 The Big Fair.
 The various committees for the fair are working hard. and an effort is to be made all along the line to make the coming event the busiest and best of all the fairs in this section. The amusement committee Is making an exhaustive examination of the merits of the various acts available, and has already made one important engage ment. The famous diving horses, King and Queen, will appear each day of the fair. These beautiful animals are admired by alLr lovers of horses for their appearance. and their act has never failed to delight those who have seen 1t. The horses ascend to a high platform, of their own volition. and dive into a pool l2 feet deep. The expense of this act makes it prohibi- tive for any fair in Connecticut. with she exception of Danbury, Stafford and Hartford. The expense for the horses alone is an important sum, but when it Is remembered that In addi. tion to this the society will have to build a platform and provide a pool, some idea can be secured of what the local organization is willing to spend to give their patrons the best there Is The committee is seriously consider ing the engagement of 8 flying ma ohine of some sort, but is handicapped by the fact that the track at the grounds is but a half mile. Glen Curtis, the famous aviator. writes that it is very difficult to get 8 ma chine up with less than mile track to work on. The committee has not given this feature up, however, and if some means can be found of over coming the difficulties encountered there will be something doing in the flying line. The valuable prizes offered for athletic events are sure to bring some good talent here for the fair, and these events will prove Q pleasing feature for many. David Bissett, superintendent, and H. O Butterfield, secretary, are at work on the preliminariss of the dog show. Two money prizes will be offered in each class, and an entrance fee of 25 cents will be charged. The classes include settlers, pointers. fox hounds, beagle hounds, St. Bernards, bull dogs, fox terriers. Ayerdales. spaniels and miscellaneous. The building for the poultry exhibits is being cleaned up and made ready, and it is expected that there will be a complete show ing.
