BERT FAIR BUILDINGS At MANCHESTER
TOTALLY DESTROYED IN SPECTACULAR FIRE

With hundreds OK people coming
from miles around, drawn by the
spectacle OF the flames Ieaping high
in air, and the combination fire
truck from the Hartford fire station
in this city on the scene within a
few minutes OF its discovery, and an
eager group of the red shirted veteran
firemen returning from the hand

rush through the buildings, the set of

CobbOsst econtee in Manches Ter,
owned by w E. Farr, were burned
to the ground Monday evening.
The fire started in the southern
end Of the hay filed barn, and within
a few minutes Of its discovery at
about o'clock the entire structure
was a mass Of flames with the light
wind carrying the blaze along the
connecting shed To The ell and main
house, which were obviously DOOM

situated OH a slightly spot on the Pond
road and is visible for miles around,
and the red glow against the sky as

which could be seen from the Mon
mouth shore, attracted the summer
people and residents from all points
around the lake, With the call to
Augusta for assistance of the fire de-
pertinent. word soor spread about
the city of the fire, and hundreds OF
automobiles quickly made their way
to the scene.
Early arrivals did everything in
their power. but no human agency
had the means to check the Gcvas-
tating inroads of the flames, and all
efforts were concentrated in remoV-
ing as much of the household furnl-
ture as possible from the main house.
