 to Be Going Great.

The entries for the county fair baby show are coming in at a great rate, R. c. Plaut, the originator and the active manager of the innovation, said Monday. He took a fstfull at his store that day, and when he went to the Lee & Osgood Co.'S, to H. M. Le- rous and to Smiths prescription store he found waiting for him three more substantial punches All the kids were duly carded and catalogued by Miss Mazie Ryder, the clerk of the baby show committee.
 It was decided yesterday to put Will liam Beckwith in the judges stand with a megaphone to act as announcer for the races and also to keep the stuff on the vaudeville stage going accord ing to Hoyle. He has been given carte blanche as to the use of humor by Secretary Greenman, who never did want the twentieth century fair to be a Quaker meeting.
 George Hickey, Willimantic man, asked MT. Plaut yesterday for chance to go up once just once, with Ed Mar tin in the Curtiss biplane.
 I'm willing to let George do it. said MT Plaut, but the Thor people might object Please spell that word Thor, for Harry Thaw won't fly for us. He did that for somebody else the other day"
