Fairs Must be Decent.

The trumpet has sounded from Capitol Hill and the warning has gone forth that henceforth agricultural fairs in Connecticut must be conducted strictly in accordance with decency and with due regard for the dignity of the state. Action seeking this improve ment in the conduct of fairs within the commonwealth was taken by the state board of agriculture at meeting held at the headquarters of the board in the capitol, in Hartford, Thursday moru- ing, and the action was the result of the concerted opinion of the members. Fairs must be conducted without games of chance where money is offered for prizes, or where prizes which have been won are bought back for cash. The lid is on. and on to stay as long as the screws, the bolts and the bars will hold, according to the intimation of those from whom the mandate came.
 The board at its meeting voted unan- imously to prohibit at all agricultural fairs: All games of chance where money is offered a prizes, or where prizes which have been won are bought back for cash. When a member of the board, acting as delegate to any fair or when a member of the board is a visitor to any fair, and shall call the attention of any of the officials of said fair to the fact that such a game or games are being conducted upon said fairs grounds, said official or officials shall immediately thereupon cause to be arrested, ejected, or temporarily con- fined, as per Section 4404, the person or persons engaged in such game or games of chance. When the attention of the fair official or officials hall be called to the fact that such games are being conducted, they do not immedi- ately take the necessary steps to com- ply with the last mentioned statute, it shall be prima facie evidence that such game or games are being conducted with their knowledge and consent, and such fair association will not be entitled to its state appropriation.
 "All indecent shows, and shows for Men only will not be countenanced by the board, and all fairs permitting such shows upon their grounds will not be complying with the regulations of the board as to the conduct of agricul- tural fairs as by statute law required" "

Snake Gets Trout.

A dispatch from West Avon says: "Trout are getting to be decidedly scarce in the Lovely street brooks, the principal reason being that there are about five fishermen to each trout. Edward Keeney, an enthusiastic young sportsman, who spends his summers on Lovely street, discovered gray snake in the brook with trout in its mouth. As the trout was smaller than the law allows to be captured the snake should have been arrested. However, this particular trout was rescued and the question arises as to whether snakes art in the habit of devouring trout iu season and out of season. n
