BROOKLYN FAIR.
Plenty Doing on Closing Day-Melody
by Tubbs' Band-First Award to
kiIlingIy Grange.

There was only a fraction OF the
number al the fair of the Windham
County Agricultural society at Brook
lyn Thursday that went over to see
the exhibition on Wednesday, but those
that did attend had an equally good
time. The majority of those who put
in the appearance on the last day were
dyed in the wool fair fans-people who
yearly make the round of the county
fairs, go every day, and stay until
everything but the popcorn is packed
up. They are the blue ribboners of
the fair-g going species.
1t was close to the noon hour of the
closing day before many people got to
the grounds, the ajority being at
tracted only by the track events ar
ranged for the afternoon. 1t was rath-
er cool, too, In the early part of the
day, and that may have had much to
do with knocking down the gate re-
ceipts from the very satisfactory
amount shown at the close of business
Wednesday-som more than
$500.
Tubhs' Band Gave Concert.
Tubbs' band of Norwich gave a
sun bath. concert from IL o'clock un-
til noon that helped thaw out the
groups that gathered about the organ
ization seated on chairs in the open
outside the exhibition building This
band, by the way, cost the fair people
a little more than they have been in
the habit of paying for music during
the last few years but the consensus
was that it was worth the money,
which was better spent than it might
have been for frayed vaudeville acts,
missing from the programme this
year.
And while mention is being made of
the band just a little space must be
given to its veteran leader-C. w.
Tubbs-who, during the many years
that he has been identified with must
cal organizations has come to be al
most as we'll known in Windham as in
New London county. While not as
active a leader today as he was when
many who watched him direct Thurs
day first knew him. he is still a figure
among the musicians.
Horse Day.
Thursday was designated as horse
day at the fair. yuch classes OF
equine aristocracy as had been ar
ranged for exhibition were paraded be-
fore the judges on the track after II
o'clock and the experts on horseflesh
gazed from the grandstand or in many
instances divided the display space
that they might be afforded a better
view. Frank 3. Kennedy Of payVille
got d first for matched pairs and also
a-Arst for family horses. A. A. JACQUES
of South Killingly received first award
for brood mare and colt.
