Communicated
Mr.. Editor Public sentiment has
reached the point where the people
of this community stand ready to up
hold the hands of the management of
the Stafford fair in a determined eff
fort to eliminate from the grounds
certain unlawful features that have
been in the past a deadly detriment
to the flavor and effectiveness of the
fair. 1 refer to the sale of cider,
long since past its "sweet and inno-
cent" prime, and all forms of gam
bling, as has been the custom along
the midway. These things are strict
" unlawful, and while they have
evidently been winked at in previous
fairs, it is we'll understood that they
are to have no place in the future.
The president. Col. Hall, in a per-
sonal letter, informs me that he and
the other officers are ready to do their
full duty to debar from the grounds
all persons who come for the purpose
of conducting unlawful business, such
as Offering for sale Intoxicating drink
and gambling in all its horrid forms.
The good citizens, to man, hail
with delight the determined move
ment on the part of the management
to make our fair what it ought to be,
a respectable, high toned country fair.
The amendment to section 44O3 of the
general statutes, passed by the last
by inserting after the
word liquors, the words cor keep,
maintain, or operate any
wheel, pool, dice game, pin game,
shell game, coin table, lottery, policy
game, or other illegal game" rem
ders it necessary for the ground Off
GERS to perform their plain duty and
arrest all breakers of the law. With
the officials of the fair bent on strict.
ly keeping our laws enforced, we can
look forward to the coming fair with
a deep degree of delight.
