rHR NEwrowN BEE FRIDAY. OCTOBER Il. 1907
Danbury Fair.
LARGER AND MORE ENTER
 TANNING THAN EVER.
Gov Woodruff Present on We'd
 nesday.

The down-pour of rain. Tuesday, practically made Wednesday the open Ing day at the Danbury fair. and the crisp. cold weather made fair going q pleasure. About F. 900 people were present. including Gov Woodruff and members of his staff.
 The Danbufy fair is q unique insti- tuition. Newtown fair has died. the New Milford fair has just voted to close up.@but the Danbury fair booms on bigger.and greater than ever.
 In the cattle department genial Da- yid Disbrow is in charge as usual. There were 2Si entries of blooded stock. and about 50 pairs of steers. There were no large pairs of steers, but some choice. finely bred stock. Among we'll known cattle men pres- ent. "Wednesday, were Nathan Boards ley of Roxbury. W. r. Tyler of Middle bury. Samuel Peek of Watertown. Amos Culver of Watertown. Randolph Bradley of Bedding. Cattle commis- sioner II. 0. Ayeril and many others.
 The department of agricultural tools and engines was very interesting. T. E. Platt X Son of Newtown had two large tents filled with corn and grain harvesters, mowing machines. blows and the Fairbanks engines. It was q splendid exhibit and was in charge of Philo Platt.
 s. E. Church of Seymour. favorably known to Bee readers. had big ex- hibit of gasoline engines. wind mills and other machinery.
 Our neighbor, J Botsford Fairchild. devoted his attention to the popular Wizard line of agricultural machinery. blows, harows. etc He gave away handsomely printed pamphlets
 The well known Farmers Supply and & Roofing Co. had good show of engines and agricultural tools and ma chinery.
 E. c. Platt of Hawleyville had a handsome showing of fancy mantels, doors, shingles and other roofing ma teria
 E. Stone & Son, the dry goods deal CTS and milllners, had booth Deautl- fully decorated in white and purple and fined with the latest effects in mil linery and swell coats.
 The reliable Danbury Hardware Co.,, had long booth filled with fancy crockery, telephone and electric goods.
 The entertainment put up in front of the grand stand was good, the trained seals, the air ship and other features helping to entertain. Not to go to the Danbury fair is to be out of style and a most entertaining day can be spent there. There appeared to be little gambling or other objectionable feat ures, so far as observed. !"
 The fruit and vegetable exhibits were good for the year and the poultry show was full and running over.
 D. A. Nichols of Shelton was on hand to judge the poultry.

An important business change takes place in Sandy Hook by which the drug and grocery business of Betts & Betts passes into the hands of Charles H. Finch, who has lately, established his home in Sandy Hook. Gustavus A. Betts, who has successfully managed the business since his fathers death, started in to clerk for his father in tn e old store February, 1901. He has been faithful, and obliging, attending to all his arduous duties in a cheerful and pleasing manner. He has been popu- lar and well liked, and his departure from the store and town will be greatly regetted. Mir Finch comes with pleas ing recommendations and will endeavor to enlarge and build up the business. He will have the best wishes of his many friends.

PURE WATER FOR SOLDIERS.
New Army Wagon 1nsures steriiized
Supply in the Field.

Uncle Sam has adopted a water
wagon for army use, which, even
when it draws its contents from a
much polluted stream, provides his
soldiers with fine fluid with which to
quench their thirst, says the Phila-
delphia Record. The secret of this
is that the wagon in question is moth
ing more nor less than a complete
altering and sterilizing plant = on
wheels. This army sterilizing plant
is equipped with boiler for making
steam to operate the pump and the
sterilizer, complete set of bone
Slack filters, q sterilizing plant and
a. reservoir for storing the sterile
water. Along each side are seven
faucets, 80 arranged that IA men can
conveniently I'LL their canteens at
one time. Only few minutes are re
quired for an entire regiment to OBJ.
