improvement in Last Sample of Water
 Analyzed.

A striking difference in two samples of water taken from the Whittemore Park spring was seen when City Health Officer Keating on Saturday gave out the report of the last analysis by State Chemist Newland at Middle town. In the second sample, taken on Aug. 29, the number of bacteria is found to b. remarkably low and the water quite safs for drinking purposes. The report from the same office Of the water taken from the park spring on Aug. 6, three weeks before. showed that the bacterial content was extremely high The state chemist suggests that third sample be taken to determine If there are any variations. Meanwhile, the Willimantic men interested in the water problem are puzzled to explain the difference in the two samples taken within so short a time.

Crowds Wait Fair Ground.

The fair ground was an objective point for hundreds Sunday morning and afternoon. They visited the racing stables and admired the horses, eight carloads of which arrived Saturday in Willimantic for the races that begin tomorrow. More horses came Sunday. The novelty of seeing the mushroom growth of midway attracted many, and good many tents were up by Sunday night. Every train brought more showmen and fakirs, but they were looking for a rest in the interim between fairs and gave the police no trouble. Sunday morning a number of the trotters were being worked out on the track and some of the brushes ths t were pulled of indicated speed later in the week.
