All Kinds of Fun
At Windsor Fair

Final arrangements are being
made for the opening of the South
Kennebec Fair at South Windsor
next Monday. This fine old institu-
ton, with It's record Of thirty-seven
consecutive annual fairs, IS about to
embark on It's thirty-eighth venture
with the brightest prospects. The
association has, by careful and wise
management, built up an exhibition
of which they have good reason to
be proud, and by standing faithfully
to the good old fashioned principles
Of square dealing, are looking for
ward to the coming annual event
with the utmost assurance.
Primarily a horse race and cattle
show, thesa features are now almost
eclipsGi by the very many inter-
esting things which have been ad-
ded and offer a distinct appeal to
the approving public. A very large
list Of entries for the races has al
ready been received. The list in
cludes several we'll known horses
with a statewide reputation, many
Of whichN have never before visited
Windsor. There will also be few
acts of vaudeville nature between
the heats on Monday and Tuesday.
The famous Savage sisters will also
entertain with their novelty dane
Ing. The race card for Tuesday will
be supplemented by a contest for
Ford cars, which will hold the inter-
est of great many as well as pro-
vide considerable amusement. The
race consists in making the circuit
Of the track in high gear at slow
speed, the last car under the wire
winning the race.
For the benefit of those who Law
ish their admiration on the sleek
looking farm animals, the two day
cattle show will be continued This
plan affords an opportunity for all
who wish to visit the fair on either
the first or second days to see the
magnificent display of neat stock
for which this fair is famous. 1t is
to be regretted that the quantity of
neat stock kept on the farms in this
section of the state Is not on the in
crease. This condition Is more than
Offset, however, by the very much
better quality of animals which now
stock the farms.
Superintendent Bullock of the
midway, Is authority for the state
ment that q very much larger num-
Der Of concessionists have engaged
space in this amusement department
than formerly. The shows. vendors
games Of skill and so on will be re-
inforced by large group of enter
tainers who are coming direct to
this fair from showing in Massachu-
sets. A strict watch is maintained
over the Midway to make sure that
no practices are INDUCED in that
are contrary to law.
One of the brightest features of
this fair will be the generous guam
titles of good music produced for
the benefit Of its patrons. The Au-
gusta Cadet Band has been en-
gagged to supply musical entertain
ment for all three days. This fact
alone is sufficient guaranty to those
who are RECALLED by this part of the
entertainment. In addition to the
band, Fowles' four piece orchestra
has been secured to play in the ex-
hibition hall the first and second
rays. This is new idea and is one
which is certain to be much appre-
ciated
Baseball fans will be much inter.
ested to know that game has been
arranged for the first day, and will
be called at 10:3 80. On the third day
various contests open to Ford cars
will be staged. These new and novel
features should be much enjoyed
