___....+..,+ A.._.._.
The County Fair.

The drear , discouraging, drizzleand rain
of the entire week, was enough to drive
President, Treasurer and Secretaries to des-
peration, and yet we are glad to learn that
despite an entire week of storm, the receipts
at the fair are nearly sufficient to meet all
expenses. Should any however, who have
been so fortunate as to win monied prizes
see fit to donate them to the society,itwill be
gratefully accepted and used for the best in-
terests of the Society.

The Exhibition in no department or par—
ticular could be called a failure. In most
of the departments the animals and articles
were really very superior. Indeed there
were scores of horses and cattle,
on our grounds, not commanding even a
mention, which at almost any other County
exhibition, would have commanded pre-
miums. We presume no county in the state
can approach ours in the excellence and
value of its horses and cattle. This is attrbi-
utahle doubtless, to the wealth and taste
flowing in upon us from New York City,
and the other fact that ours has not yet be-
come entirely a horse-racing show. Instance
the specimen animals exhibited by Morris
Ketchunl, M. E. Mead, Dr. Turner,
1’. T. Barnum, and perhaps others, and it
would be very difficult to surpass them from
the bestherds of England. We had speci-
men animals superior to any exhibited at
the New Englan'd Fair.-

The Horse department was well, and con-
sidering the weather, largely represented.
Several animals were exceedingly fine and
valuable. In the extra prc ss upon our col-
umns, made by the premium reports, we
cannot give that detail of notice we would
wish, but must refer the reader to the lists
themselves, not absolutely free from mis-
takcs and errors of judgements, it is true,
but ill the main, the best average evidences
of merit.

The vegetables under the tent, were higlly
meritorious in view of ‘the unfavorable sea-

son. The show of Flowers and. hot-house
plants have never been excelled here. The
same might truthfully be said ofthc samples
ofllot house grapes. J ohu Ryan the success-
ful gardener of Mr. Oliver Hoyt,of Stamford
tempted all eyes and palates by one bunch
of Black Hamburgs weighing plump fire
you 12:23, while a single 'bunch Of' another
monster white grape, the muscat, we be-
lieve weighed four pounds and ten ounces!
l-iis almost: endless variety of vegetables,
were also excee‘dingly fine. It is quite amus-
il 5;; to observe ill the Premium lists,how hotly
the competition ran between Ryan and Pc-
ter Guige, gardener to LeGrand Lockwood,
ill the line of‘ vegetables and flowers. Peter
had the advantage of locality and was thus
cnabléd to excel in plants and flowers. His
enormous Pine Apple was a decided novel-
ty, while his cut flowers were simply ravish-
ing. It is a cause of sincere regret that the
almost incessant raining prevented so many
of the women and dear children from the
enjoyment of the unusually fine floral (lis-
play. In mechanical and ladies '_industrial
matters, we deemed the fair deficient. The
Union 00., and Norwalk Mills had credita-
hie specimens of their production. The
same may emphatically be said of the Gil-

I

bertdr Bennett Mfg. Co., of Georgetownn

Their goods were novel and curious. The
same may be added of the Norwalk Iron

' \Vorks, &c., &c., Mr. E. C. Bissell made
good any deficiency from his mills by a su-
p 3rb collection of choice plants and flowers.
The inevitable Sewing machines were
there, and so was D’Artois and his “celebras
ed" Ice Cream. Whitney do Beckwith had

a creditable and really beautiful display of

pictures, particularly Of Chromos. In the
Art wherein they are themselves acknowl—
edged masters, their exhibition didnot equal
some. previous years. In view of the cxecra-
hie calmer, we 'will forgive them and all oth-
ers, for any deficiencies, while our own and
the Public’s gratitude and .commiseration
are extended t. call the managers from Pres-
ident to Gate Keeper and Lamp Lighter.

 

Horse Fair at Norwalk.

\l’e hear that the managers of the Fair-
field County Agricultural Society have un-
der consideration the holding of a Horse
Fair on the grounds of the society about the
first of November next, and \vc'trust that
they will conclude to do so, as we believe it
will draw out crowds of people and help the
Society to funds, so that they can erect be-
fore the next annual fair another building
which has become imperative, as the old
tent is utterly worthless for the protection of
articles placed under it. 'A suggestion has
been made that in connection with the
horse fair,a farnwr’s exchange, such as are,
and have long been in vogue in the old
world, be held at the same time, so that the
farmers wives and daughters can bring their
butter, cheese, honey and other articles of
their handy work, and the farmers their
horses, cattle, sheep, swine and samples of
grain, apples, potatoes and other vegetables,
and sell them on the ground. The suggest-
ion is a new one, but we believe it would‘be
a great success, and earnestly hope the idea
maybe carried out. The hall will accom-
modate all the articles that need be under
cover, while there are ample sheds for live
stock. We promise the farmers that if such
an arrangement is made there will be no
lack of customers for most of the articles
they offer for sale. Let us have the horse
fair alld farmers’ exchange.

 

Maine 20,404 Majority. \

A specialdispatch to the editor of the
Hartford Evening Post from Lewis B. Smith,
chairman of the Republican committee of
Cumberland county, Me, dated Portland,
September 24th, says:

The official vote of the state is, Chamber—
lain 75,835, Pillsbury 55,431. Whole num-
ber of votes cast,131-,266—thc largest ever
polled. Republican majority 20,404.

I‘—

@‘That “terrible” letter from Gen. Dix,
wherein he faithfully port-rays to his .fcllow
democrats the calamity involved in the pos-
silllcclcction of Horatio Seymour, was writ-
ten to John J . Cisco, another equally promi-
nent democrat, by whom it was given out
to the press. There are hundreds and thou-
sands of such democrats, with their property
ill banks and government bonds who will
vote and work fOr Grant: While tens of
thousands of poor men who have deposited
their few hard earned dollars in our savings
banks will do the same, to the end that all
values may not be destroyed and the credit
and business of- the country. ruined by the
election of Repudiatore.

l

The Town Elections.

The “ Little Town Meetings" are to be
held next Monday. Republicans look out
for thtu and see that; the enemy have no
“gains” to brag over, and no encouragement
from the result.

The Caucus in this town, for the nomina-
tion of officers is to be held at the club Room
011 Wednesday evening, after which there
will be a club meeting. Let the attendance
be large.

 

Boy’s in Blue.

A portion of the uniforms for' this Com-
pany has been received, and the Boys will
soon turn out for street drill and parade. Be
sure to attend the meeting to-night. _
W We understand that there is another
Company of the “Boys in Blue" being form-
ed up town here. .That’s gofid push on the
column.

 

 

The Blue Ball Tournament.
If the weather was unpropitious for the
Fair, it was still more unpropitious for the
Ball Tournament, and a poorer week for
playing of the National Game could not
have been selected. Arrangements were all
made,howevcr, and the Committee decided
to commence if it took all summer to play it
out.
Tuesday was unfavorable, but the Moni-
tor Club of Westport came over ready to
play the Suffolk Club of Huntington, accord-
ing to programme, at 2:30 P. M. The time
arrived, but the Suffolk boys (lid not appear,
and the game was given to the Monitors by
default.
The Suffolk Club subsequently accounted
to the Committee for their non-appearance
on the plea that one of their nine was unable
to come, and they were unwilling to tackle
their Connecticut friends without their full
nine. The Liberty boys filled out a nine,
however, and played a friendly game with
the Monitors‘fhat afternoon. '
The rain prevented any play on 'chnes-
day, and enforced changes in the pro-
gramme. On Thursday, at 3:45, a game
commenced between the Monitor Club, of
Westport, and the Bristol Club, of Bristol.
The Monitors were not in good practice,
and therefore had no hope of competing
successfully with their skillful opponents,
but did the best they could to carry out the
programme and make the tournament :1 suc-

The weather was chilly in the afternoon,
and rain was constantly threatened, but at
precisely2230 game was called between the
Bridgeport Club, of Bridgeport, and the
Liberty Club, of Norwalk. Both of these
clubs enjoyed a reputatiorpas strong players,

ls'r , went to the but, and
by exce oredS runs. Quin-
tard an eput out on fly balls

and Aiken close putting a. bail to lst
base ' advance of himself. The Bridge-
ports ere unlucky on the start : 'Stagg,
Jones and Smith putting the ball in suc-
cession to the lat base, and Meeker saved
them the trouble of running bases.

21) Innate—Curtis sent a good fly to long
r. f., which was mufl‘ed; Hoyt sent a high
ball to c. f., which was well taken ; Buttery
put a foul ball over the fence in the 1. f., and
followed by another long foul, then to 3d ;
Meeker to 3d, and was put out at 1st; Aiken
was put out on a foul fly well‘aken. The
boys batted splendidly throughout, and suc-
ceeded in making 14 runs, which put them
in excellent spirits.

Ashdown' opened with a good knock to
long r. f. ; Bennett to c. f., and out on fly ;
Chapman to 1. ti; Griffith up, taken by But-
tery; Gibbons out on foul by Quintard. One
run.

3D Emma—The Liberty boys continued
their fine batting, and scored 11 runs more.
Campbell was put out on let base, Buttery
on foul tip, and Meeker by a good catch by
J ones.

Bailey was put out at first; Stagg reached
his base, and finally made a tally ; Jones out

on foul tip; Smith struck out.

4m Emma—Quin secured a tally by a
good run from 3d to home; Gruman put a
good one to long c. f., which was handsome—
ly taken by Bennett. Two runs.

Ashdown saved a whitewash by securing
one run.

5TH lumen—More good batting and base
running; good catch by Chapman. Eight
runs.

Bailies ahd Stagg out in succession at 1st,
and Bennett at 1st. Two runs this time.

6TH Emma—Good catches by Griffith
and Bennett. Two runs for Liberty.

Griffith secured a tally ‘by stealing a run.

7TH Burke—Buttery put a ball over-
head of c. f., and came in on a knock by
Quin, and Quin came in on a good one by
Aiken. Two runs.

Aiken, Curtis and Church made good fly
catches, and Bridgeport scored 0_.

8TH Dimes—Rain commenced drizzling
down, and made the ball very hard to handle.
Four runs. -

More rain and loose playing by the Lib-
erty, and Bridgeport made 9 runs.

9TH INNING.—GOO(I knocking, and 9 runs
by Liberty. -

After 5 runs the game closed with a fine
catch by Curtis. , -

The game throughout was one of the best
we have ever witnessed. The Liberty club
owe their grand success to splendid batting
and Buftcry’s fine pitching. The Bridge-
port club played well, and have nothing to
be ashamed of. We give the score below :

More rain Friday morning. At 3:10 game
between Bristol and.Alert of South N or-
walk—ground in bad condition, and ball
hard to hold. Bristol was in full strength,
but Alert came upon the ground very weak,
with “Sam” their famous pitcher absent, and
with three second nine men. They were
shaky on the start, and really unfit to con-
test with a first-class club. 0 The Bristol
boys were under good discipline and played
exceedingly well. The first three innings
the Alerts played poorly, waiting for “Sam,”
and scored but 3 runs, the last five innings,
they scored 16 to Bristol 17. The score tells

the story :—

The final game was played Saturday morn-
ing between Bristol and Liberty. Bristol
led off well, playing finely, Smith’s pitching
bothering Liberty somewhat. Liberty did
some tall mulling the first half of the game.
in strong contrast to their play of Thursday.
The Bristols were very confident and jubi-
lant, but Liberty sailed in for the $100 prize

 

washing Bristol twice and winning the game

1st prize $100 Liberty club,‘,Norwalk.

2d do, $25 Bristol club, Bl'lSlO].

3d do, $10 Monitor club, of Westport.
Best throw, C. J. Grnnlan, Jr. Liberty
club, $5.00, 313 feet.

Fastest base running, between Stagg of
Bridgeport and Grumun of Liberty, each
running in 10 seconds, $2.50.

Best single score, Lewis, of Bristol, in
match with Monitors, no outs, 10 runs.

 

Two hours after the close of the Tourna-
ment, the Liberty nine again appeared to
play a match game with Yale University.
But they were played out, used up by their
previous game; they had triumphed in the
tournament, won the $100, did not expect to
beat Yale, and therefore did not care a rush
how the game went. They commenced fair-
ly, but soon gave out, the pitcher and catch.
er going to the field, &c. In four innings
they made 7 to the Yale 20, and closed with
11 to Yale 40—7 innings. Yale was under
splenpid discipline and played carefully and
great skill, but Buttery’s pitching evidently
bothered them. We regret exceedingly that
this game was played under these circum-
stances.

geant of the late President Lincoln and the
Scenery comprises correct views of all the
principal streets,with their buildings through
which the cortege passed from Washington
to Springfield, while the moving figures
illustrate the troops,railroad trains,crowds of
people &c., in a manner never before at-
tempted in this country. The. exhibition
has received the most unqualified admira-
tion‘from all who have seen it.

-————.—4.o-.~—

WOn Tuesday evening last, a mysterious
assemblage of young men with umbrellas
was observed at the room of Pioneer H. 62
L. 00., Main street. Soon after 10 o’clock,
some fifty of them came out ' into the street,
formed line, and “astonished the natives" by
marching up Main street to the music of the
Norwalk Brass Band. Arriving at the resi-
dence oer. Geo. Holmes, the line filed into
his yard, and the Band made their presence
known _by the concord of sweet sounds. All
hands were invited in, and made a raid on a
handsomely spread table Of refreshments.

 

transpired that the whole affair was intend-
ed as a serenade to Mr. and Mrs. Homer
Merrill, who had recently returned from
their bridal trip.

 

WWe are requested to state that the
price of admission to the Lincoln Funeral
Diorama, for this place, has been put at 25
cents, and 50 cents for reserved seats, to
come within the reach of all classes.

WAt the commencement of the war we.
had a. beautiful American flag which was
flung to the breeze from the top of Gazette
Building. It was devoted to public service
and at the close of the war was in tatters,
having telegraphed the news of every union
victory in the field or at the ballot box to
the surrounding country. Last week we re-
placed it with a bran new flag, and a Grant
streamer; from the hands of the same maker
W. J. Powell, 153 South street,N. Y. “Long

for themselves, be adding ‘tO the material
growth and prosperity of the place, have not
been altogether fruitless. Mr. Joseph Shep-
herd has just completed a block of six dwell

with all the modern conveniences, necessary
for family tenements. Tile Houses are neat
and well arranged, and as a matter of course
are already rented to good tenants. Mr.
Shepherd deserves the thanks of the commu-
nit;r for constructing such good homes for
the use of our laboring classes. This is, we

to tone up the system depressed by mental or bodily
exhaustion. At such times let every one, instead of
taking alcoholic or mediéinal stimulants, reinvigorate
his debilitated system by the natural tonic elements
of the
Peruvian Syrup.

or Protected Solution of the Protoxidc of Iron, which
vitalizcs and enriches the blood by supplying it with
its Life Element, Iron. ,

icing free from Alcohol ill ally form, its energizing
effects are not followed by carrespondiugreaction, but
are permanent, infusing strength, vigor and new life
into all parts ot'tllc system, and building up an Iron

constitution. .
WM. C. STERLING Esq.,of Pellgllkecpsie,N.Y. says:
“Since taking the Peruvian Syrup I feel better, my
strength is improved, my bowels are regular, my ap-
petite first rate. ‘

There is an old Physician in this city. (older than I
am) who has been in the Drug husllleSs for 40 years,
who has used the Syrup for three months, and gives it.
as his decided opillion, that it is the best Alterative
Tonic Medicine he ever knew.”

We are constantly hearing favorable reports from
those who have tried this remedy. Amy Anthony,
wife of Mark Anthony, of this city, and living at No.

were recently induced to make a trial of the Salve.
Almost instantly she experienced relief from the pain
which had been almost uncndurable Everyotber rem-

tried it once are satisfied of its merits, and nothing
