The Rockville Fair

"Old in years but everything else is
 new" This aptly describes the 10th
 annual Rockville fair, which will open
 at Hyde Park, Rockville next Tuesday,
 continuing Wednesday and Thursday.
 The management this year has wisely
 decided to run the fair both day and
 night. This is an innovation that is
 certain to be appreciated by the. thou sands of Rockville fair patrons. Elab-
 crate plans have been made to enter
 tain and educate the people with the
 many new and novel features and the
 exhibits, which will be more exten- sive than ever. They will include
 grain and vegetables, dairy and do- nestle cooking, fruit, plants and flow CTS, cattle, draft and trained oxen, sheep and swine, horses, agricultural
 implements, poultry and fancy work
 by women and children. Never in the history of the Rockville Fair assOcia- tiOn has the management given so much time and thought and spent so much money, in it's efforts to make the fair not only thoroughly modern, but a model fair in every respect. It is expected that all records will be brok- en in all departments and that un- precedented crowds will attend the fair all three days and all three nights
 The announcement that Rockville is to have big night show at this years fair is attracting much attention everywhere, but this is not all. On Thursday afternoon, the Rockville fair ! management will stage a big league ! baseball game. A new diamond has been laid out at Hyde Park and people who attend the fair on the last day will be given an opportunity to see the Brooklyn National League base ball club and the All-Collegians, (Holy CrOss) in battle royal The Brook lyns will bring their entire team of 25 players. There is much interest in \ this game, which is certain to prove a big drawing card. Another new fea- ture will be poultry show, destined to be the biggest and best in Connect ! icut. Thousands of high bred birds will be on exhibition. The COnnecti- cut POmOlOgical society will also have a remarkably fine exhibit. The race meet at the Rockville fair is always a feature, and indications are that it will
 be more successful this year than in several years There are nine open classes, with purses aggregating near ly $5,00O The Rockville fair has al
 ways prided itself on it's stage show
 and this years stage show it is prom ! ised, will be out of the ordinary, with
 a goodly number of acts of high quail | ty. There will be performances each
 afternoon and evening from the big
 stage opposite the grandstand. Other
 features are bicycle races on Tuesday
 the opening day; hose race on We'd
 nesday and athletic events on that
 day, cattle parade and day and night
 band concerts. A feature of the 1929
 Rockville fair that will appeal es-
 pecially to the young people will be
 the open air dancing each evening on
 large platform With open air danc-
 ing, band concerts and the big show
 to say nothing of the mammoth and
 matchess midway, with the brilliantly
 illuminated grounds, it will be gay
 and festive scene each night at the
 Rockville Fair. There is every reason
 to believe that the 70th annual will
 be the banner fair in the history of the
 Rockville fair association. Wherever
 and whenever the Rockville fair is
 mentioned, the slogan is, Let's go all three days and three nights Adv
