GIRLS WON BASKET BALL CAME
SCORE WAS SHARON I6, CANAAN 6
The Novel Contest Called out Large Crowd at Canaan on New Years Day-Sharon Girls Were Consider ably Younger Than Their 0ppo- nents-Return Game.

On New Years day the girls basket ball teams of Sharon and Canaan playCd d a game in Town Hall at Canaan. Be- cause of the novelty of the contest, it attracted large audience who filed the incline. the stage and the seats along the side of the hall.
 The Canaan girls played a plucky game but were no match fof the Shal on team although the latter is composed of younger girls.
 Luck seemed to be against the Canaan girls, particularly in the matter of throwing baskets. The ball showed a perversity that was exasperating by rolling around the iron edge of tie basket and then dropping onto the floor instead of falling into the basket AId it appeared to be as accommodating for Sharon as 1t was perverse for Canaan Il for nearly every time it was thrown by Sharon girl, it lit where they desired it to light and scored the wanted two points.
 The game although one sided and re- sulting in a score of Is to i'll favor of Sharon, was replete with interest and amusement for the spectators.
 The lineup of the two teams was as

CANAAN MAY HAVE
 CARNEGIE LIBRARY
ALL DEPENDS ON MIR. CARNr"'E
In Some Instances he has Built $10,- 900 Libraries When $750 per An mum Has Been Guaranteed-He is to be Asked if He Will Do This for Canaan.
Canaan.

The library committee appointed by the Canaan Board of Trade to consider the library proposition from all stand points have information to the effect that Andrew Carnegie has in some in- stances deviated from his requirement that when he donates $10,000 for a li- brary that 5000 per annum shall be pledged for its maintenance. In these instances he has reduced the mainte- nance requirement. to S150 and ill pur- suing their consideration of the matter of better library facilities for Canaan, the committee have framed communi- cation to MT. Carnegie, asking if he will make Canaan one of the $750 ex- captions and donate $l0 000 for library.
 After looking into tho matter thorough ly, tho committee finds that with the library funds now available from various sources, and taking into account the possibilities, probabilities and individual pledges, the increased amount which it would be necessary to raise annually for library maintenance would not, in their estimation, be beyond Canaan's abilitys
 THE NEWS does not present the de- tails to-day for the reason that the matter has not taken definite form and is, as yet, but possibility. We shall have more to say on the subject when MT. Carnegie's s reply is received.
 There are two sites available for the building, one ill front of the Town Hall and the piece of land east of the Central New England railroad crossing on East Main Street.

NUTMEG STATE
 FAIR QUESTION
COMMITTEE WANTS SUGGESTIONS
Incorporators of State Fair Wish to Acquaint Public With Real Con- ditions Charter has Been Issued The Movement is Meeting With Opposition.

The Incorporators of the Connecticut State Fair wish to acquainU the public with the facts in reference to the history of the movement for state fair.
 The movement was launched at the meeting of the State Board of Agricul- ture, December, 1903 at Middletown and an appointed committee was the begin ming of organized effort toward reviving the fair. At the August meeting, 1907, chairman Seymour was instructed to ascertain if Charter Oak Park could be rented, leased or bought, to be used as permanent quarters for state fair. A letter was received bearing the signature of O. A. Jones as secretary of Charter Oak Park to the effect that they were not in position to take the matter up. The committee soon learned that there were number of places available.
 On Sept 16 the Hartford Business Mems Association voted to work with the organizing committee. A committee was appointed to visit the officers of the defunct State Agricultural Society at Meriden, to ascertain if that charter could be utilized as they were of the opinion that it carried an annual apprO- priation of $2500 and was chartered for the purpose of holding an annual state fair. This committee was to report after this information was obtained to a meeting of the two committees. On November 18th, 1907, 8 charter was issued to the Connecticut Fair, incor- porated, signed as follows: J. H. Francis T. L. Thomas, E. A. Taylor, incorpor- ators. This was the starting point of several so called state fair committees. A meeting was held at the state capitol. December 11th. All present represent ing real agricultural interests were heartily in favor of state fair. The wing morning the Hartford Courant' issued call, signed by A. J.. Welch, manager of Charter Oak Park. for fair meeting. Those interested were invited to meet him at the Hotel Garde on Dec. 18th.
 - At this meeting the keynote was horse racing, although some advocated state fair, notwithstanding that in conflicting with the newly issued State Fair Charter, as to a name, they would be violating the laws of the state. MT. Welch advocated $25,0O0 corporation, but stated that the grand circuit races must he run. This calls for $50, 900 in race premiums which would leave a liberal balance for agricultural pre- miums. In getting the interest of the movement the organizing committee in vite suggestions from all interested, and would be pleased to answer questions regarding the coming state fair.

N. Y N. H.& H, ROAD
 EXPECTS A CRISIS
NO CANAAN-PITTSFIELD TRAIN

Officials Admit Necessity of Train but say They Cannot Consider the Prop osition-They Claim Shrinkage in Business and are 0ischarging Men Bracing Themselves for the Bump" A reply has been received to the Board of Trade request, sent some time ago to the New York, New Haven tS Hartford railroad company, asking that the early morning train on the Berkshire Division he run between Canaan and Pittsfield instead of between Great Bar rington and Pittsfeld
 As was anticipated the company de- clines to grant said request, principally on the gronnd that they cannot afford it, although they admit it would improve the service.
 While we do not attempt to tell the N, Y. N. H. & Fl. Company how to run thelr road, we believed before the re- quest was sent to the company, and are just as firm in the belief now, that enough patronage would be obtained in Canaan, Ashley Falls, Sheffield, and from the territory surrounding, to make the additional 12-mile run a profitable one.
 The letter received by N. Watson Hardenbergh, Secretary of the Board of Trade, is as follows:
 New Haven, Jan. 1, 1908. MT. N. Watson Hardenbergh.
 Secretary, North Canaan Board
 of Trade,
 Canaan, Conn. Dear Sir:
 Your letter of November 30th, enclosing copy of resolutions regarding additional train service desired for the accommodation of North Canaan, ad. dressed to President Mellen, was re- ferred to me for investigation and reply to you direct.
 This matter has been given the closest consideration, both by our trans portation and traffic officials, and while it may be admitted that the proposed ar- engagement would give better service than at present, the proposition is not one now that this road can consider. Owing to the great shrinkage in busi- ness that we are encountering, and tho consequent large depletion of our reve- nues, the company finds itself forced to reduce its expenses in all directions where it canbe done without materially impairing the service.
 We are doing this partly by reduction in, and readjustment of, our train ser vice, and also by letting out of the ser vice every employe who can possibly be spared.
 We are doing all of the above with the hope that we will be able to meet the crisis which we feel IS rapidly ap- preaching and the preliminary effects from which we are already suffering, without reducing the wages of any of our employees.
 In view of the above facts, we are un- able to grant your request, for the pres ent at leastg
 We trust and feel that the public and our patrons will realize the necessity tor the action that we are taking and will feel enough interest to cooperate with us in the endeavors we are making, which we feel are for the best interests of all concerned.
 Truly yours,
 "Jno. F. Stevens"
 Vice President.
