The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-09-14

the dog show, the load pulling contests of oxen, and the expected aviation feats of Stanley Y. Beach, the Green field fair enjoyed today, the second of three days, an exceptionally large at tendance, and as on the opening day. the records for attendance in previous years went to smash.
 The Greenfield fair opened yesterday with ideal weather. and the excellent transportation facilities provided be- tween the fair grounds and the Fair field cars brought hundreds of Bridge porters. More than a hundred auto - grounds bringing visitors from all parts of southwestern Connecticut There were equally as many teams. Fairfield contributed it's usual large at tendance
 The big feature of yesterday was the poultry show. Today the. dog kennels were the center of interest. Tomor- row the awarding of prizes in the dog show will be completed. and the inter est will center upon the Blerfot mono plane exhibition by Stanley Y. Beach.
 Probably the finest display of pouI- try the fair has ever. produced was ex-' hibited yesterday and hundreds crowd ed about the show, while the judges awarded the prizes. Chief of the ex- hibits was that of the Pequot Poultry Farm whose prize fowl to the number of 40 compelled admiration from all WnO nave 111lOISSl4 [AAS 1CcII1AOA OA
 Other large exhibitors were C. A. Wintzer, W. O. Burr and George Sar- tain George D. Til1ey's ornamental attraction last year, could not be se- cured this year. The Robinsons. also large exhibitors, have left the Bron- son place in Greenfield, hence their ex- hibits were conspicuously absent.
 Though the directors of the show feared that the enforced abandoning of the horse show would result Tn loss of interest in the fair, they are pleas antly disappointed. Though many patrons yesterday urged efforts to- wards the renewal of the annual horse hibits in all other departments was unexpectedly keen.
 The Bedfords the Robinsons. Louis Morris, and others of the principal ex- hibitors in the horse show have given
 up their. stables. The automobile has
 supp1anted the horse in Greenfield, and instead of the magnificent span Of blacks, Donder and Blitzen. which the
 Bedfords uSed to display; the fine

 bles; or the Kentucky thoroughbreds
 from the Armstrong stables m this city, were to be seen yesterday a group of numbering oxen. creatures swelling with huge muscles as they teiled at the tremendous loads of stone and hu- man freight piled upon sledges in the weight pulling contests at the race track.
