CHARTER OAK PARK.
Management Must Think Of Many De.
tails In Planning Big Fairs.

A fire department, a hospital and a
complete system of police. both mount
ed and on foot, are included in the
preparations which are being made
by the management for the fourth
Connecticut Fair which will open at
Charter Oak Park on Labor Day.
When 1t is realized that on big days
the fair contains in it's grounds more
people than any of the cities of Con
necticut except the three or four
largest, it may be seen that all the ar
rangements of a city government
must be provided.
During the fair of three years ago
which exceeded all attendance records,
Il was variously estimated that from
$4,000 TO $4,000 people were on the
grounds on single day. While during
the present year the fact that on La
Dor Day the fair will be the only big
attraction of the state, and that on
September the President of the
United States will be in attendance,
gives promise of a much larger at
tendance than during the biggest year.
To provide for this big attendance
the most skillful management is nat
urally necessary for in addition to
all the work of arranging the various
departments; preserving harmony
among the widely scattered interests
of the various exhibitors; directing
the work of the small army Of laborers
and attendants, and accounting for
every cent of the great sums which
are daily poured in at the gates; pro-
vision must be made for all possible
accidents.
The MANAGEMENT of a huge fair. like
that at Charter oak, naturally be-
comes a serious affair and one which
consumes the entire time of large
Office force during the whole of the
year. About two months before the
opening of the fair, however, il begins
TO quicken its pace and TO approach
fever heat, which ii reaches during
the actual week of the event. The
chief commander Of what is really
small army is either the secretary or
the manager. In the West 1t is the
former and in the Eastern fairs
Connecticut among them-it is gen
orally the latter. The presiding genius
of the Connecticut Fair is l. H. But
terrified, the manager, who before
coming TO this state, was secretary OF
the Michigan Fair, one OF the largest
in the world. The chief-secretary or
mana ger-naturally divides his work
into various departments some of
which remain under his own super
vision, but most of which fall under
the conduct Of department managers,
who, of necessity are men of widely
varying talents and tastes.
Thus, for instance, the manager of,
the cattle exhibit must be "A man of
lifelong experience in the actual rails
ing of cattle. and still more of strong
acquaintance among the cattle men.
The manager of the racing may he a
man of personal experience on the
tracks or may be one of the directors.

Fine Races at Annual Regatta
CObbOsseeCOntee Yacht Club.

The Cobbosseecontee Yacht Club held
its annual yacht races Saturday at Island
Park Although the day dawned dark and
threatening by the time the races were
started the sun was out and a gentle
breeze blowing. A fair-sized crowd lined
the piazza and short front of Hotel Pines
10 watch the races.
The first race on the program was the
handicap race, open to all boats. The
distance was twice around a triangular
2ih-nlle course, the finish being at Hotel
Pines. Al 235 the preparatory signal was
given, lowering of white flag on the com
modore's yacht and one gun. Five min
utes later the starting signal was given,
one gun and hosting of white flag on
eommodore's yacht.
The first boat to get underway was the
Psyche: two minutes later the Otis and
Halcyon started; five minutes later the
silver Slipper and Alpha. The first three
boats had more than completed one lap
before the Atoris was allowed to start,
but when she got started she gained very

a large handicap she came in last, fight

that foreigner visiting Yokohama

CONVENTION BOYS

COMMITTEES ALL REPORT Ex-
cELLENT PROGRESS AND AVA
TON COMMITTEE FEELS THAT
RAILROADS HAVE DONE WELL
EXPECTATIONS ARE GREAT.

Everything is in fine condition fol
a splendid convention" said J. M
Bathrick, chairman of the aviation
committee of the United Commercial
Travellers convention TO be held in this
city next Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday.
Next week at this time the city will
be alive with visitors from all parts OF
the northwest and Canada embraced
in the jurisdiction of the order of the
u. c. L. which holds it's big annual
convention here This is a great year
for Fargo and the next week will prob
ably see the greatest crowd Of the year
in the city.
1t is expected that over 5000 people
will be present. All the committees
have been working hard to make the
convention a success in every respect.
and If it falls short of expectations, it
will not be the fault of the members
Of the committees.
The aviation committee has been
working night and day to make the
coming flights of Lucky Bob st. Henry
next Friday afternoon the chief event
of the convention, and Mr.. Bathrick
has not left one stone unturned to ac-
complish this feat. On that day ii is
thought there viii be at least 10000
visitors in the city, coming from all
the towns and villages in the vicinity
In both Minnesota and North Dakota.
I'VE have seen everyone and / do
not believe a soul has been overlooked
in our canvass said Mr.. Bathrick.
"AlI the merchants have contributed
beautifully to make this convention a
success, and the railroads are to be
especially commended for their gem
erousity. All of them contributed to
our expense funds to help defray the
cost, so that the boys are exceedingly
grateful to them for their considera-
ton.
I'VE found we coud not arrange to
secure rates for aviation day, as we
had at first attempted to do. It was
not that the railroads were unwilling,
but it was because they could not be
guaranteed large enough crowds from
each point for a certainty. Much de-
ponds on the weather conditions that
day At Lisbon, for instance, there
are quite a number of people coming
to Fargo to see the aerial flights pro-
viding the weather Is good, but who
would not guarantee a big enough
crowd to come regardless Of the wealth
err, so that the railroad could not take
the chances of running a special train
on such an uncertainty and arrange
the right of way and all the details
which would practically mean the
preparation Of a special schedule"
On the whole the committee is quite
pleased with the prospects and feel
that the convention will be huge sue
cess.
