Awarded to W, E, Olm- stead of Danbury—Casman to X Leave Berlin—Town Clerk Receives Jury List—Arrested for Blackmail, At a meeting of the directors of the Berlin Agricultural society last evening in the Town hall at which President Charles M. Jarvis pre- sided, several important questions in regard to the state fair to be held here on September 14, 15, 16, and 17, were decided. Considerable part of the evening was devoted to the discussion of a cattle exhibit, Because of the foot and mouth dis- ease which has been prevalent in this state, and which at present is threatening animals in the state o New York there was a question in the minds of several of the directors whether a cattle show would be ad- visable. An inquiry forwarded to State Commissioner J. O. Phelps has banished all fears as he reported that the disease has been entirely radicated in this state. After viewing the ques- tion from every angle it w voted to have an oxen show as ome of the fading features at the exhibition. Other fairs about the state, with the exception of a few insignificant on have abolished their cattle shows thi reason. This fact will make the local oxen show one of the attractions which should draw exhibitors from all over the state, and one of the best collections of prize oxen that has ever en assembled. In order to make it worth while for the owner of tha oxen to bring their animals to the Jocal exhibition very suitable prem- jums will be given. A committee of five consisting of Colonel Jaryis, Dan- fel Webster, George Kibbe, William H. Webster and R. O. Clark was ap- pointed to secure sufficient cattle owners to exhibit. > Another attraction which will arouse considerable Intere.t will e the machinery exhibit It was unani- mously daecided by the directors to award the contract for this feature to W. E. Olmstead of Danbury. Mr. Olmstead is known in this state oy almost every progressive farmer He has had charge of the machinery ex- hipition at the Danbury fair for a imber of years and will feature his attractions at the Hartford fair A general line of plows, cultivators, arm implements, enginés and all other farming machinery will be I>- cated at the local grounds for inspec- tion. A visit was paid to the fair grounds yesterday morning by Mr. Olmstead and Secretary Leland Gwat- Xin, and the Danbury man expressed whimself well pleased with the lay- out of the grounds. Two large silos ground to his exhibition. The direc- tors expressed marked enthusiasm in discussing advisiability of securing him to exhibit the machinery, and they are positive that the exhibit will meet with the approval of all who will have occasion to inspect it. As the fair this year will be con- ducted on four nights as well as the same number’of days, the illumina- tion of the grounds, and the awarding of the contract for the same occu- pled a prominent place in the dis- cussion. Poles will be erected about the groundsand wires will be strung about.. Powerful searchlights will be placed at vantage points and will re- volve about, playing over the grounds. The midway will be brilliantly illu- | miniated. It is probable that the con- tract for the illumination will be awarded to the Spring & Buckley Co. of New Britain, who bid §400 on the.| job. It was voted to leave the mat- ter in the hands of Secretary Gwai- kins, who is to decide upon the mo: suitable concern to receive the con- tract. A gratifying report George E. Green, who the racing program. purses will be offered, gregating $2,700 for Three races will be in order for three successive davs. The handsome | purses should attract the best trot- | ters in the state and some lively races | are expected. E. W. Stearns. who has charge the midway, reported that this year attractions will exceed those offercd in former years in every shape and manner, Already he is besicged by numerous prospective booth seckers requesting space on the midway. The opening day of the exhibition will be Children’s Day. As has been the custom in former years, a spe- cial program will be carried out on that day for the benefit of the young- er clement. Peanut scrambles, orange scrambles and numerous other games will be played, for which lucrative awards will be made. Fireworks will be displayea each cvening. The contract for furnishing the fireworks has been awarded to the same concern which had charge of the Fourth of July celebration ‘n New Briwmin. This alone should as- sure the public of a great display, ns it was the consensus of opinion of :Il who witnessed exhibition in Hard- ware city that it was the hest ever. A band concert and a vaudeville show will amuse the public each evening. The committee in charge is sparing no cffort tn endeavoring to secure the best vaudeville sketches available. Darcing will be in order each night to attract the younger set. A large orchestra will furnish the music. It is planned to have Thursday, September 16, as Govenor's Day Major Frank L. Wilcox was appoints: as a committee of one to invite the chief executive to be present. It iy expected that Governor Holcomb if he accepts, will deliver an appropriate address. It was also voted to issue | season tickets as has been the usual cutom at $2 each. Another meeting of the directors will be held in the near future when it is expected final details will completed to give th fair that it has cver had and one that ill honor the State of Connecticut as well as the town of Berlin, Oashman to Leave Jarvis.

Welch, who was recent- ly convicted in the local court for as- sault and 'has served a term in jail, is again in the clutches of the law. Welch was arrested by Deputy United States Marshal Timothy BE. Hawley at the Jewell Belting Factory com- pany, Hartford, vesterday afternoon on the charge of attempted black- mail. The warrant was issued by United States Commissioner Richard F. Car- | roll_charging Welch with violating the United States mail laws in rela- tion to fraud and artifice. When ar- raigned he waived a hearing and was bound over under bonds of $500 to the September term of the United States court. It is alleged that Welch penned a letter to Cyril M. Bragg of Windsor in which he demanded $100 or he would expose Bragg for a crime which he accused him of. The investigation which led to the arrest was conducted by Post Office Inspec- tor Francis X. Riley of Hartford, In Kensington on Honeymoon, Charles Elwood, formerly em- ployed in Kensington at the Ameri- can Paper Goods company but now affiliated with the same concern in Chicago, was a visitor in town yes- terday. Mr. Elwood did not make the trip here alone but was accom- panied by a blushing bride. The couple were united in matirimony a few days ago and while on their hon- eymoon Mr., Elwood stopped off at Kensington to renew acquaintances.

George S. Babcock, an avowed can- didate for the republican nomination for selectman is preparing a com- plaint to the public utilities commis- sion against the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company for blocking the highway by allowing its trolley cars South | ta remain at the terminal on West Main street for from five to ten minutes at a time. He will ask the board. to order the company to change its schedule to keep the cars moving on the streets. Babcock claims his complaint is justifiable and he expects favorable action will be taken. Business men have registered com. plaints against Officer Marino for or- dering drivers of automobiles to move their cars from the curb near the ter- minal to make more room for traf- fie. They claim the autos have as much right to stand on the high- ways as the trolley cars and that the town is without any ordinance that gives-the officer the right to give or- ders to drivers of vehicles of any des- cription. There is danger at the railroad crossing because of the congestion sometimes caused trolley cars, autos and teams all standing near the terminal and Mr. Babcock believes the utilities commission should do something to improve conditions. He also proposes to ask the hoard if the Connecticut company a legal right to haul freight cars from the steam railroad through the streets of the town. There has been con- siderable criticism of this practice as the cars are unsightly and are also a source of danger to autos and teams. Assume Duties Oct. 1. Officers of the Baptist church have been advised that Rev. J. G. Ward of Norwich, who recently accepted a call to the pastorate here, will begin his duties in Plainville about October 1. Members of the church werg anxious to have the new pastor take up the work in September but he decided to accede to the wishes of the Norwich Baptists who requested him to stay in that town until his successor coulil take charge of the church. , The church property is now from debt and the new pastor free will camping at Mountain Side camp at the reservoir captured a large black snake vesterday afternoon.
