naturally entailed lot Of work on the
fair officials, who were taxed to their
utmost to get everything in readiness
for the opening. The Danbury people
put up first-class attractions in front
of the grand stand. This year they
have the Diving Horses, company Of
Japanese jugglers, trained bears and
monkeys and the Norins divers, who
dive from an elevated tower into q
pond prepared for this purpose. The
most popular feature, this year, ap-
pears to be the trained bears, that are
certainly worth the price of admission
to the Fair grounds. The fair has
certainly had a toning up from moral
standpoint, and the management are
to be congratulated.
