FINE FLORAL PARADE.
Fine Showing of Jersey Stock by
 w. H. Lee of Fair1ea Farm.

5lUO 1ucSOdy, 1ue OTauSc 1dlT lS o money-maker and despite the inauspi. cious weather of Monday. there will probably be a net profit to the associ.. about 5000. To learn the secret of this success little study of the situ- atiOn. will reveal the facts. The fair is, first of all, ably Officered. Then it is run on 8 clean and moral basis. No snide or immoral shows are allowed, and there are no objectionable feat ures. Then 1t is near by to COnnecti- cuts greatest city, which has a popu- lation of 135, ,OOO, and handy to the 100, 900 people in the Naugatuck val ley. The buildings show the fairs prosperity. The rickety grand stand has given way to strong and substan- tilly built grand stand, and there have been other improvements made. There is
 STILL ROOM FOR sLICKING UP in the way of new fences about the property and permanent buildings for the cattle. The association is fortu- nate in it's president, Watson s. Wood ruff, an affable gentleman and a first class business man. Then for vice president there is the energetic and wideawake Walter s. Hine, well and favorably known by cattle men. In the secretary's position is 8 careful Clark, who had the able assistance of his wife, most charming and agree able lady.
 The two really great features of the Orange fair, and it would be weak without them, is the beautiful and artistic floral parade, given each day, and the fine exhibit of high-grade Jersey stock by Wilson H. Lee, pro- prietor of Fairlea farm.
