AT certain hours of the day New
York's harbor takes on the appearance
of n great railroad freight yard. Dur
ing the past month 1922 cars have been
ferried across the North river from
New Jersey to Manhattan on an av-
erage i'm day. To transport these
miles of ears some $50 great carl floats
cross the river every twenty four
hours. This does not include the
heavy traffic between New England and
the south-both of passenger and
freight cars-which passes on down the
East river. Ii is a surprise to find that
i'm spite of the enormous volume OF
shipping about Manhattan Island. the

The County Fair
Notes of the Annual Exhibi-
ton Sept. l2-14.

The new poultry house on the fair
grounds is fast nearing completion.
1t will be an ideal place for poultry
exhibit. 1t is bright. long and well
ventilated can easily be kept clean,
and surely will be enjoyed by the
birds themselves, as well as by all
lovers of good poultry.
We think this move in the right
direction. Taking into account the
fact that the poultry of New England
exceeds in value that of sheep and
cattle, why should not they be enti-
tied to an equal representation in
show circles !?
The building seems specially
adapted for the purpose, and all
poultry breeders of the county ought
to be sure that the coops are filed.
If they are, twill prove one of the
chief attractions of the fair.

Colt Injured in a Runaway.

A runaway with a thrill or two
occurred near the Inn Saturday
afternoon. David Rutherford was
driving team up South Park street,
the Bridgewater stage coming along
at the same time, between him and
the park fence. An automobile shot
around the corner of the Inn from
South street, and Mr.. Rutherford's
rig was caught between the two vehi
cles.
AS the horses SHE'D a little a
whiffletree on the stage struck one Of
the pair, a colt, in the hind leg,
making a severe wound, The young
ster kicked busily for second or
two. then the team turned, ran over
a-corner of the Inn lawn to the flower
plot at Court street, where the horses
freed themselves from the blackboard,
the colt making spectacular jump
over the hydrangea bushes there.
Mr. Rutherford was pulled out
over the dasher, but was unhurt,
and stopped the horses few rods
away, Mr.. and Mrs. George Wiley,
relatives of the Rutherfords, were on
the rear seat of the blackboard, but
were not thrown out. A broken pole
on the blackboard was the extent of
the damage.
