And then the full force of the storm broke. With a swirling rush and a blinding eloud of dust a veritable cyelone swept over the grounds, just as the horses. coming down the home streich In the géc- ond heat of the 2.5 There was & mad rush for sheiter on the part of the 2,000 people around. the ‘yape track and on the midway. )4.1 of those in the andstand remained in their seats wun- Il the fury of the storm had spent itself put. Others found shelter in the poultry department, the main exhibition hall and in fact anywhere they could get in out of the gale and downpour. Women Were Terrified Terrorized and sobbing women, some with small bables in thelr arms and oth- ers with young nhlldrfi' hanging onto thelr skirts rushed madly. about in the erowd seeking escape from the choking dust cloud and the drenching rain. Spec- tacular flashes of lightning aecompanied by deafening crashes of thunder added to the general confusion. 1 Tents Fall Before Wind With the first rush of the gale which ssemed to come in waves a number of the concessfon tents met their waterloo. Gaudily dressed dolls, boxes of gandy and various other merchandise went clrcl- ing around on the ground which was fast becoming a gea of mud, while the tent coverings and light wooden stands went down in a confused heap. The heavy tent covering over the merry go-round was torn off and cast down on the horses, some of which were lft standing on. their heads by the furlous gale. The New London County Farm Bu- Teau tent, ome_of the largest on the grounds, the tents which house the farm machinery exhibits, the several dining tents, the athletlc show tent, and others collapsed, leaving. the contents open. to the rain and hafl which did its utmost to complete the wreck.

Fortunately no one hap- pened to be standing in the path of the machine when it toppled over. The midway presented a sorry appear- ance after the storm had blown over. Na matter which way one looked there was nothing but wreckage. One man who had a concession at the grounds sald that in the 25 years that he has been following. fairs he never experienced anything quite 33 bad as Wednesday's storm. Autos Stalled in Mud and Water A number of touring cars, large and small and a half dozen or more trucks were stalled on the grounds after the storm. In some cases the rain had got into the coils, making it impossible to art the engines and in others machines were mired almost to the hubcaps in the thick yellow mud. Most of the machines had to be towed from the grounds. Oné machine, a Ford, owned by John E. Slavin of Holyoke, Mass., was maroon- ed in a pond 20 feet wide and eight or ten inches deep. The driver waded Into the water and tried to crank the engine, but It refused to start. A rope wag then hitched onto the balky machine and it was pulled out of the pond. Track Under Water A truck loaded with machinery sank to the hub in mud, and planks and had to be brought into use. ~After the storm there was a foot of water on the ace track In front of the two grand- stands. During the helght of the storm, Abe Siegal and Roy Walker, two local men who had a refreshment stand on the grounds, served coffee free to a number of the women and chiliren Wwho were drenched by the rain. Mr. Slegal's stand fared no better than the rest for it was almost totally destroyed. One of the few stands that escaped with but slight damage was the honey sandwich stand conducted by Allen Lath- am of Norwich Town. Mr. Latham's stand weathered the storm In excellent shape and he was the only man on the midway who was still open for business after the big blow. The farm machinery exhibits suffered considerable damage. The canvass went down on top of the machinery and the ground on which the machinery stood wa: fooded to a depth of half a foot or_more, The water in the vicinity of the merry- go-round was so deep that it almost reached the fire box in the steam engine Which supplied power for the hoppy hors- es. While the storm resulted in serious loss- s In a number of Ingtances, it wad its humorous side. After the excitement had died down somewhat, one of the men who had a “lucky number” concession stand in the vicinity of the motardame was seen industriously poking here and thers in the water and mud covered wreckage of what was once his place of business. It developed that he was fishing. for dimes, nickels and quarfers that were spilled out of the cash box when his place of business suddenly collapsed. Another man with his trousers rolled up above his knees was seen wading about in his barefeet salvaging what ho could from the ruins of his stand. ‘When the blow broke loose a number of toy ballaons which were evidently desert- ed by their youthful owners made a rapid and lofty exit from the grounds. When last seen some of them were well on their way to New London. Storm Cyt Racing Short. The colt race was the only one of. the four events on the race card which went through to a finish as the storm put a sudden stop {0 the Tacing at the end of the second heat of the 2.25 pace.
