NIGHT ATTRACTIONS
 AT THE 1918 FAIR.
Electric Lights Will Give the Bright ness of Noonday-other Features Coming.

Plans to make the 1913 fair of the New London County Agricultural so- ciety the biggest thing of it's kind ever held in this part of the state are going steadily forward All the committees are hard at work Pretty soon the en- tries will commence to come in, and from then on to the fair dates-Sept 1-S-things will hum at an accelerated pace in all departments
 The night fair will be taken adYan- tage of by hundreds that cannot get cur 10 the grounds in the day time The electric lights will be up shortly, and the first night in September will see the grounds as light as they were at monday
 The night fair is what we have wanted for long time" said labor leader 10 one of the socletyS ofhcers- There are many workingmen who can not get out there in the daytime who can readily go out at night In that way they don't lose any time, and, be- sides they have more money to spend than they would have if they took a half day of at their own expense : Secretary -Greenman and his workers have heard from other men in similar vein. The night fair will be a novelty in this part of the state and should take well.
 Cattle on Exhibition All the Time.
 Another good idea, in the. estimation of everybody who has heard of it, is to have all the cattle on the grounds by noon Monday and keep them there until Wednesday afternoon. It was perfectly just complaint for many years that the first day was largely devoted to getting them there and the last day to getting them away.
 It is suggested by a good many peo- pie that the night fair ought to have fireworks and the suggestion may be favorabiy acted upon by the manage ment.
 Trolley Extension Suggested.
 Some people have called the atten- ton of the society's officials to the fact that the electric road ought to be ex- tended along the Salem turnpike, in which case there would be a siding good for 50 cars and the back door to the fair grounds, SC to speak, could be used to relieve the congestion at the main gate. However, the man who knows as much about the grounds and the handling of the fair crowds as any body is of the opinion that the en- trance should be as close to the mid way as possible.
 Say what you wish about that fea- lure of the fair" he said, its the thing that draws the crowd, both city and country, and we've got it in the right spot now"
 A Great Midway Coming.
 The midway this year is going to be a great midway. It will have more and bigger attractions than in any pre- vious year, it is expected.
 Many inquiries about the aeroplane flights are coming in. The flying ma chine is going to be the big card-no mistake about that.
 May Fly Over City.
 We shall try to have the aviator fly out over the city and look down on as many of the people of Norwich as pos sible.' said Rutherford c. Plaut the original aeroplane at-the fair man. My belief is that we can get at least double the usual attendance every day of the fair just to see the flying ma chine" Mir. Plaut thinks there will be 20,0OO people on the grounds the middle day.
 It was told about town Friday that "Fordie" Plaut would go up in the aerial craft after the aviator and the societys press agent had made trip without broken bones The man whose birthdays are diligently remem- bered by his friends laughed a laugh when he heard the yarn, and he would not talk for publication. He keeps on meeting young men-and now and then a man further along-with the ambi- ton 10 try a trip. One of them is man who in 1909 refused a chance to sail with Capt. Tom Baldwin in the red devil" the old aviator brought with him to Norwich. The captain didn't fly the last time he was here. His biplane went up three times and Lee Hammond one of the captains pupils made all the flights. Hammond has since been trying out various makes of aeroplanes and biplanes for army officers in the Philippines.
 Some Feature Attractions Coming.
 Sidney 6. Merles the New Haven midway manager. who was here yes terday, said he would have the K. & E. company's dancing girls from Coney Island a fat and a fat woman, a comedy and jug Sling wire team, a merry go round, and a whole lot of other real good things. He is travelling several states for attractions and is in touch with some of the best acts in this part of the United States. He and MT Greenman will be at the grounds all day today to lay out the midway.
 ''We may have stuff enough for two midways." he said.
