JAMES (. HAMMOND SPEAKER AT FAIR

here at home as those boys are doing over there in shell scared Franco We must give and then give some more until this Kaiser is put where he beD longs along side that parsonage known as Satan. MT. Dunn's remarks were greeted with applause.
 The last event of the afternoon was the balloon ascension. The day was perfect with a gentle breeze blowing toward the north. The balloon sailed almost straight up and owing to the clearness of the atmosphere every movement of the daring aeronaut was visible to those on terra f1rma. He cut away from the balloon at about 2500 feet and the crowd held it's breadth while the daredevil fell rapidly, his parachute only half open, but when about five hundred feet above the ground she opened up and the crowd gave sigh of relief The crowd saw 1 the man shift on his trapeze but he i would not make the second drop. He ] landed on the hillside to the north- twest of the grounds in an apple tree. On his return to the grounds he stat 1 ed that he fell from his seat on the l trapeze but managed to catch by his hands and came down to earth dang 1 ling in this manner.
 Today will be Red Cross day at the | grounds and twenty per cent. of the l receipts will be turned over to the Red Cross As an added attraction Harry l Bond will bring up the New London 1 Ship and Engine Company band which will give a concert on the grounds. It | is expected that the attendance, will
 be large as there is going to be several things worth seeing that have been saved for the grand wind up. 1 Close racing featured the second | days card at the New London county fair on Tuesday. The feature event of the day proved to be the PA trot for a purse of $400, which was won by
 Miss Prim, black mare, owned by w
 H. Hall of South Wilmington, Conn. after four heats. Barron's Belle, roan mare, after taking the first drew sec
 ond place in the second heat, fourth
 in the third and second in the final
 landing second money. Evelyn Rae
 Watts took third money and Joseph
 c. Patchen. bay gelding. took fourth money. The first heat was close, Bar
 ron's Belle winning by inches over
 Miss PriTn, who pushed the leader hard
 in this heat. The next three heats
 were also close, the field being vel
 punched until the stretch was reached when Miss Prim swung out in from
 and came under the wire a winner 1T l each heat.
 The 2.14 trot proved to be an inter.
 esting and close race, although the l time was slower than the class called for. Forest B., owned by Oscar Vol | fenden of Attleboro Mass won 1T straight heats. although the stallion
 was given close race by Josephine Watts, who took second money. Mo Klosky. bay gelding. took thirt money.
 Today's card furnishes some fas racing and there will be an exhibition : mile driven by William Bedard, wh, . is only 13 years and drives his father 8 year old colt.
