South Windsor Me-, Sept. 16.-(spe-
ciaD second day of the World S
fair at Windsor passed as one of the
pleasantest and most successful in
years.
With ideal weather and the roads
in excellent condition over $500 peo-
pie visited the fair grounds during
the day. There were automobiles by
the score while among the horse
drawn vehicles nearly every style and
condition of road cart ever nanufac-
tured seemed to have come togeth-
er in one place.
The day was sort of "old Home
day." Former residents laid down their
duties in neighboring communities and
returned to renew again old acquaint-
ances and to form fresh ones.
Children were numerous and both
young and old mingled together with
wholesome disregard for formality.
The various committees were busy
the entire day awarding premiums up
on the many entries to be judged.
Two good races were pulled off, one
in the 3-minute. and one in the 2.27
class.
The exhibits in the main hall were
Of a high standard. Luscious vege-
tables and fruits. great rosy apples
and shining rows Of preserves con-
trasted pleasantly with the many
beautiful examples of needle craft and
weavery about the hall.
Worthy of special mention was an
excellent display of home products by
the Windsor Grange.
During the afternoon the ladies
found much enjoyment in the progress
of the Baby show, which was held in
the main hall.
