Everything is practically in readi- ness for the opening of the state fair and the prayer of the promoters is for fair weather. No expense has been spared this year to make the fair the biggest and the best ever, as the saying goes.

 The fair this year will be run days and not nights as has teen the GUS tom previously. The fair, however, will run the entire weak this year to make up for the loss of the evenings. The factories this year are to hold an industrial meet which it is thought will bring out several thousand from the different factories about the town. This meet is not to be confused vii I the annual A. A. U. meet which is run in conjunction with the fair. St. Joseph's Y. M. A. A. of New Brit ain are holding the meet this year and number of the best athletes in New England will be present to com rete.
