no man buys a right to run a ques- tionable game when he pays to show at the fair and that if his actions don't measure up to standard he must take the consequences.
 Attendance Over 5000.
 By two o'clock the attendance at the fair reached high record mark this for the day. At four it was an- nounced that the receipts at the main gate were in excess of $1,200, and the estimate of the number present was in excess of 5000. Before two o'clock there wasn't a seat unified in the grandstand and many bought their way in to stand or sit along the rail ings in order to view the races from a point of vantage. Along the quarter stretch hundreds more were lined up and they held their positions all of the afternoon for the racing this year was very much above the usual stand ard for the fair.
 Ladies' Driving Class. Between the heats the entries in the ladies' driving class and in the family horse class were shown. Mrs. Fred c. Leavens won first place in the ladies' driving, Mrs. A. Tait Hope, also of | Dayville, second.
 All in the Family. The Kennedy family made the fam | fly driving horse very much of a fam | fly affair, Frank $. Kennedy, of Day 1 vile, winning first, Louis E. Kennedy, | of Danielson, second.
 Nearly 50 Pairs of Oxen. 1 As usual. part of the morning pro- gram was the showing of steers, en- l tered by individuals and as town | teams. There were nearly fifty pairs | of oxen on the ground, indicative of | the fact that these beasts still play | something of part in the farm work done in surrounding towns.
 Experiment Stations Tent.
 A most attractive feature of the fair was the big tented exhibition by the | Connecticut Experiment station. The | displays in this tent were instructive as to the care and general handling of cattle that best results be obtained. | Students of poultry methods and practices found much to aid and in struct them and there were entomo- | logical displays Of very great interest. | A canning exhibition was one of the | special features of the afternoon at 1 the tent.
 l The band concerts were by the Ma l tiOnal band of Moosup and the aero 1 battle numbers and other vaudeville attractions varied and entertaining. l The fair proved very much of a suc- cess and a source of enjoyment for 1 thousands. The rush away from the 1 grounds began soon after four o'clock, but it was dark before all got away.
 The Free for-aII Card.
 With six starters in the free for all race, there was fine stepping for the race devotees during the afternoon. Peter Agan won this race handily, the summary of this and the other track event of the afternoon being as fol- lows:
