“Mary, Morris and Philip, 11 Months ;PUTHAM TRIPLETS FOR BABY SHOW { BERMAN TRIPLETS OF PUTNAM 4 Old. Children of Mr. and Mrs, Berman. ~ N . Bouncing Berman Babies Entered—Norwich People Make | 1 | \ i " % The 1914 baby show, held at the Norwich fair grounds Tuesday, Sept. ’$, the second day of the fair, will by ifar eclipse the baby show of last year; {gvhich was the first attempt of its pro- oter, R. C. Plaut, and, in fact, the ifirst baby show ever held in this sec- on of the state. . '§ Not satisfied with the healthy show- g of last year, the committee are out trong for 500 fat, healthy youngsters his time, and by all indications they vill get them, too, judging by the way plications are pouring in. Triplets from Putnam, two bouncing oys and a girl, will be the star at- action. Not many people have had e opportunity of seeing real live baby triplets, but this 11 month old trio comes all the way from Putnam to se- cure the prize at the baby show. This first entry of triplets are the three children shown in the accom- panying cut, Mary, Morris and Philip Berman, whose parents. Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Berman of No. 27 Chapel street, Putnam, have already proudly enter- ed_the babies for the show. The babies will be divided into two divisions, one for the white babies and ‘one for the colored ones. Aside from the regular classes for the finest baby (of its age, there will be the separate iglasses for the fattest baby, smallest ‘baby, best natured baby, best red-hair~ baby, and, of course, the twins. The prizes will, as last year, be do- ted by the generous business men of doll, who will give a bright :$5:gald; {Miece to the finest, fattest colored baby. fr. Tingley offers a $2.50 gold piece to ch of the triplets, and says he wishes ere were more like them. Dwight derwood, the pleasant cashier of the TUhncas National bank, comes. across. With another $5 gold piece, which is alko the amount of The Bulletin com- Pany’s prize. Schwartz.Brothers will donate a baby crib, and Mr. Reeves of ithe Sperry-Hutchinson company gives two $5 stamp books. Mr. Plaut, as last Year, will give a handsome silver cup, suitably inscribed. Other prizes are coming in, and by the end of the week the list will be complete. . Special arrangements will be made is year for the convenience and com- fort of the bables and their mothers. The big baby show tent will be divided off into classes, and there will be no jostling or crowding to make the little ones fretty and tired. Entries will be made with the Baby Show Manager, care of The Plaut-Cad- den Co., 144 Main street. In every department of the fair this year there is activity. The time is short, an deverything must ba done in a’little “more~than a week Aldgrman, Fred J.- West-of -New Lon- don .will be the starter for the races.

He” is widely known among the horsemen of Connecticut, and he has lately been licensed by the National Trotting association. ‘The races this year are botind to be good. The 217 in particular will bring out some fast steppers, and that, like the 2.20 and free-forqall, is 4 $400 race. There are several hérses quartered at the track already. Among My. Greenman’'s - and Mr. Plaut’s callers yesterday was Griswold H. Morgan of Salem, the man who wants and expects to get 100 yoke .of oxen for the middle day of the fair, and has assurances that the 100 yoke would be there. Not all the ox-owners in the 21 towns of the county have yet been canvassed but he will take a motor #gip two davs mext week, 100k~ ing for oxen. THe night fair atfracts a great deal of attention. The 13 night fair was an experiment, but the profit on the innovation was handsome. The fire- works will be better, if anything, than the fireworks of last year,and there will be a deal of vaudeville at night, end the band will play to the finish. All in all,; everything points to a fair this year that the whole Eastern Con- necticut countryside can remember.

The silver loving cup which was won Dby the baseball team of the New Lon- don Business Men's association at_the annual outing of the Eastern Con- necticut Business Men's association in Storrs in July arrived in New London Friday. The cup is the gift of J. (. Tracy of Willimantic to the championship ball team of the Eastern Connecticut asso- ciation. This is the first year for which the cup was contested, and New London won in a hard fought game with the Willimantic team by the score of 11-10, winning out in the last inning. The cup is nine and a half inches high amd is cast on beautiful lines. On one side is an embossed design of two crossed bats, a glove, a mask and two baseballs. On the other side is in- scribed New London, 1914. The cup is to be the property of the association winning it three times in succession. It stands on an ebony base. COMM-ISSIDN_ER LANPHERE » NOT ‘A CANDIDATE Announces He ls Not Out For Sheriff Nomination. § County Commissioner A. H.

He admitted, however, that in many re- spects the office of county sheriff is a desirable one and should the conven- tion see fit to nominate him without effort on his part he would.most cer- tainly accept the nomiation.
