POLI'S
BUSY IzZY'S POODLE"

George Sidney and his big com pany of comedians, dancers and sing CTS, is announced for an appearance at Polls this afternoon and evening. Something bright and snappy in the musical comedy line, possessing the titular handle of Busy Izzy's Boo dle." will serve as the vehicle for this merry little comedians tour this season. While it is, in a way. along the line of all Sidney's exhibits of solid fun, yet the advantages gained in past successful experience. and the ardent study of the public de- mands for genuine humor, devoid of all impurities, has encouraged an en- traordinary effort in the construction of the new musical production. It is readily admitted that Mir Sidney has no equal on the stage as a de- lineator of the Hebrew type. His jovial humor is natural. without being offensive or obnoxious to those who question the advisability of racial characterization. While 1t is usually the policy to surround star with ordinary support in order to enhance the capabilities of the stel lar attraction. there Is no necessity of such consideration with Mr Sid ney, his work being so meritorious and superior in his line that the bet ter the cast and the more ability en- gagged the better he is pleased, and the greater advantages the produc- ton offers as a whole. Prices to- night 25 cents to S1.

FOR A STATE FAIR.
Some of the Plans of the Connecticut
 Fair Association.

Hartford, May 2.-The incorporat- ing of the Connecticut Fair assoeia- tion is being accompanied by much work al Charter Oak park. In 1sOI the track was surfaced with clay and this spring 1t is in such condition that about all that will be necessary is rolling. Much work is being done in grading the grounds about the track and in giving a new layout to the driveway which circles outside the track. Years ago this driveway fol. lowed close beside the track. but Il was afterward changed to follow graceful curves. This spring some oi the curves are being treated so ss to have a more gradual turn. By fill. ing in there will be more gradua slope between the track and the drive. Tn front of the park the driveway will be some fifteen feel further east and this will leave a broad lawn between it and the track This year the cattle shows and ths fruit and vegetable exhibits will b. located as near as is possible to ths entrance. The large central field in side the track has ben seeded down T, is expected that many of the ex. hIbits will be under canvas. and tents win be located.
 Work has been begun on the trzel and 1t Is expected that by June ths track wiIl be open for trainers
