| w eQneSQay, The second day or the New London county fair surpassed the first in point of attendance by about a thou l sand, and when the figures were esti- mated at night 1t was figured that close to 5000 people had been on the grounds during the day. It was crowd that came early and stayed late, made up in good proportions of the farmers from the surrounding country who came with their families for the whole day at this big yearly event.
 Suiky Crashed Into Fence. | So far this year the fair has made a record for quiet and orderhness of l the crowds attending, and in the ab- sence from accident or other unpleas- ant features, but the gray gelding, Charlie Herr, owned by Gary Brothers of Stafford, furnished few moments of excitement Wednesday afternoon, when his sulky hit the fence on the l turn in one heat of the 2.22 class, | throwing both driver and horse to the 1 track There was little damage, how ever. and the danger of the other horses in the ace driving into the fallen trot- ter on their next time around was guarded against by sending out man 1 to warn them in time, and all swung wide of the tangled horse and sulky as they swept by,
 | All the attractions of the opening day were found still on the grounds by the arrivals on Wednesday,, and all had their share of patronage.
 Among the crowds present were all | types and for each there was some thing to engage their attention as l they wandered to and fro seeking ex- | citement, entertainment or novelty in I what was afforded by the exhibits or around the grounds. Noticeable among the merrymalSers and pleasure seekers were the rural swains, whose acme of 4 enjoyment seemed to consist of g 1 bunch of yellow yardsticks in one hand, a pretty girl in the souvenir while souvenir cane and flag com
 pleted the outfit of the rural tourists
 of the fair grounds.
