Al very interesting exhibit at Kings ton fair is that of the state fisheries commission, which includes swimming fish of both salt and fresh water spe- cies. There is also on exhibition some very large seed Holsters and Shafk, a dead one, that is even larger than the :.ferocious man eater that can be seen for a dime in tent In the midway.
 There is also quite big display of modern garden implements, 1n- cluding motor driven machines, and in the same section are many ve- hicles, including a chemical fire en- zine.
 The fair will close today (Friday) and it is termed Firemen's Day, as the annual muster of the Rhode Isl- and Veteran Fgremen's association is to be held on the grounds and there will be active contests for prizes for squirting and hose reel races.
 Thursday was the big day of the fair and the attendance was fully up to the standard and, to degree, made good for the small attendance of Tuesday and Wednesday. All reg uIar and special trains from the west and east brought in many patrons of the fair, while hundreds of others came by automobiles. When the spe- cial train from Providence arrived with Governor Beeckman and staff, Senator Lippitt, Congressman Stiness, and others prominent 1n the politics and business of Rhode Island. they were met at the station by a delega- tion from the fair management and escorted to the fair grounds. After lunch, and after a general get-togeth- CT of politicians, great and small, from all sections of the state, there the senator and congressman. The party of distinguished visitors from down Providence way departed on a special train late in the afternoon. The horse racing of Thursday was some improvement over that of the day before. There were two events, as follows:
 Roger Williams Driving club stake, 2.25 class trot. purse $400: William Guy, bay mare, John Cavanaugh, Providence, won in three straight heats. Time. 2.Z5 IA, 2.27 1-4, 2.2S 1-2. Lady Clay, b. nn., Speedway stables, Providence, second; Millie W, b. m., H. Atherton Bailey, South Providence, third.
 Named race, purse 500: San Jacin- ton, b g., won in three straight heats. Time, 2.1S IA, 2.16 IA, 2.21 IA. Mabel b. h.. third; Emerald, b. g.. fourth.
 Several patrons of the fair, willing to pay a fair price for a far dinner, complain that in one of the tents, where the meat, the mashed potato, the piece of sweet potato and butter, were served on one plate, In cheap restaurant style, the price for the din- ner was one dollar. The aforesaid patrons declare that such imposition does not tend to popularize the Kings ton fair. However they would cheer fully submit to this particular i'm position at half the price.
 The big midway privileges were all taken by the fair fakirs, and as a result there was an overflow. The fake wrestlers, the dancing girls from Frisco, and the wild cannibaf. were allotted places contiguous to the mid way.
 Many went to the Kingston fair from Westerly, Thursday. It is ex- pected that another large crowd will go to the fair today (F'riday) from Westerly, accompanying the Westerly Veteran Firemen's association, who have entered their machine, Star in the squirting contest, at the annual muster of the Rhode Island Veteran Firemen'S association
