FIREWORKS WILL FEATURE
 THE NIGHT FAIR. Secretary Tells Fireworks Concern to Go the Limit.

The love of fireworks is primitive, elemental and instinctime Not many centuries ago fire was mans most ef- teCt1Ve protection against wOId beasts: 2 Centrai fireplace was the principal
 naV- of his crude home ''Tba fire plaTe creates a family circle and pro- notes deeper understanding and sympathy among it's members" The fireworks spectacle at the County Fair 1 is the fireplace of the community q center of sociability and 8 place for
 all the members of the large family circle
 Since the inauguration of tdc ni..ht
 Ia at the New I.,'' C0 COU. " F,ir
 fireworks has been the special Jig
 feature and this year the fireworks
 .;rm to whom the contract for the d.sp ay has been awarded was ci zen
 the program Of the displays given at last years fair and to.d to 20 rGe lIm:1. All you have to do is to pre-
 pare a display of features in the pyro- l technical line that will outdO the one last year and everybody will be sat
 ished," said the secretary Of the fair association. To the many people who saw the displays of last year such a 1 thing might seem impossible but the
 programme as furnished by the con cern manufacturing the fireworks
 promises something out of the ordin- ary and which should elicit more praise for the fireworks spectacle than any other feature of the fair.
 The same feature acts that are given daily on the open air stage op- | posite the grandstand will be given at
 each of the night fairs and the exhi- bition buildings will be open also.
 The entire charge of the stage at fractions and the announcing will be I taken care of by a Norwich boy who
 has made aname for himself during 8 period of several years spent in l the west. Leaving here several years ago and settling in the Coast state of Washington. he soon became interest cd in the shows known in the west as "trontier Days" where sports of the ! carly settlers in our Golden West were given for the edifiCatiOn of the later settlers. Soon taking up the pro noting of these spectacular exhibi- tiOns he toured the coast cities and in cidentaIy made a name for himself
 as the wittiest announced at the sporting events held by the Elk lodges
 along his route. At the last big auto road race held in Los Angeles last
 year this young 1lan was chosen from among a score of well llr)'V S,nT Ounc CTS to wieId rhe pig mc9aphCnc in front of the grandStand and incident ally keep the crowd good natured dur
 iug the waits. NTT. James Hayes, well known to the people of this town and tC EllIs throughout New England and the West is the man chosen to have this part of the County Fair program in charge and the fact is assured that
 the program will be run off without any hitChes.
 Everyone who enjoys a good. clean
 entertainment will be more than am ply repaid for 2 visit to the County Fair this year for they may take their l choice Of the music, vaudeville, horse racing. balloon ascensiOns, fireworks, or exhibitions of live stock, machinery, farm products, industrial displays or wOmens and children's work. The educational features of the fair will | vie with the recreatiOnaI ones in the enjoyment of the days.
 For some years past the thought of Labor day brings to mind the opening of the County Fair and the labor or ganizations of the county has coop erated with the fair officials with a view to making their National holiday one of the biggest and best of the l three of the fair. This year a. last year the officials and members of the 1 Central Labor Union will be seen on 1 and around Franklin square on Labor Day and all friends of UniOnism- ! every person who believes that this day of tI2e workers among our people should be a big day-nnay help the cause along and Incidentally help along the treasury of the c. L. UT. by buying a ticket from one of the boys l with the c. L. IT. badge on his coat for on every ticket sold there is a
 small unanClaI return 10 the union. l The workers will be conspicuous with their badges and will be frund not alone at Franklin square, but also at the entrance to the grounds. Last year the ticket sellers of the unions sold nearly 5000 tickets and this year l they hope to do even better. Every friend of the union men can easily do their little bit to help along by buy ing a union ticket and seeing the big fari on Labor day.
 When the call goes out from the judges stand for the first race at the County Fair which opens on Labor day at the grounds of the New Lon- don County Agricultural society in Norwich, Conn, Albert H. Merrill, of Danvers, Mass, who created such a favorable impression upon the spec tators by the manner in which he got the field of starters off well punched in each race and with very scores, will be seen again with the starts flag in his hand. "Bert" as he is known to forsemen all through New England made a host of friends here both among the horsemen and exhibit ors for his genial and IOquaciOus man ner. .
