 Eclipse That of a Year Ago.

With a range of entries from Mi antic and Lyme to northern Sprague
 the committee on the Baby show for the county fair is kept busy these
 days making entries, answering in- quiries coming in by mail, telephone or calls, and seeing that each proud mother entering the baby is given the pink ticket on which is the baby number and class, and which will ad- init the mother and baby at the gate free.
 There will of course be no expense at- tached to any one entering their ba- bies in the Baby Show. The class ticket given the baby will give ad-
 mission at the gate. and of course there will be no charge at the Baby Show tent. The Baby Show manager
 has met ready response with the mer- chants and business houses of Nor

 be an especially fine crop of babies this year. Last year brought out some real beauties in the infant. line, but | next Tuesdays display will have that one eclipsed both in beauty and num- Der. Special care will be taken to

 not only the main building but the
 annex would be full at the fair this year, and that he was mighty glad to report that he had not only landed

 been in New London. Mystic, Ston- | ington. Jewett City, Baltic, Westerly
 and other places, and everywhere he | has been he has heard much favoC- able comment on the 1914 fair and the
