There was certainly a tgrong on the grounds, probably in excess of 5,000, and they jammed every point Jf vantage to witness the events on the programme. The crowd began to come early. By 11 o'clock there were more than three thousand on the grounds, and the lane leading to the entrance was packed solid with automobiles and vehicles of every description. No extraordinary attractions had been planned to bring out the big crowd, but the fair is uni- formly good and gets the people. This year proved no exception: to the rule. As bright a day as could be wished served to make everything and every- body agreeable. ¢ The Woodstock fair is not much dif- ferent this vear than it has been for years past—it is the same good, old- fashioned, thoroughly enjoyable and reliable country fair. The exhibits are a y d e L patrons for more than half a century and the opportunities for gocial inter- course and entertainment fully as good as ever. Exhibition Buildings. At Tuesday’s show about everyone spent the first hour or two in looking over the displays in the exhibition buildings and the entries in the live- stock and poultry departments. All of these were up to the standard. In exhibition hall, the Plaut-Cadden company of Norwich has, near the entrancs, a showing of Wasserman pianes and Wasserman player-pianos. Adelard Morin is in charge of the ex- hibit and Ellsworth Burton of Dan- ielson is the player demonstrator. | Sheet music was given away in quan- tities to the hundreds who Visited the section during the day and there were other souvenirs for those who came to the corner occupied by the Nor- wich firm. Chandler & Morse, Putnam, show a line of Sterling ranges and Herald heaters, their show getting continuous attenticr during the day. Ballard & Clark of Putnam show Glenwood ranges and heaters in their - firm as demonstrator. Peter A. Gardner, shoWing harness- es, and Alexander'’s store, showing Dorothy Dodd shoes, are other Putnam exhibitors. An_attractive display is that of By- ron D. Bugbee, Putnam, his section including a showing of the newest things in Beacon blankets and bath- robe blankets. This exhibition hall was crowded to capacity throughout the day; it was difficult to get through untii late in the afternoon. Fruit, Vegetables, Ete. In this building with the entries in the fruit, vegetable and culinary de- partments, the showing of fruit is ex- cellent and includes exhibits from many Woodstock people. The Connec- ticut agricultural college has the larg- est and finest collection of entries, for display, not in competition for awards. The college shows over eigh- ty plate of fruit,. including apples, pears, quinces, grapes, etc. Professor A. G. Gulley of the horticultural de- partment of the college, said in speak- ing of the apples, “I will give you the entire collection if you find a single | excess of the number in 1911. specimen showing scale or other de- fects.” Professor Gulley was judge of the fruit exhibits. Those who have Brunn, F. D. Bowen, Judson Sanger, C. H. Killam, John E. Clark, M. Rid- dick and C. E. Wilcox. H. B. Buell ang E. B, Griswold show a fine col- lection of varieties of the famous Woodstock peaches. The ladies found much to admire in the art, neediework and kindred displays in the exhibition hall, the entries this year being unusually fine and interesting. Italian Beet at Work. exhibit that caught and held P ar attention was that of the Laurel Hill aplary, John E. Clark of Woodstock. ~ Hives of Italian bees working under glass was a sight that was much of a novelty for the great majority that watched the industrious little things. In this exhibit was also a novel product—honey vinegar, a fluig having all the properties of the best cider vinegar, but not so muc; on account of prohibitive cost, a com- mercial article as the old original mentioned, Cattle and Poultry. The cattle display and the poultry show were Al exhibits this year. The cattle were housed under new heds, nearly every one avallable be- ing occupied by fine looking animals and the poultry were in the buildings always used for showing them. C. H. vage of the Connecticut agricultur- al college was judge of the cattle. G. P. Perley of Woodstock, in charge of tho poultry entries, and W. O. Rogers of Norwich, judge in this department, were both enthusiastic over the show. Mr. Perley said that the entries were close to 400 in number, and 100 in Mr. OPENING DAY OF WOODSTOCK FAIR Fully 5,000 on the Grounds—Surprise Visit From William A.

Of course, you do not ex- pect me to tell you about farming as a lawyer, but I bought a farm once myself. 'After seeing It, my wife de- clared that if I did not know more about law than I did about farms she could see the poorhouse ahead of us. “But I am enjoying myself here to- day.

I do not mean by this, however, that the girls run after the boys no more than the rat runs after the trap, but the | trap gathers them in just the same. “I have met New Englanders this morning—the people who have made New England what it is, and I will go_home knowing that I have had a perfectly good time.” This" sentiment, expressed near the close of his remarks, caught the strong New England qualities of this section and was roundly applauded, the cheer- ing being reneweq as Mr. King closed with the sally that he would stop be- fore he had sald a blamed sight too much.
