Stafford Springs, Oct. 11.—The Staf- ford iair association is surely in right with the weather man this yveax. He ‘has ‘handed out two of the mos¢ beauti- ful days that the association has ever enjoyed. The air was just balmy enough Wednesday morning to make one feel good, and as the success of | such an ontdoor event as the Stafford fair depends in no small measure up- on the weather, the association has muech to be thankful for. The foliage on the surrounding hills is just tinted enough to give a delightful coloring, and made an excellent setting for the | big show as the throngs moved about on the grounds Wednesday morning. | This was the real big day of the fair. A General Holiday. The mills, stores, schools and all business places were closed and it was a general holiday locally. Special trains laden with human freight rolled into town from the north and south, and extra cars were run on the trolle line at frequent intervals. The train however, did not bring as many peo- ple, since the advent of the automo- bile, as many now come by the latter conveyvance. There are still many, howey who come as in form days, in the old-fashioned wagons, and a glance at the long procession on its way to TFolland eounty’s big show in- dicated that about every possible means of convevance excepting the ing machine was brought into service to get people to the fair.

Johu Adams wrote of them: - The congress is such an assembly as never ‘before came together, on a sudden, in any part of the werld. Here are for- tunes, gbilities, learning, eloguence, and acuteness equal to any I ever met with in my life. Aithough greatly diversified, the cry was “Union and liberty.” The ob- ject aimed at by this congress, and especially by Massachusetts and Vir- ginia, was to obtain a redress of griev- nces znd to restore harmony between Great Britain and America. Randelph President. Peyton Randolph was chosen presi- dent and Charles Thomson of Phila- delphia. not a member, Secretary. It was agreed that each colony should have one vote. A committee was ap- point=d te state the rights of the colo- nies, when they had been violated, and hew to restore them. Another com- { mittee was appointed to look into the statutes affecting the trade and man- ufactaring of the colonies. Opened With Prayer. There was some objection to opening the sessions with prayer, grounded on the various religious sentiments among the members, but Samuel Adams moved that Reyv. Jacob Duche, an Episcopalian, might open the congress with prayer, which_he did. That eve- ning word was received that the Brit- ish gships . were bombarding Boston, and lhere was deep anxiety. Business of the Congress. September 14, an admirable series of resolves passed by the people of Middlesex county, were laid before congress, but no action was taken. September 17, other resolves came from Suffolk county, and both re- solves were p inted. tember 28, Galloway introduced a plan that was intended t operpetii- ate the dependence of the colonies on England, hut the members viewed it with so much disgust, that it was or- dered erased from the journal. October 14, the members agreed up- on a iteclaration of Rights. 1—To en- ter into a nen-importation, non-con- sumption, and non-exportable associa- tion. To prepare an address to the people of Great Britain, and a memo- rial to the inhabitants of British Am- erica. 3—To, prepare a loyal address to his majesty, The association was signed October 20 by 52 members. There were 14 articles forming rules pertaining to the first article. The sig- naturc of the association by the mem- hers of congress may he considered as the commencement of lhe American union. Cammittees Numed. October 11, Richard Henry Lee, Will- iam Livingstcne and John Jay were appointed to prepare the memorial and an ad:dress to the people of Great Brit- ain. Lee prepared the memorial and Jay the address and they were ap- proved October 21. October 1 Richard Henry Lee, John Adams, Thomas John- son, Patrick Henry and Mr. Rutledge were appointed to prepare a loyal pe- tition to the king. Two copies of this petition were signed by all the mem- bers, and ordered sent to the colonial agents in London.
