The Norwich firm gave away hundreds of pieces of sheet music as souvenirs. Women's Department. This department is as attractive as ever for the women who attend the fair, though a man is seldom seen looking at the beautiful digplay of the art of the needleworker, unless do- ing so under protest and in the agony of attempting to keep cigar smoke out of more appreciative eyes. Aside from the fixed and set dis- plays there was much to interest on Wednesday. One could spend an in- teresting hour listening to the bark- ers, watching the demonstrations of gasoline engines and farm machinery, or pbserving the steer and oxen com- petition.

Following the formal greeting, At- torney Willlam A. King of Williman- tic, republican candidate for election to congress from the Second district | of Connecticut, agreed to say a few words, He was escorted into the crowded grandstand and introduced by the secretary of the fair associa- tion, J. B. Stetson of Brooklyn. Following the formal greeting At- torney King said: “Not a single word about polities, Not a word about farming. What I know about farm- won't tell about it free of charge. (Mr, King bought a farm once). I came over herg for an outing today and I am having a splendid time, I hope to continue to have a splendid time until November, at least. I am myself thoroughly, “I find evidence all about me to in- dicate why Connecticut has bhecome known for its thrift, and the point of this is well illustrated by the little story of the Connecticut man who was bearing the fact in on a Virgin- fan whom he met. ‘Meaning thrift, | you go & little beyond that, do you not?' inquired the Virginian, with ref- erence to the manufacture of wooden nutmegs. ‘Yes,’ sald the Connecticut man, ‘Wwe make them In Connecticut and sell them in Virginia.' " Mr. King patd his compliments to the many ladies in the stand, getting | their good will, smiles and applause, | when he told one or two clever little stories concerning the sex and men- tioned that he had recently read a book entitled “How to Be Happy, Though Married," declaring “that the book was no good. “But, in all sincerity,” sald Attorney King, “deep in severy New England heart is the love of home—that love that makes the poorest cottage the palace of the king; makes New Eng- land great as it really is.” The gpeaker's reference to Gen. Is- rael Putnam, whose monument on the geen at Brooklyn recalled to Mr, ing's lips the best known sayings of the famous patriot, brought ap- plause from his auditors, who seemed very anxious for him to continue his pleasing oratory.. But Mr, King said: “l ought to stop before I say too much. I am reminded of the story of the young man who was out driving with his sweetheart. ‘Will you marry me, Hulda? he sald. And like girls sometimes do, Hulda said ‘Yes’ Then they drove on for two or three miles in silence. ‘Aren't you going to say any more? asked Hilda, after what seemed a very long time. ‘I guess I better not,’ replied the sawain, ‘I may have said too blamed much already!’” A storm of applause and laughter was brought forth by the little story, but though the crowd was anxious for more, Mr. King bowed his way out of the stand and resumed his pleasant oocupation of greeting and being greeted as he strolled about the rounds. He left the impression that e is making a mighty strong cam- paigner ang that he is certain to roll up a heavy vote in this county—his cordial receptions indicate that, The Races. The races carded for the afternoon proved entertaining for many, though the speed was not excessive. The re- ‘sults of the events follow: Entries in 2.38 class: 1 br. g. . : Geor'o D.
