] whether or not the society was un X der obligations to admit all breed of cattle, owing to the fact that i receives a state appropriation. MT Jarvis deferred the appointments un. til later date.
 Reports of Departments Messrs Webster and Jarvis were named as delegates to the annua meeting of the Connecticut State Fail
 association to be held in Hartford
 next Tuesday evening and the meet. ing was brought to a close with the reading of communication from ( Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, who was un able, because of previous engage H1ent, to be present. It follows: The automobile parade on the 1 opening day of the fair is fitting and picturesque method of announc- Ing that the wheels are really in motion. If the response of automo- bile owners to the invitation to enter We're only more general and enthusi- astic, the parade could undoubtedly
 Se maintained from year to year as a E distinct and successful feature. AS
 a matter of fact, however, owners are
 only persuaded with great difficulty
 to decorate their cars. It calls for a sacrifice that few people, apparently. are willing to r2ake. We carried \ through Q parade of fifteen cars last fall, but with an expenditure Of time and energy altogether out of
 proportion to results obtained. l, . therefore, recommend that the parade bs omitted next year unless a group * of five or six young men can be < found with sufficient enthusiasm to ' take hold of it and make it a great Buccess.
 tss' Class o School Exhibit The school exhibit of last year was without question the best that
 las ever been displayed. The limta i, ton of space, however, makes a euitabl exposition of children's work practically impossible. Children from s New Britain and other towns are
 competing in larger numbers every
 year. The quality of the work has shown a marked improvement for the last few years. It is a most at {. tractive exhibit to the children and ' their many friends. If it's possibilities J are to be fully realized it would seem ' worth while for the directors to con- sider the wisdom of increased space for the exhibit.
 Children's Games.
 -AThe innovation of holding chill dren's games on the afternoon of the opening day was we'll received by the crowd and won the most enthu- sfastic approval of several hundred boys and girls and the Boy Scouts. The general plan allows for great Variation in detail and, if it is de- cidcd to hold the games next year. such details could easily be worked out. I have in mind several attrac- tive features that might well be used to- supplement the games as run off last year.
 .'The committee kept the expense of the games we'll under the figure suggested by the directors, but would not recommend anything less than $50 for purchase of prizes and nec- essary equipment. Every school room in town was visited and the games ex- plained to the children beforehand. More of this sort of work would in sure little more srnoothness and expedition in getting the events un- der way. It also is conducive to good feeling on the part of the chill dren to the fair association
 Stearns For Secretary. Although the directors have not settled upon anyone yet, the name tof Elmer w. Stearns is being proni- snently mentioned for the office of secretary. By his excellent manage ment of the midway at the recent fair, he proved his ability and the consensus of opinion is that he is the only logical candidate for the vacant position. The salary of the secretary is $500.
 Linen Shower.
 The teachers of the kensington Grammar school engineered a very (sncc cessful chafng dish supper and linen shower in honor of Miss Amy Dudley, whose engagement to Jesse Burton of Waterbury was recently announced, yesterday afternoon. After the linen offerings had been duly made an impromptu entertainment, lin which the engaged teacher was made the subject for much good ns1tured fun was staged. Each
