Mat- thews and Sergeant John H. Kane in charge. The crowd on the grounds was orderly and well behaved, so that there was no call for any police help quell disturbances, but the force gave valuable aid in handling the crowd and directing the lines of traffic keeping safety zones around the track at the time of the racing. Those who were on duty besides the sergeants were Policemen Charles Eb- berts, Henry Fenton, Matthew De- laney, Bimer Allen, 'Barney Keenan, Peter Driscoll, Ralph Divito and Dom- inick Quinn.

President C. F, Smith of New Haven presiding. - The brewery workers, bar- tanders and cigarmakers from the nu- cleus of the Jeague and practically all the trade unions are affijiated. It is an_organization for the vrotection of license. One of the argumeénts of the league is that if liquor goes out Sevs eral thousands of men will be thrown out of work thus increasing labor com- petition. At the convention Organizer John Riley of Danbury made a reportwhich indicated an increase of membership in the various locals of the league. It was voted that coples of President Smith’s address be mailed-to Presiden’ Wilson, members of' eongress and members of the next general assembly. In the course of his address President: Smiith said: “A prohibition amendment has been passed by congress to the comstitution and submitted to the legislaturcs of the different states for ratification -or rejection. All honest mief are agreed that it is a political movemett, in passing this prohibition. amendmen. The’ adoption of such an- amendment without giving the people ‘the oppor- tunity of passing judgment on it, es- pecially in view of the fact that it is apparent that it is such an invasion of the personal liberty of the people, is perniclous and mischievous.” George F. Mordecai, president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, of New Haven, delivered an address in which he endorsed the effort of the ledgue to prevent a surplus competi- tion in the' labotr market by opposing prohibition_legisiation. ; Patrick F. O'Meara of New Haven, who' will “probably be “elccted nest president of tite Conneéticit Federd- tion of Labor, ‘galled attention to the fact that the city court record of New Haven shows ° fewer ~arrests for drunkenness the past vear for forty years. He' said ‘that {t was signisi- cant of the fact that prohihition is not necessary to promote teraperas The league passed amendments to the _constitution relating to assess- ments of organizations affilinted with it afd membership fees of individuals with a view to ecreating a fund (o méet the expenses incident o opposi- tion o prohibition legislation. The executive. coundil was directed to prepare a plan by which fraternal organizations .can affiliate with local branches of the trades union league of Connecticut. On ‘the motion of Delegate Carl Lang of Bridgeport ‘the executive council was instructed in the event of congress passing a wartime fro- hibition Bill to telesrapn President ‘Wilson asking him to veto it A resolution was passel. providing that all members” of organized labor shall consider the interests of the workers éngaged in the liquor_ indue- try on the question of prohibition when casting their ballots on election. day, in accordance with a guarantee of the American Federation of Labor to protect the interests of all allicd organizatiéns. = Qfficers for the ensu- ing year were elected as foliows: President, Otto Schultze, Hartford; vice presidents, James J.

There were also. sev- eral dozen nice looking esgs among the exhibits. The number of birds entered this year is larger than it was either last year or the year before. Harry Main of Mystic is the largest exhibitor. - He shows _Polish fowl, game birds and silkies. The Gem Poultry Yards of Norwich have the second largest entry. Their entry in- cludes seven different breeds of Wy- andottes. An _exhibit which while small attracted much attention was tkat of Henry R. Bond, Jr, of New London. He showed three pair of pheasants, three pair of pigeons and a pair of wild ducks. The cavies were all entered by Nor- wich exhibitors. The owners of the animals entered are Willlam P, Carey, William A. Welles and Jjames Tour- telotte. There are eight rajr of gui- nea fowl entered, the largest exhibi- tor being the Gem Poultry Yard which has four pair. There is one pair-.of white guineas among the eight. Another coop which attracted com: siderable notice contained a white Cochin’ bantam hen with her ‘brood of chicks. A new breed made it ap- pearance at the fair this year in the form of the Rhode Island ~Whites. There were two coops entered by Wil- liam Fitzgerald and Frank Cumstone, both of New London. The Rhode Isiand Reds were as usual the most numerous, there beinz twenty-six pair of these popular’ birds entered. The barred rocks wefe sec- ond with twenty-two pair and the white Wyandoties ‘were third with fourteen pair. In the north wing of the hall were the aquatic fowl. There were the usual rumber of the comparatively common Indian Runnper and Emden geese. Birds that attracted attention how- ever, were_the Toulouse goose entered by H. Bufchman of this city and a pair of African geese entered by the Gem Poultry Yards, Both thése va- rieties are large gray birds and make a fine appearance. Eli_ Tender of Boswell avenue ex- hibitéd five White Mountain woolly Angora cats. The mother was of good size and handsome appearance. She was a year old. In the next pen were four kittens fourteen*weeks old. They | were * beautifully marked and thefr |long, silky fur attracted much com- jment. The judging of thie exhibits will be- gin this morning. Professor Kirkpat- irick of the Connecticut Agricultural College_wilj. be the judge, instead of W. 0. Rogers, who -is_unable to be at the fair this vear. This is the first “ear ‘since the organization of the roultry. department that ‘Mr. Rogers ,has not been judge of this depgrtment. SHIP & ENGINE CO. MAKES FARM EXHIBIT The New London Ship & Bngine Company at Groton which is - busily engaged in the manufacture of en- gines for submarines and_accessories filled two large tents With their ex- hibits. Their exhibits included ani- mals owned by the compuny, vegeta- bies raised by the help in their home gardens and photographs and mod- csl of the work being carried ont at the plant, As one entered the first tent on the right were five Chester White logs. About a. hundred of these ani- mals are kept at.the plant and are i fed on the refuse from the hotel which the company rung for its men. When the hogs are butchered the pork is sold fo the employes at cost. On the other side of the tért are two hand- some draft horses, in the same con- dition in_which they are when at the plant. Beside them are pens con- taining ive registered Shropshire sheep. The sheep are turned loose on the lawns and keep the grass down, thus saving the labor of men who can be employed on more essential work. There aré also two registered Hol- steins, valued at a thousand dollars each who are the nucleus of the herd to_be formed at the plant. Near the entrance to the second tént is the exhibit of wild and game birds entered by Harry M. Bond, the treasurer of the company. The breeds include wild geese, wild black ducks, fighting games, wild Canada geese, and white Emden geese. The geese are also kept by the company and are fed on the refuse which the hogs will not eat. Mr. Bond shows some non- bearded polish chicks and also shows old birds of tha same variety. The cock shown has taken numerous prizes both in this country and in England. These fowl ‘are very rare. There are also” three varieties of pheasants en- téred, including the showy red blue, gold and brown zolderi pheasant. There were also several pens of rdbbits and Belgian hares which are being.raised on the refuse not eaten by the other animals. They are es- pecially useful in disposing of the garden refuse. The rear tent is used to display the products .of the home gardens of the employes. There are two and twenty-five home gardens at the girls. Approximately ten per cent. of the employes have the gardens. The exhibits consisted of fine looking vege- tables, including Some large pump- king and squash raised by the girls. There are also many fine looking jars of canned goods. The cut flowers ex- hibit will not arrive until today. Sus- pended from’the roof of the tent was the service flag of the company which has only 256 stars with many more vet-to be added. There are two gold stars for men who' have died in the service. Against . the back wall of the tent was a ‘table ‘on which was a good sized model on. a submarine and rious knitted articles made by the women’employes of the plant in their dull hours. On the wall were pictures of several departments of the plant, Diesell oil burning engines made at the plant. The two awards made to the company at the San Francisco exhibition in 1915 were also exhibited. This is the first ttme that the com- pany has sent an exhibit to a fair but next year they will probably send out several. The shop is run by the gov- ernment and aside from accessories are making engines from 60 to 1000 horsepower. Tractor and Engines. The C. S. Mersick company of New. Haven had a large exhibit at the fair in charge of ¥. N. Glynne. They showed pumping machinery and all kinds of electric gasoline and kerosene engines.

The Sovernment loaneq the company a 6 horse-power I0osegas enzine of the type which is being used by the troops in France. It is the most powerful gas engine made in America. In connection with the Mersick ex- hibit was_the demonstration of the Cleveland tractors by L. W. Gatkin. The tractor which is of the type which furnished the idea for the tank per- formed. all kinds of stunts such as climbing, over timber until the base of the machine formed an angle of thirty degrees with the ground when tank fashion the tractor would flop over onto the ground. It went either forward or backward and went on all sorts of curves Wwith or without the driver. During the afternoon the trac- tor gave a demonstration of plowing and harrowing. - Delco Light. The Delco Light company had an exhibit -in charge ‘of Carl W. Brown in what formerly was the dining hall. They-had a complete lighting system installed and furnished power for sev- eral - lights along With power for vacuum cleaner and a fan. Two Paul water pumps in the same room were also operated-om the engine which way 1un. by storage batteries. HIGH CLASS CATTLE SHOW. THEIR POINTS “You see it's the war” said James B. Palmer of Lisbon; “as he glanced around at some of the empty stalls in the cattle sheds,” The farmers are be- hind in their work because they can’t get help and they can’t afford the .time td drive out a big exhibit for the fair_this, year. “It’s the ones close by that can get here. Griswold H. Morgan of Salem tells me he didn’t know how he'll get his herd of Devons home. His boy heped drive them out, but the boy has to go in the draft Wednesday and! there's no one in sight to help drive the cattle home, But you'll find quality even if not guantity though we have about 150 head of cattle on the | grounds_today. Mr. Palmer himself has his-old place at-the head of the row of cattle sheds, .where he shows a herd of fine red Guernseys from his Round Hill farm, every.one of the 35 bred by himeeif, except two.

Pigs and Sheep. The pig exhibit drew the attention of a larger number of people this year owing to the fact that during the past many pig clubs have been organized, among the children in the county.

James Lathrop, another hog raiser, show a number of registered Berk- shires and some White Chester stock. J. B.
