SHITH'S B STORE Franklin Square, Norwich, THERF, 1s no advertising medium ‘n Eastern Connecticut caual to The Bul- letia for b results Davies' father, who was bishop ot'smfin BAY The middle day has always been considered the big day at the.county fair, but since the opening day has come on Labor day the second day has had to suffer somewhat in popu- larity because of the holiday. The at- tendance therefore was not as large at the fair of the New London County Agricultural society on Tuesday, but it is estimated that there were be- tween 6,000 and 7,000 on the grounds during the day, whith was of course Pleasing to the 'officials. Tuesday was another ideal day for the fair and there was a particularly large attendance from the surrounding towns, with a large number from the city, so that in all quarters of the grounds there were crowds of people throughout the day, every feature coming in for its share of attention. Not a little was directed to the trial of the ox and town teams duning the afternoon. During the morning there was a busy hum about the grounds, the agricul- tural hall, vegetable tent, cattle stalls, stables and midway being thronged with interested sightseers, but as af- “FAIR CROWD LARGE Between 6000 and 7000 Were on the Grounds—lnterat- ing Features About in all Sections—High Dive 'a has a herdof 17 fine animals and wins distinction aod favorable mention from those who pass his stalls because he has the name of each animal plainly marked up. They. are all registered stock, among which the feature show- ing is made by the big four year old bull, Howie of Broomhill, a black and white animal, and the two vear old bull, Jean Armour’s Grandson, which shows white with red markings. Adding to the Jerseys already on the grounds, A. F. Read arrived with his herd of 19 from Lisbon late Mon- day afternoon, an exhibitor here for the last 15 to 20 years. Mr. Read favors Jerseys for their milk, exten- sively rich in quality and abundant in quantity, while the gentleness of the breed makes the cattle easy to handle. At the head of his herd is the four year old bull, Don, a magnificent ani- mal, as pretty as a picture, the black of his body and legs shading off into a delicate silver over his back. He shows among the others of his herd a four year old cow, Lady Sunflower, with a butter record of 2 1-2 pounds per day. Mr. Read left at home one ternoon arrived attention for the larger | curiosity, he says, in the shape of a number was directed to the track, Where a fine performarnce was given, The grandstand and bleachers were comfortably filled with the track lined on both sides with spectators. The races were interesting and the stage numbers pleased. Horse Racing. The opening number on the track was the 2.30 trot, in which three of the five entries started. Four heats were necessary, as Prince A. took the first heat with apparent ease, but there- after Aquarose finished first under the wire three times in succession and took first money.

The 2.35 trot or pace proved _the race of the afternoon, both for time yearling heifer with four horns. The extra pair are about three inches long, growing straight up between the nat- urally placed pair. A lone line of the red Devons stands under she sheds, the entry of G. H. Morgan of Salem, who has. 23 fine specimens of this breed. His stock includes a fine three year old bull, a pair of oxen, five years, under 280 and one interesting part of the exhibit is made up of the five calves so near in size as to be hardly distinguishable from each other. E. Waterman of Bozrahville was an additional exhibitor on Tuesday, com- ing with a herd of eight Holsteins, all registered stock, among which his three year old bull Eveline De Kol James, with two of his get, a bull calf and a yearling heifer, is a fit Jeader. Mr. Waterman’s stock is bred from the latest strain, and in his showing is the four year old cow, Kit of Walnut Grove, No. 2, which is one of the stars of his herd. Horace E. Howe shows a yoke of three vear old steers The Bozrah town team of oxen was and interest. Five started out of the|on hand during the day, consisting of eight entries, and Marion Direct won in * three 'straight heats, though Stranger had the goods and could have pushed the winner much harder. Sa- blémont was distanced in the second heat, while the third heat was a fight between Alcy Band and Intern for third money.

Motorcycle races have a big follow- ing now, and the five mile race with single cylinder machines was one of the afternoon's features. The favor- ite rider was H. F. Burdick, and he had no trouble winning. There were four starters, H. F. Burdick, C. V. Pendleton, Jr., L. A. Worthington and John Yodak, 'two riding Excelsiors, and two Indians. When given the bell by Starter R. L. Kimball, Burdick got a good start and took: the lead and maintained it throughout by his ex- cellent riding. Yodak followed him and showed much nerve in his riding, but he was unable to gain, and it looked as if Pendleton would pass him at one time, but he managed to keep ip stcond piace ~Pendleton finished third and Worthington fourth, being one-half mile behind. The time for the five miles was 7 minutes and 47 seconds. Burdick rode the. macHine owned by Norman Kimball. Burdick demonstrated that he is the best rider here and that it is a —atter of riding which counts, as all the ma- chines on Tuesday were of the same horsepower. He makes the best of every opportunity and is able to ne- gotiate the corners with little loss of speed. High Dive An added attraction from Monday was the high dive by C. A. Bigney. who dove headfirst from the 60-foot ladder top into a tank of water about six feet deep. It was a thrilling act, but he had the nerve and made a very pretty dive. Perched at the ladder top with ‘a rubber cap about his head, he slowly allowed himself to tip forward and descend into_the tank, from which he emerged wet but smiling. It was a brief act but a nerve rackine one, which brought out rounds of applause. Stage Performance. The stage performance on Tuesday was a repetition of Monday, but it was cleverly dome and every number delighted the crowd, there being fre- quent bursts of applause and laughter. Tt is a bill arranged with the idea of pleasing, and the artists certainly are | successful. At the conclusion of the high dive a boy named Disco started to run acress the race track just as horses were scoring in the final heat of the 230 class and ran into the sulky of Aquarose. He was knocked down but escaped without injury. In the grandstand on Tuesday Miss Pierson, representing the State Suf- fragette association, talked to the crowd for about 15 minutes before the track events and distributed tgacts fa- voring her cause. She was applauded at the close. MORE CATTLE ARRIVE. Herds of A. F. Reed and G. H. Morgan Among the Late Arrivals. Among the cattle at the fair Mon- day not mentioned previously were the two following lots I E. Browning s here for the first time with Avrshires, bringing a herd of 10 from his Montville farm.

The team entry was by Fred Pierce, Horses. To the lovers of horseflesh the seven shown by E. Waterman of Bozrahville elicited plenty of praise, in which his standard_bred and registered brown stallion, Woodland Chief, 2.19 1-4, at- tracted’ a big share. Two mares he showed were likewise steeds of class, the first a four year old bay by Allie: wood, 2.09, dam by Alcantara, and the second a three vear old brown mare by Woodland Chief, dam by Daredevil, .03, Two pretty and promising suck- ing colts were also among his blooded stock, the first by Cochato, with a three year old record of 2.11 1-4, dam by Alcantara. Cochato sold last spring for $21,000. The other sucking colt is by Woodland Chief, dam Lady Clare, 221, by Daredevil, 2.09. Sheep and Goats. Close to the main entrance are the pens for sheep and goats, a spot which attracted much attention, as there was an interesting variety of the woolly creatures. Among these particular ad- miration was excited by one or two rams with their handsomely curved horns, while several Angora goats in their_silky_looking coats and widely branching horns were equal objects of interest. James B. Palmer had 65 sheep from his Round Hill farm in Lisbon, including Persians, Hampshire- downs, Shropshires, Southdowns, Dor- sets and Welsh Mountain breeds. He had also 13 Angora goats of all sizes. C. B. Davis of Franklin made a dis- play of Shropshires, a flock of eight altogether, including vearling ram, ram lamb, two two vear ewes, two yearlings and two lambs. Swine. At intervals around the grounds a wagonload of grunting porkers mizht Dbe found, boars, sows, and sows with litters. J. B. Palmer had 42 hogs on exhibition, and G. A. Kahn of Yantic showed O. I C. White and also a pair of curious looking belted Hampshire hogs. IN THE POULTRY ROOM.

As is to be expected, the chickens are the major portion of the feathered congress, with 120 coops in which are the standar d known breeds, from the diminuti bantams to the lordly and colossal Co- chins and black Langshans, Among the unusual breeds to attract the cu- riosity of ihe passer-by are several specimens of the frizzled fowl, blue Andalusians, and black and white Lakenselden. One coop of downy white Wyandotte chicks, a brood of six _tiny Minorcas, another lively family of ten Rhode Island reds, and another coop of nine healthy brown Leghorn chicks Zot a lot of attention from all the visitors.
