BRITISH PUBLIC
 DOES AWAY WITH
 TIPPING EVIL,

London. Sept. 24-Among the big fraternity of people in London who count tips as the bits of sugar in life, the railway porter would appear, judging from the results of inquiries made by the Daily Chronicle, to be the only person with cause to feel particularly sweet.
 The holiday season is his harvest Men and women going away to the seaside tip with equal generosity sometimes for services rendered, but as often as not in anticipation of favors to come-not infrequently the corner seat of the compartment. The genial alert porter at al London sta tion can amass in trifles a sam of f5 or more a week.
 The waitress at the, hotel or res taurant, no matter how we'll she has fed her guests, has often no> reward beyond the knowledge of a service well rendered, while the chamber maid enters bedrooms with little hope of finding silver coins shy1y left in corners of washstands.
 In short. the British public would appear to be neglecting the art of tipping-perhaps for the best of all reasons-increasing hardupishness.

ORLEANS COUNTY FAIR
UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS
Premium Awards Given i'm
Full with Other News
of Event

The Orleans County fair held at
Barton Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of last week was a success
in every particular. Though it rained
Tuesday and undoubtedly kept SONS
exhibits of live stock and of other
things away, most departments were
well filled The exhibit of live stock
was good, showing much blooded
stock from the representative herds
of the county and in the different
breeds.
The racing was better than for sew
eral years, several classes having
many starters. The track was In
splendid condition in spite of the
rain and fast time was made.
Threatening weather on Wednesday
morning did not keep the crowd away
for more than 1000 tickets were sold
at the gates, which meant at least
5000 people on the grounds. Thurs
days crowd was smaller but was
! large for the last day, the total at
tendance passing that of last year.
This means a success financially for
| the association.
The ball games were both good, but
the one of Thursday between Newport
and Barton was unusually close, GO
| ing ten innings and then Newport
winning by only one score.
| Floral hall was the usual interest
ing place for all. The department OF
fancy work was fully up to former
years and the main hall was filled
with many interesting exhibits of a
commercial nature. Automo bi le
dealers had fine exhibits of standard
makes of cars which drew many spec
tators.
The air plane exhibit was some
thing of disappointment as the ma
chine did not come near enough the
crowds for close inspection of the
maneuvers he made and did not land
on the grounds. 1t is claimed thai
he did not care to take the risk oi
making landing with the crowds
and his landing field was out of sighi
and hearing of the fair grounds.
The detail of the races, ball games
and premium awards are given below,
which tell the story better than words
can.
