Fifty-five dollars was the amount realized, which was most encour- aging to the class and others interested, as the supper was arranzed for the bene- fit of the church repair fund. = to the recent sale by the Junior Endeavor scclety of the First Con- “CORNS” Lift Right Off Without Pain on: Front street. pringfield is visiting J Doesn't hurx ‘a bit!

Following a concery programme by Tubbs’ Military Band from 1 to 2 o'- clock, six high class vaudeville acts, se-1| cured by Secretary Gilbert S.

In addi- tion to these acts there Were several ex- cellently rendered tenor solos by Ed- ward T. Connelly, the well known and popular Norwich singer. In each of his solos, Mr. Connelly was accompanied by the band and he sang through a mega- phone. The Concert Programme. Mr. Connelly’s selections were Ernest Ball's hit, Let the Rest of the World , the big Irish novelty, A Typical Tipperary, Daddy, and Chauncey Ol- big hit, When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. The concert programme by Tubbs' band was as follows: Elks' Parade March, Orphans’ Overture, Solos, Edward T. Connelly Take It From Me, Anderson Popular Hits—Who'll Take the Place of Mary, When a Peach in Georgia Weds a Rose From Alabama, etc. isVicus of Paradise, Bennett Biss and Hamel were the first artists on the free vuadeville programme. They proved themselves acrobats of exoep- tional ability and won' well merited ap- plause from the big audience. Next came Jack and Kitty DeMarco aerialists. Like the first artists Jack and Kitty delighted the audience with their numerous fancy stunts. The Man Bros, presented a unique tight rope walking act. They did all kinds of stunts on the rope, from tumb- ling to turning somersaults. At one time both were performing on the rope at the same time. Theirs was one of the fea- ture acts of the free vaudeville pro- gramme. Revolving Ladder Act. Another act that made a hit with the huge audience was the revolving ladder act presented by the Dennis Bros. To say they are experts is putting it mild- ly. They did a number of very difficult stunts while the ladder was revolving rapidly and it almost made one dizzy to_wateh them. The Australian stock whip and rope- spinning act presented by The Carlisles, a man and woman, in western costume, was_another winner. Both are experts in their line.w Later in the afternoon Mr. Carlisle gave a lassooing exhibition in front of the grandstand. He lassoed a running pony about the sneck and around all four legs several times and completed his act with a rope-spinning number. Goble | Offenbach Ride Against Death. The big thrill of the afternoon came when Daredevil Ulliven took his aerial ride against death. Holding in his teeth a leather strap attached to a pullew on ! a long wire suspended from a platform high above the grandstand, and down across the race track, Dare Devil Ulli- ven slid to the ground while the big crowd held its breath.

The Balloon Ascension. The balloon ascension occurred just before the final heat - of the 2.30 trot, which was the last race of the day. Prof. Harold Cates, who made the thrill- ing balloon ascension a year ago at the fair, is again on the job. He made a clean get-away, but as the big balloon did not go up into the heavens quite high enough he did not attempt a tri- ple parachute drop, making a double parachute drop instead. There was but very little wind and both Prof. Cates. and the balloon landed in a lot not far from the fair grounds. ! Appeal For Near East. During the afternoon S. Crouch of Hartford, through the courtesy of the fair officials, made a three minute ap- peal from the vaudeville stand, for con- tributions to the Near East Relief Fund. | Mr. Crouch who is a representative of the Connecticut committee of the Near East Relief committee, told in a graphic manner of a few of the horrors of that strife-stricken land of bloodshed, When Herbert Hoover was in Europe | he described the situation in the Near East as most desperate since the sign. ing of the armistice, s%id Mr. Crouagh, who has, himself, put in some time in that unfortwhate corner of the globe. He said that the Near Bast Relief committee is trying to care for 125,000 orphans who have barely existed during the past six years, and it was in,their behalf that he made the appeal. At the close of Mr. Crouch’s appeal boy and girl scouts passed among the crowds, taking up contributions, the to- tal amounting to about $90. There will be am aded attraction at the fair this (Tuesday) afternoon in the shape of a parachute drop from an ae- roplane by Prof. Harcld D. Cates, the balloonist. This parachute drop will be an extra on the part of Prof. Cates as he will make his triple parachute drop frmothe balloon at 5 p. m., as usual. After .he- cuts loose from the balloon and lands. he will load his parachute on the aeroplane which will follow him to his landing place, and when the aero- plane is about 1,000 fdt above the fair- grounde, in view of everybody at the fair, he will make another parachute drop landing on the fair grounds. After his parachute drop from the ae- roplane, the machine, which will be op- SILAGE, CORN Among six leading farm commoditigs silage, corn and potatoes were the three best crops raised in New London county by Leonard H.
