 Fair Notes.
 With the present conditions of no cases of infantile paralysis in this town, the children of the town will probably be allowed to attend the Stafford fair. Health Officer Park hurst will decide by the time of the next issue of The Press whether ohil- dren from out of town under 16 years of age will be allowed to attend or not. s :.
 The committee on attractions for the coming fair, October TO-. II and 12, believe that they have secured program so varied and attractive that it will surely please the public. None of the auts that will be shown here. have appeared at any of the fairs in this immediate vicinity, and only a few have appeared at anywhere in the state, and those at Danbury and the state fair at Berlin. The stage per. formanoe will be under the direction of Harry Henry, an announcer of ex- perience who will carry things along in the same snappy way he has run off the events at Brookton for num- ber of years. One of the feature acts that will surely thrill the crowd is Dare Devil Oliver, the high diver who jumps from the top of a ladder l11O feet high into small tank of his jump is from a height 80 feet greater than the new chimney at Smith 6 Cooley's, it must be con- sidered some jump. The leopards are considered the most highly trained animals of their kind in the world, and those who fancy rapid athletic stunts will enjoy the ohain-lightning work of the Montrose troupe who appear in colonial costume contrary ] to the time worn custom. Raffin's monkeys is a cute feature and sure to please the children and some who have passed that stage in life. The skating Hamiltons have done some sensational | work in that line in the best vaude vile houses in New York, and the dancing turn will be in the hands of nifty people. Dalbenie 6 Go. have the best comedy act anywhere to be found in the open air and are sure to please.
 The prizes for the athletic events are to be displayed in W. E. Hanley t Co.'S window The Henry Hall cup has been on exhibition in Hartford for the past week. The committee on athletics are working hard to make | these events a success.
