The attendance was_perhaps more (han half as large as on the opening day, which, be- ing Labor Day, gave almost every- body opportunity to attend, and they tooly advantage of the opportunity in large numbers. The Central Labor Union was also a factor in getting the big crowd to the fair, the membets seliing over Nve thousand admission tickets. gnd_deriviig a commission thereby. - While the crowd was not as large it was fully. as good-natured #s on the opening day, and there was little, if any, reason for dissatisfac- tion with the managément. Weather- wise the day was ideal and otherwise the fair- was .practically along _the same lines as on the day . before. The mfdway was imild in comparison with some that prevail at other fairs, and the objectional features did mot predominate. The crowd of Tues- day showed considerable interest in the fine cattie .exhibit, and the fine herd of Devons ‘owned by G. H. Mor- #an of Salem, was not overlooked, al- though located to the right of the en- trance and away from the rest of the blooded herds. The vaudeville acts were changed and improved sdme- what, the same artists appearing, and was satisfying to the spectators. = Parade of Horses. In the afternoon three of the famous horses that are enteréd for the free- for-all event of this afternoon, were paraded before the grand stand, and ilicited interest, as they are classed among the very best that have been on the race tracks the present as well as past seasons. The gray horse, Earle, Jr, with a record of 2.01 1-2 on a mile track, and the winner of more than $30,000 for its owner in the past ten years, also, the bay horse, B. M., winner of many notable races, with a half-mile track record for a mile of 2.07 1-4, and the chestnut mare, Ideal Lady, with a like record. Cavalcade of Cattle. In the afternoon there was a grand cavalcade of -some of the blooded stock exhibited at the fair, and they were paraded in this order, headed by the prize-winning walking ‘axen from Round Hill Farm and owned by John B.

As there had been no interference by the other drivers, Starter Merrill decided the horse was distanced. He was not required to enter judgment. however, for soon thereafter Driver Kelley call- ed at the judges’ stand and said he claimed no place, and would never drive that horse in a race again, as there was danger of breaking a leg of the driver, and the horse’s neck.

WILL VETO AGTION | . ON GROTON FERRY. New Lendon Council Votes Cadiias The questioil of whethér thé city of New_London should operale the Gro- ton FeFry or the right should be leas- éd 'to the Thames Ferry Co. as in previoys years, came before the com- mon couneil in that city Tudsday ev- || ening. THers has beer matich aiss satisfaction in New London in re- gard to the way the ferry has been op- érated during the past vear and the only solution that pressntedfitselt was that the city operate thé At the council ‘meeting the o mittee recommended that the city take dp the work of operating (hé ferry but this recomméndation when put to a vote was deféated by a vote of 9 to 6. After the meeting Mayor = Rokeér: Wwho is strongly in -favor of munici- Pal operation of the lne said that he will veto the action taken by the Council as he thinks it' wauld be for the betterment of the city to have the ferry operated by the city. When the dction is vetoed it will pring the mat- ter up again for consideration in about a month and will give time for the members of the council to think the matter over seriously. There is considerable _interesting history connected with . the lease of the ferry by the company which has conducted it for the score of years Just passed. When the lease was originally made for the first ten vears the rental was. $2.750 _per annum. After- the lease had run about six years the FEastern Ship Building com- pany estabiished its plant on the old shore line .raliro property in Sroton, employing about 2,000 men in the constgiction of the big Btenmers Minnesota” and Dakota. Tt was foiind that the running of one ferry hoat was inadequate to carry traffic which #nsued, so the Thames Ferry coni- pany agreed to put on a secqad Terry boat and run the same from the Groton shore to the sterh Siiin Bul'ding company plant, continionsly to the end of the lease, and. fh andi- tion. pay $4,000 a yéar and 1 per eont of it Annial ross receints. if the city Wwould agree to estend its lease another ten years. Before the second lease was con- summhAted there was considerabls on- position over {he granting of the ex- tension, but the cpmmittes of the common council. which had the mnt- fer in charge. finally voted to give the Thames Ferry company the addi- tional lease of ten years for the price stated after a_lengthy session and on the ground that thers was 1o other regular bidder. A few years later, &fter the comnletion of = _tha two hiz steamships. the Eastern Shin Bullding company hecAme a part of the Fedefal Ship Building company, and upon fafture of the lattér con- cern the plant in Groton fel] Ints disuse, was Anallv - dismantled and the machinery rold. With the sue- pension of wark at fhe ship vard fheré was no longer usé for a second terry ‘and the Ilatter was discon- tinued. : In making these changes the buv- inx of the second ferrv hoat and the building of approach and floats was heavy draft Upon the resources of the "Thames Ferrv comnany. It was currently reported at the time that the company had sunk over $100,000 in fts efforts to taks care of the tem- porarily ~increased traffic by main- taining @ second ferry boat. Wvi- dentlv thers was not much profit in the ferry business for a number of vears, but the alverit of automo- hiles ‘and thé automobilé tourist and the increased population of the, towns Across the river has lprgely indreased the traffic bver the ferry. For sev- eral vears. during Sumimer season es- pecially, theré hfis heen as rinich traf- fiva over the ferry as it could possibly handle. making three trips an hour, frequently earrving elghteen Auto- mobiles on the ‘trip. At the present time " one ferry hoat during certain periods ef the day is utterly inade- quate to accommodate the large num- ber of aulomobiles which desire to cross the river, and fregently there are twenty-five to fifty machines waltlng to get passage. Whatever losses the ferry company sustained duripg the lean vears have been fully made tp by the recent fat ones. There fs a very strong feeling on the part of the citizens of both New ndon and Groton that after the.ex- piratipn of the present lease the ferry should be_ operated by the clty of New Loidon §or the benefit of the people of both communities. The ad- vbeates of city operation belleve that for a number of years at least the clty could give the very best of serv- making some reduction in rates of riage and still show a handsome profit, which could he applied to pay- ong off the cost of taking over tpe ferry plant. There Is a good reason to , believe that even with a high- way bridge in use the ferry would continue to receive a paying patron- age. The present recelpts of the ferry are in the neighborhood qf $75,000 a vear and it is a very general belief that the cost of operation is less than half {hat amqunt. The present lessees "of the ferry have applied for Soldier Was Fined. Stanley Greene, a Soldier at Niantie, was before Judge Coit in the New London poiice court Tuesday morning on the charge of recklessly operating an automobile.
