fair in the state 1t has grown by leaps and bounds until it is recog- nized as one of the outstanding fairs in the state and is attended by thousands of spectators each year who marvel at the exhibits offered by this popular fair.
 During the past three years, the fair has been held but one day, but the exhibits and concessions have been so large that talk of holding a two-day fair has arisen.
 Several different reasons are of- fered for the popularity of the Ter. ryville fair, among them being the excellent fair grounds located on two state highways, making it easy of approach the spacious grounds, capable of parking nearly eral low admission to the grounds.
 Since being organized the Ply mouth Agricultural society has 200 members and in addition to sponsoring the annual Terryville fair, 1t has taken its place among the leading organizations in this town in sponsoring various forms of amusement.
 The fair is the outstanding event to be held in this town during the entire year while the annual min- strel show also presented by the fair organization during the winter has become the outstanding musical event to be presented during the winter months. Preliminary plans for presenting the annual minstrel show is now being made by the so- cial committee and the public may be assured that this years show when presented early next year will be fully as good or getter than last years star show which was pre- sented before crowded house of 800 people.

FLACMAN DIES
 AFTER ACCIDENT Auto Throws Him Against Train-Petty Thefts
 Reported

Benjamin Ross, aged 60. flagman at the Litchfield street grade cross- ing died yesterday at the Charlotte Hungerford hospital as a result of the injuries he received in an acci- dent at the grade crossing Friday night, involving an automobile driven by Mrs Ellen McCaul of 166 North Elm street and the p. m. northbound passenger train. The driver of the car thought that the watchman was signalling her to continue instead of halting. MT Ross was thought to be only slight ly injured at first and his death was most unexpected. MT Ross re- ceived a severe gash on the head, a fractured collarbone and bruises on both knees. The train was the New rk-Winsted express, train 158, in charge of Engineer Harry Clark and Conductor John O'Rourke. Mrs McCaul, the driver of the car, was arrested on Q tech nical charge of violating the motor vehicle laws and was ordered to appear in court Monday. Thomas Wall, prosecuting attorney, stated that the case would probably be continued pending an inquest and report by the coroner, Samuel A. Herman. Bonds were fixed at $2O0 last night.
 MT Ross was born in Bridgeport. July IS, 1871, son of the late Benjamin and Ducas Palinter Ross. Since the age of seven he had re- sided in Torrington. He was em- | S.la ha ay.in 1l l.ac xNln nxat for a period of over 30 years. Sur viving him are his wife; a son, Benjamin F. Ross; daughter, Mrs Raymond Bennett; a grandson and a brother, Robert Ross, all of Torrington.
 A neighbor living in the vicinity of the Litehfield crosisng has sug- gested that to eliminate the possi- bility of any more accidents at the crossing at night, especially on a foggy night, that the signalman wear a white raincoat.
 Many Petty Thefts Here Lately A wave of petty thievery has started in Torrington recently. No less than six cases have been re- ported In the last few weeks. Four of the thefts have occurred during the present week. The latest was reported yesterday by Mrs Fred Chaplen of 33 Willard street, who stated that seven rabbits had been stolen from a small building in the rear of her residence.
