An old woman who was for many years employed in a local hotel has been accused of theft and discharged. She declares her innocence, feels keen- Iy the accusation, as all through her long life she says her aim was to have irreproachable character, and she proposed to prosecute the accuser. The aged woman made complaint to the police, but civil rather than criminal actlon was suggested, through she was advised to let the matter drop and not spend her hard earned money in litigation, especially as those who knew her best took no stock in the ill-advised accusation.

(Specfal to The Bulletin.) Brooklyn, Sept. 26.—Beautiful weath- er Thursday favored the closing day of Brooklyn fair. The old rule that the last day is not the big day but the best day to see a fair in comfort held good. The crowd did not begin to come in in any number until near the noon hour. Those who did get in be- fore that time found the exhibition of entries in the horse classes of inter- est and had a favorable opportunity to look over the displays in the exhibition buildings without being crowded, as was the case all day Wednesday. First Premium to Plainfield Grange. All day long entries in various de- partments were under inspection and much that missed the eye in the crush of the day before stood out conspicu- ously in the calmer and less hurried hours of Thursday. Many who thought they saw all the fair on the first big day were surprised to dis- cover how much they had missed. There was a chance, for instance, to look over more carefully the excellent displays by the granges, for which first premium was awarded to Plain- fleld grange and second premium to Canterbury grange. A Wilson Squash. And then-there was that famous squash from Canterbury, where early in the summer some agricultural ge- nius, giving free rein and unlimited vision to his perception of events, in- scribed “Vote for Wilson” on the side of the vegetable, which when raised and placed ion exhibition carried the motto grown into its side and con- veyed to some the impression that na- ture is on the side of the democrats this year, though nature is still pur- suing its same old impartial ways. Cattle Taken Away Too Early. Those who ampled down to see the fine display ©of cattle that they had been advised was at the fair were dis- appointed Thursday, for the cows and cowetwms and bulls and bullettes had been escorted to their homes during the previous evening. The wish was expressed by many that it might be made possible to keep the cattle en- tries at the fair for two days, so that all who come might have a chance to see the whole and complete exhibi- tion. Result of Straw Vote. Strolling through the fair grounds one héard much of politics as men from here, there and everywhere con- gregaied and discussed matters of current interest. With political inter- est sovpronounced decision was made to make for The Bulletin a poll of 100 men—the first 100 encountered In a walk through the fair grounds, with a view of getting an axpression of their preference for president as they would express it at the November election. No attempt was made to pick men known to the enumwerator. Citizens representing about every town in Windham county were approached, as were men from other sections of Con- necticut and from other states. The poll taken includes men who were sell- ing soda, others who rested comfort- ably in luxuriously upholstered touring cars or were rubbing down trotters’ ankles in the racing stables, business men, jockeys, fair officials, fakirs, band members, farmers, laborers and fol- lowers of many other callings were included, and they were taken as they happened to come. Nineteen of the 100 approached would not declare thelr preference, this being an average of about one out of five, though about equally divided in stating that they had not formed any preference, or, where they had, in not caring to express ft. Of the 100 solicited, 27 declared that they would vote for Taft, 45 that their ballots would be for Wilson, and 9 who said “Put me down as voting for Roosevelt.” No ome was urged to make a preferential statement—simply asked to do so. Several who an- nounced themselves for Wilson supple- mented the declaration with the com- ment that they hated to break away from old affiliations, hut had dectded to do so. A-maforily of the Tafl men felt that the president wus perfectiy | satisfaciory (o them as a successor to | himself. The Rousevell men declared themselves with progressive ginger. The Winning Ponles. But though politics was & general tople of discussion, the real purpose oi the fair was not overlookad by one.

Revenue from Automobiles. ‘When the hour for closing the gaies came Thursday night the fair officials were a tired group, but they had the satisfaction of knowing that thelr ef- forts had brought to Brooklyn one of the large fair crowds of the year and that the crowds had enjoyed a good time and incidentally left a fine pack- age of money in exchange for their entertainment. The automoblie proved to be a big source of revenue for the fair assoclation this year, as well as invaluable in getting the people to the grounds. Fifty cents was charged for each machine that came tarough the gates, and more of them came through than was ever the case before.
