 of Rockville which received Is

 Arnold of Stafford with his string of 20 pairs received 1st prize for tow1 team. The competition on draf oxen waxed warm and the judges dit not finish their work until latt Wednesday afternoon.

 Business was active on the midway and the concession men who add ss mech to the life Of q fair, all seemes to be prosperiss9 It $ a very difiionll tilsag to keep the midway up to tn, standard, demanded by the state laws, and at the same time to have il interesting enough to please the folks. Charles B. Gary, who has charge of this branch of the fair, is no prude, but he will not stand for murder or the insiduous dance of the Turk. Frequently MT. Gary has been obliged to close up something on the after noon of the third day of the fair to meet the wishes of the reform element, but as far as known he was not called upon to act this year. It was about the same old thing and a lot of it. Teddy bears, Yamma Yamma babies, Indian blankets, canes, hot air and refreshments. A faker had a new idea this year and soashed in on it materially. He had a couple of fairies under an awning and speoulators were at liberty to try to ring their ankles with wooden rings for the regular tariff. The girls sat in chairs on an elevated platform, and the prize was a pair of silk stockings.
 Good order prevailed all three days. Chief Louis Helm, who has had a severe illness, was able to be around on orutches and took charge of the police. Chief Helm, even on crutches, is better than some officers sound. Tn addition to: the local force there were several outsaf- town officers and they did their duty we'll. There were no accidents and very little loss from pickpockets.
 The society this year tried the ex- pertinent of furnishing good dinner for half dollar on the theory that a we'll fed man or woman could enjoy the various offerings of the fair better. The dinner was served in the main dining hall and was literally pasxoaized. General satisfaction is reported and it is probable that the plan will be tried another year.
 A feature of Tuesday, cattle day, was the procession of cattle exhibited. There were 67 yoke, ranging from calves to the big working oxen. They were shown on the track in front of the grandstand. They were driven up one side and down the other. As they passed the judges stand President Hall passed out a crisp one.dollar bill for each yoke in the procession.
 The foot racing on Wednesday drew a large and fast field. The feature of the games was the presentation of the magnificent Col W. H. Hall trophy loving cup to the winners of the mile relay race. The local men did very we'll as they were up against some of the fastest men in the east. There were 19 starters in the half mile, 10 in the 1OO.yards, 9 in the mile and 2 teams in the relay who placed as follows: Half-mile e-won by J. M. Roche of New Haven A. A. i; 2d, D. A. Buckley, Jr., of N. H. A. A. Sd, Joe. Fitzpatrick of Stafford A. A.; time, 2 m seo 100 yards by A. J. Howard of N. H. A. A.: 2d, O. H. Knipe of Middle town; 3d, R. Davidson of Storrs; time, 10 3-5 sec. mile-won by H. M. Lioktag; 2d, M. F. Cornwall; ad, J. O. Confrey, all of N. H. A. A; time, 4 m 58 sec. Mile relay-won by N. H. A. A.; 2d, Middletown; Sd, Stafford A. A.; time, m 38 3-5 sec.
 The racing program, in charge of Lott O 'Halloran, proved an imrpotant feature. MT. O'Halloran does not d;olibo Iorsos Tho oro,no of kIooo animals which is distasteful to some does not bother him. He considers no time wasted in advancing the sport of kings. This year there was interest in the racing, as the new track on which thousands of dollars have been spent was ready for the fiiers. The visiting horsemen were much pleased with it, and it is believed that next year when it is settled it will be even better. There were plenty of entries in most of the events. The summaries show the winners:-
