PARACHUTE 2 DROP PROVIDES THRILLER
 ON SECOND DAY OF COUNTY FAIR

The balloon ascension st the local faii
 grounds late TnesdAy afternoon nearly
 resulted in . eatas$ruphe when the aefo-
 nut Henry Smith of the Smish Balloon Company of Boston, came within an ace of dropping thousand feet to his death
 The balloon ascended Hlajessically into
 the heavens and at the crack of the
 pistol the aefunaut cut loose His first
 s;Srachute did not open and dropped
 rapidly downward. The second shute
 opened after Snnfth had dropped some
 hundreds of feet. He was given the sig
 nal for the third drop and as he cut loose something went wrong with the straps on the second parachute and the third aeronaut's feet while he was hanging on
 to the second parachute
 A warning to stick to it was shouted
 to him by the balloon men on the ground;
 out either misunderstanding their cry or else discovering that he was unable to hang onto the second parashute Smith let go and dropped into space.
 Luckily he shot by the parachute without dropping into it. and luckily again the ropes were not tangled, his weight serving to right and open the parachute. From then on descent was easy and he landed just the other side or group or trees on the north end of the fair grounds. His escape from death was nothing short of miraculous The aeronaut's drop was one of the nlosl sensational ever seen on the local fair grounds
 The attendance at the fair Tesday afternoon was estimated at about 5000 l The crowds threnged the big exhibition hall and the various other exhibits in cluding the poultry. cattle, sheep and swine, farm products, farm machinery etc, proved centers of attraction. The
 midway did thriving business through out the afternoon. There, was good 1 sized crowd oh the grand stand at ! o'clock when the race program started.

sELEcTMEN/PUT TOWN
 ROADS IN GOOD CONDITION

with the constantly increasing de- mands for better highways throughout the country, the town of Norwich. un- der the able direction of First Select man Casper K. Bailey. Seiectman c. P. Bushnell and Selectman P T. Cornell. has endeayored to keep abreast of the times and during the past year many highway improvements have been made. No one appreciated these improvements more than those who attended the New London county fair. for instead of hay ing to travel rou Jh and dusty road 10 the fair grounds they travelled over smooth and dustless way
 The town h9s leveled the road from the city Zine at Naples corner on West Main street to the Bozral line and also laid a coat of tarvia and sand. The most notable achievement in the road work in this section of the town is the strip from Backus corner to the Man warning homestead on the old New Lon | don turnpike. This strip in years past has been rough and dusty road but dur : ing the spring and summer piece of macadam was laid and covered with a ! binding of tarvia. The road today is excellent and. thoroughly appreciated. The same road from the Manwarring place to Trading Cove has been grav- eled and graCed, another improvement 
 that was much needed.
 In the Norwich Town section many of the roads have been put in repair
 and at the present time the roads in ! that section Of the town are very good ] The largest task undertaken by the ] town was the putting in of a new road ! from TaftviTle to Peck's Corners in Norwich Town. This road although un- 1 completed at the present time Is well
 along and when done will he one ot the ; finest in the town. Several of the sharT 1 and blind curves are to he eliminated and the road straightened. This has
 been completed from Tsftville to the | Taftvi1le reservoir. The remainder oi the work will be completed soon.
 Other roads in the town have had more or less attention during the yea,
 under the supervision of MT. Bafey ans l the town of Norwich should feel prout
 of the condition of the roads as main
 tained by the seletmen.
