A certain gentleman, when asked
recently how politics were coming
along, replied: There amt no poll
ties this year, and he seems to have
been very near right. Never in the
history of Dorchester county politics,
and probably in the history of the
y
position for partisan politics; the is
sues at stake are too grave for pea
nut politics, and the politicians seem
to recognize this fact. The time for
the filing of certificates OF candidacy
expires Monday, Aug. goth, at mid
night, and with this event only one
candidates. in sight.
Ia
of the Dorchester Water Company,
in East Cambridge this morning, the
water got low in the standpipe and
there was practically no pressure all
over Cambridge The water was
down to l 5 feet in the Standpipe, but
began to go up shortly after three
O'Clock, when the break in the
pumps was fixed and they were star
ted to pumping. The sub-station at
the foot of Mill street was in opera
ton, but it was easy to see that it
cannot anything like supply the de-
mand at this season of the year, al
though as soon as the electric mo-
tors which have been ordered for it
are installed its capacity Will be in
creased.
The Dorchester County Fair has
never had such good prospects as
those of this year. Every day brings
inquiries concerning some line of eX-
| hibits. People who have not atten-
ded the Fair for the past two years
and some who have never attended
have announced their intention of be
ing present this year. The securing
of the Sibley attractions was a ten
| strike in the amusement line, fol-
| there is no company on the road to-
! day that carries as many attractions
as this concern; the Midway this
! year will more than make up fol
what it lacked last year. The fact
too, of eliminating the charges fol-
teams and automobiles has quite ma
| terially reduced the cost of attend
! ing. 1t is a safe bet that the Dor
chester County Fair this year well be
the Great, Big Fair of the Circuit.
