FAIR CAPPER FINED.
Horgan Assessed $35 and Costs for
 Theft of $1O.

John Horgan, who gave his ad- dress yesterday as Holyoke, Mass. and today as Sommerville, Mass. was arraigned before the police court again this morning. He was charged with theft of $20 from Adrien Hamel. Yesterday he was charged with as- sault and breach of the peace. Hor- gan gave his occupation as a chauf- feur but admitted that he had como down in this vicinity to work at the fair as a "capper".
 When arrested yesterday only small change could be found on his person but when re-examined later by Officer T. E. Malone the stolen $20 bill was found hidden in his matchbox neatly concealed under the matches. He was fined $35 and costs by Judge James T. Meskill. The prisoner immediately entered an appeal but when he learn, cd that the bonds for the appeal were s2OO he withdrew the appeal and will serve the fine sentence out in jail

seph Latham. E. R. Marsters of the Koehler Motor truck company, is MT. Cohen's guest at the fair for the week. A. G. Hawker, with 8 booth at the fair, has sold four Wasco garage heat CTS through Eugene Leach and has also sold 8 number of tires and other appliances. MT. Leach today re- ceived the sworn statement that MT. Strong, of the New Britain Gas com pany, had obtained 19.000 miles from a Goodyear cord and J. A. Andrews had obtained 16,000 miles. A feat ure of this exhibit is a $2oO army truck tire, 38x7. Rackliffe Brothers auto booth, in charge of Mr. Sprague, is doing business and today John Markham of Wallingford added his Premier touring car to the exhibits. The motor cars now offered for sale here, in addition to those just men, toned. are the Crow Elkhart, Adna Johnson; Indiana truck, New Britain Carriage company; Vim and Selden trucks and Hupmobile touring cars, I. Honeyman & son, and Chalmers and Oakland touring cars, Harry Moeller.
 Elmer w. Stearns, who has charge of the midway, is working constantly from morning until night, keeping the various concessionists satisfied and making sure that they satisfy the authorities. Again last night the state police made a visit to the grounds, but no arrests were made. MT. Stearns however, detected one man running a crooked gambling game and ordered his temporary arrest. He was ordered to forfeit his rights at the fair and was chased out of town. Another man was warned.
 In the honey tent this noon small boy from Hartford visiting the fair with his mother, became too curious in watching the honey bees and es- saved to capture one for a souvenir. Further details are unnecessary, suf- flee 1t to state that the boy obtained his souvenir, but the bee escaped vic- torious.
 Owing to the large number of guards that the authorities have stationed around the fair grounds, 1t is almost impossible for people to "sneak in' without paying. and although a few of the small boys. being fleet of foot and strong in nerve, have escaped the vigilance of the guards, a number of grownups who have essayed to "work" their way in nave 1alled Slgnally.
 Despite the many other attractions the crowds that attend the fair all find time to eat, and an idea of the vast amount of food consumed may be obtained from the statement of one dealer alone. This morning MT. Hart, agent for the Bradbury cruller company. disposed of 100 dozen douehnuts and still was unable to supply his customers along the mid- way.
