was increased over that of other years. Particularly is this so in the premiums offered for the winners of the horse races. The prizes that will be put up will be a great inducement for horse men and will probably tend to bring to Orange some of the best horses in this section. "... a.
 The association voted to build cattle pens for the accommodation of the cat tie at the fair, the pens to be situated probably at the farthest end of the fair grounds. The action of the directors in regard to the accommodation of cattle was voted to place in the grounds rum ming water, a committee of three to be appointed by the president of the asso- clation to have charge of this. There is no water at any height near Orange and the only way that water can be run to the fair grounds is by the use of either a basoline engine or windmill. The water will be obtained from the ground. A we'll will be driven and when water is struck it will be pumped by the gasoline engine, this plan being accepted by the committee as the best.
 The lack of water in the grounds has been a detriment to the fair in former years. Every accommodation will be offered for the horses and cattle.

 The fine vaudeville bill at the theater continues to draw large crowds as does the Old Mill, Ferris wheel and the world of other arnusements.
 Juvenile Day is next Tuesday and mothers and fathers should not forget that every child paying fare to the Rock gets ticket for a souvenir pres ent that will be really worth having and every one will have an opportunity to get the fine gold-case, diamond stud- ded watch which is on exhibition in Douglas shoe store.

THE CONNECTICUT BUILDING.
Architect HapgOod Disappointed in the
 Location Insisted Upon by Exposition

Arcnltect Hapgood Disappointed in the
 Location Insisted Upon by Exposition
 Officials.
 E. T. Hapgood, architect of the Con necticut building at the Louisiana Pur- chase exposition, which will take place next year. returned to Hartford Wednesday night from St. Louis, where he has been for week. arranging the details necessary to begin building. MT. Hapgood came back in disap- pointed frame of mind, for the exposi- tion officials refuse to allow the Con necticut building to be placed so that it may be built to the best advantage.
 When the building was designed 1t was proposed to set it back some fifty feet from the street. thus giving room for most attractive approach. which included curved walks around lawn. When MT. Hapgood interviewed 1. s. Taylor, the director of the works, and whose word is law, regarding the loca- ton of all the buildings, he was in- formed that the Connecticut building must be placed just twenty-five feet from the street, no more and no less.
 This action on the part of the direc- tor in measure spells all the plans that have been made to make the ap- proach to the building one of its most attractive features The same scheme, however, will be carried out, with the notifications necessary to comply with the ideas of the director.
 While MT. Hapgood was at St. Louis the building was staked out and the H. Wales Lines company of Meriden, which has the contract for the erection of the building, will begin work imme- diately. From what MT. Hapgood said to-day. the building will be ready for occupancy about the first of Novem- Der. All the plans were submitted to MT Taylor and were approved by him, so that all the technicalities have been carried out.
 MT. Hapgood was accompanied on his trip by Messrs. Moss and Stretch of the H Wales Lines company. MT. Moss will remain to see the work on the building under way; then he will return to Meriden, MT. Stretch will remain and superintend the entire construction of the building

 portance.
 The supreme court has just rendered a decision of importance upon the sub ject of fraternal insurance The Odd Fellows Mutual Aid association was or ganized for the purpose of furnishing insurance to such members of the Odd Fellows society as chose to avail them selves of it. It was an independent or ganization. but outsiders were not ad- mitted. The general plan was similar to that of the Masonic Mutual Aid as- sociation. Both of these organizations are now defunct, but similar bodies are in existence in other states, and in the case of one of them in this state re- organization has been effected.
 Late in 1901 member of the organi- zation died, leaving as his beneficiary Mrs. Ida Oefinger of Meriden. The Will liam A. Miles & Co; acting through their attorneys, E. F. Aryine and George E. Beers, brought suit against Mrs. Oefinger and garnisheed the funds in the hands of the association for debt. It subsequently, recovered judgment and sought to take the fund thus gar nisheed on execution. Mrs. Oefinger, through her attorney, Cornelius J. Dan aher of Meriden. claimed that the fund was exempt. The late Judge Cable de- cided that the fund was not exempt and could be taken by Miles & Co. From this judgment there was an appeal to the supreme court, which has held that there was no error in the ruling of Judge Cable. The opinion, which is by Judge Baldwin, has not yet reached New Haven. X
