ORANGE FAIR NEXT WEEK
EIGHTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION OF AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

It Will Exceed in Interest All Former
 Ones--some of the Prominent Feat
 ures of the Affair.
 The Orange fair comes next week September and 4, and with good weather 1t will be the best even given by the Orange Agricultural society and the most successful.
 The floral parade this year-fine as the previous ones were-will be splend- i'd. The ladies of Orange have been working for weeks preparing for 1t.
 The races at the fair are always good, and any horseman who has ever raced at Orange fair will bear witness that ever man gets a square deal. The Orange fair is managed by young and energetic men. No one profits from any money made at the fair. If profits are made they must go to the village inn provement. This feature appeals to a good many.
 Among other prominent features are the horse draft and OK draft The az ricultural society has always consider ed this worthy feature, and offer m premiums four or five times as much as even some of the larger fairs do for this event. This brings out keen competition and many patrons come from long distances to witness the horse and OK draft. This year the so- ciety has offered a special premium for the team pulling the greatest load re- gardless of whether it be horses or oxen. There seems to be quite con troversy as to which can draw the heaviest load, a pair of horses or d pair of oxen, and this question will be set tied at the Orange fair this year.
 The poultry dog, vegetable fruit, cattle, sheep and swine classes will draw out splendid exhibit. A special class has been made this year, designed in particular for members Of the New Haven driving club, the idea of the management being to lembody features of horse show this year for the first time. The usual side attractions of vaudeville show, several acts, double balloon ascensions, two people drop ping from parachutes, midway attrac- tions will all be there.
 The ladies' department, fancy goods, flowers etc., draws out the largest ex- hibit with one exception in the state.
 Special attention is being paid this year to the p v race, which will be run best two out of three heats, purse of $20 being offered for this event This always amuse the crowd as well as any ever shown. The entries for this have been filled for weeks, and the management has reluctantly had to re- fuse numerous entries who want to get Into the peg race game, but the mum Der of starters in this race Is limited to eight.
 Fairlea farm, Wilson H. Lee owner, which Is second to none in New Eng land in its stock of thoroughbred Jer- seys, as woll as large display of thoroughbred swine will be shown in a large tent. MT. Lee is champion ot pure milk for New Haven with hls characteristic generosity adds tren1en- dously to the exhibit of live stock Neither MT. Lee, nor his fine product of Jersey milk and cream is any strang- CT to New Haven, The simple fact that 1t is announced that MT. Lee vii make a fine exhibit is a guarantee o' something above the ordinary,
 The only thing to be desired now is fair weather on Labor day and Tues day, September and 4. Orange peo ple have been particularly unfortunate as regards weather during the pas few years, but every thing Is always carried out to the letter, and the fai postponed in case of bad weather, anC the management so advertise this yea that is case of bad weather, the fail will be continued to first pleasant days Special excursion rates have beer granted by the railroad company fo all near points, and special train vii ,/leave each day of the fair from Nev Haven at 1 p, m. and Ansonia at 1:3 p m. both of which will reach Orang in time for the great floral parade which is held on both days,
