 Thousands of Lights Used
 Electricians from Hartford arrived on the scene of the fair on Wednesday morning, and before noon the entire area bld been strung with thousands of white lights over Pomfret street and through the trees of the park Among the small globes hundreds of big highpowered bulbs have been plac- ed. which, together with the big bulbs hung in each booth, will give an ef- feet of great brilliancy. On the ad- vice of many local people who attend ed the very successful fair of the Will limantic Elks last week, it was decid- ed that in Putnam white lights would be used entirely instead of the usual colored lights, which, while adding to the decorative effect, do not accom- plish great deal in the way of brill lianey.
 Decorating Began Today
 chairmen of the various booths were on hand early this morning at tending to the decoration of the booths in their charge. Owing to the fact that rain might arrive on the day of the fairs opening. the decoration was deferred until the last minute. \ great convenience to the fair workers is the use of Odd Fellows hall. kindly donated by the lodge to the uses of the fair committee fot three days ani nights for the storage of material.
 To Be Open on Saturday
 While traffic will again pass through Pomfret street throughout the day of Saturday, many of the booths at the fair will be open during the after noon in order that the great number of visitors to the city for Saturday shopping may have an opportunity of taking advantage of the various at fractions offered. The street wip again be shut off from traffic Satuf- day evening at : o'clock and will con tinue shut of until II o'clock, as on Friday evening.
 Police Arrangements
 A force of ten police officers will be on duty at the fair under the direction of Captain Jarvis. A watehman to guard the booths and properties was placed on duty early last night.
 Those who visit the fair are sure to find much that will please them They may find something. to criticize, but they cannot criticize the sincere efforts of these ladies of Putnam who have labored so hard to make the fair and the Hospital Fund a to be remem- bered success.
