The quick action of Charles Liv- i ingston, driver of the big fve-ton l truck of the R. A. sherman sons company from era shins into the Bro phy store in Canal street and striking
 an ornamental lamp post in front of 1 the office of The Westerly Light and l Power company. Tuesday morning. l The truck had a load of sewer pipe, 1 and five laborers, and coming l down Canal street and, when in front 1 of the Brophy store. a truck owned ieloy J. H. Blaclller and going in the same direction struck the hub of the i forward left hand wheel of the Sher- man truck. The impact caused Liv- i ingston to lose control of the steering i wheel for an instant and the wheels on one side of the truck went the 1 sidewalk. the truck heading obliquely 1 for the Brophy store. Livingston soon 1 had hold of the steering wheel. ap- piled the brakes. shut off the engine, and brought the truck to a StandStin
 and within a foot of the lamp post l with two wheels on the sidewalk and 1 two in the street Two lengths of the l ia rge sewer pipe were broken. and one of the laboTers had one foot caught between the pipe when the truck stopped. His injury was slight. None of the other men were injured The steering gear was so badly damaged that the big truck had to be lowed to a garage The BIackler truck was not dam aged and the driver claims his truck
 did not strike the Sherman truck but
 q dent in the wheel hub soH the Sher-
 man truck tends to discradit the
 claim, unless this mark was there be-
 fore the accident. but it did not have that appearance. Another excuse for
 the accident is that the |. big truck skidded on the trolley rails and be-
 fore the machine could be controlled
 went onto the sidewalk. Mir Living stop, who is an expert motor truck driver denies that the truck skidded and that the accident was due to the
 Black1er truck striking the forward hub of the Sherman car.
 Preparations were completed for an suspicious opening of the forty fifth , annual fair of the Washington County ] ASricultural society at Kingston on Tuesday morning. and arran gements 1 made for the accommodation of an immense crowd of people, but the great crowd did not assemble as it !! was not a fair day for the fair. When l the gates were opened at eight in the l morning the wind was from the north i east and q brisk rain storm vas on. ! and the whole event bore q gloomy i aspect. The officials of the fair the i exhibitors. and the concessionists | were there in force. ready to enter | tain and do business. but patronage ! was lacking. The result was a gen i eral disappointment mutually shared ! by tine fair management and those | who had planned to be at the fair on ! the opening day. The exhibits in all ! classes are larger than ever. and | there is marked increase in the gen | era1 attra ctions. With fair weather | for the ba lance of the week. this big 1 Washington county event will be big ! ber than ever, so say the mana cement ] and everything about the fair grounds i gives substantiation of the claim.
 More horses, and faster ones, are en- i tered for the "a cinS events. and it is 1 expected there will be lively contests ] for the liberal purses offered Al 1 Kingsley the veteran horseman and i AI-,, horse racing, will act as starter for the races at the Kingston fair for the 1 fifth consecutive year.
 The races scheduled for Tuesday and a double bill, that is four instead :: of five events will be pulled off. The , card: 2-30 trot and 2.25 pace; 2.22 trOt and 2.19 pace.
