THE FAIR! %
l‘iic week of the Fair was most fortunately
(:2: .-, u so 'far as good Weather was concerned.
~' 1‘52: dust was laid by a. copious rain On
‘f'nursday night, which left the grounds and
:rack in admirable condition. The show fof
fruits was very large and unusually excellent.
The same might be said of garden vegetables '
and farm products. The animal part of the
exhibition was decidedly inferior to some
previous years, yet individual exhibits were
made of rare merit and value. ‘.
The grounds were kept from the ordinary
nuisances Of hueksters,‘while rum selling arid
gambling wheels were rigidly excluded,
although large sums were Offered to tempt to
their admittance. We have never had a Fair
cleaned Of all that was low and corrupting,
and the community will accOrd the credit to
President Beatty, for his determined and suc-
ccssul efforts to rcndcrit a place Of plca‘sant
and innocent resort by men, women and
children. The large attendance Thursday
and Friday ensured the financial success. of
this year's show and all, officers, members
and people are to be congratulated. Z
In Family Horses, the. show of double
teams was but fair'. W. 1 E. Dunn of N or;
walk taking the first premium. P. D. Cros-
by, also had a very fine team present but not
being on hand when the class was called up,
he could not compete, but we understand
that the committees awarded him a discre-
tionary premium equal to the-first. ‘
The single horses only four appeared and
Dunn also got first premium in that class.
The exhibition of Mares and Colts was the.
best ever shown at any Of our County Fairs;
some of the Colts being of unusually superior;
merit. There were thirteen entries in this
class, all good.
Senator Bruggerhof had one of the most
promising young trotting horses on the-
ground. It is a large, rangey, Open-gaited.
roan colt, which shows a promise of great
speed.
Of Stallions, Class 21, only five were ex-.
hibited, 2 of five year old and upwards, and '
3 of three year olds‘. .
Class 23, work Horses, there weic but a
few entered. , . ~
Handford Smith, of New Canaan, drove a
fine mine of his own raising, around the
track betWeen races. ‘
The handsomest' double team on the grounds
was the private carriage pair of Jonathan E.
Wheeler, of Saugatuck. '
Mr. Mackey’s boys were on the grounds
with a smart pair Of black ponies.
As a whole, the exhibition of Horses was
very fine indeed, and the trials of speed
interesting and exciting.
From Fair Daily of Thursday.
The exhibition of Fruits, Vegetables, and
Flowers in the main building is ahead of any
thing we have seen there for several years,
especially of choice fruits. The ladies hand-
iwork also abounds in great profusion, while
the Potter at work with his wheel, and the
young lady with her straw sewing machine
attracts a crowd.
The Poultry department is as full as usual,
and well filled with good fowls.
The show of agricultural implements is not
as large as usual.
W. Herrgcn,’ gardener to J. B. Hoyt, Esq,
Stamford, has 18 varieties of grapes, 9 of
peaches, 15 of apples, the best beets, a very
large and handsome display of garden vege-
tables, extra large water melons, nutmeg
melons, &c. He tookfirst premium on grapes
He had two bunches of 4 lbs. each, and 1
bunch of 3 lbs. _ Altogether he has as good,
if not better display than was ever before
made at our Fair. ‘ ' ' ‘ '
.A handsome basket of garden flowers is ex-
hibited by Miss Emily B.,Lockwood.
The Misses Kellogg, an‘d Clune, have very
handsome boquets Offlowcrs.

out of Flora 3d, and its sire the noted "Lan-

who had the courage to come to time on the
call for 4 year colts. Nelly Morgan out of
Toronto Chief, showed herself to be an ex-
ccediiigly promising colt, although the Fish
colt succeeded in leading her.
The attendance at the Fair on Wednesday
evening was large. The Danbury trains and
the street carriages brought crowds of people.
The Band Concert was the great attraction of
the evening, and the fine music delighted all.
The Concert closed about ten o’clock.
From Fair Daily of Friday.

som from Stratford, third—Three heats,

'm. Aunt Mary; Charley Brown’s Damn was
third—Six heats.
From Fair Daily 01’ Saturday.
Friday was also another big day at the
grounds; the crowd in the afternoon being
very large, nearly as much so as the day be-
fore. The Grand Stand was crowded with
ladies and gentlemen to witness the Trotting
and Running Races, with which all seemed
pleased. No accident occurred in any part
of the grounds to mar the general good har-
mony of the occasion, and the officers of the
Society are to be congratulated upon the gen-
eral good order maintained as also upon the
successs of this the Thirty-sixth Annual Fair
of the Society. '

2
3:03. The three horses kept well together

the finish in a bunch,each time.
The Fruits and flowers in colors, which
attracted so much attention, were the artistic
handiwork of Mrs. Chas. S. Lockwood.
Miss Lillie M. Scllcck, daughter of Mr.

tion for an elegant chair and two otto-

. Whitney’s Photographs were superb. His
large (Photo) Crayon likenesses of Mr. Ferry

the Oil Portrait Of the late Supt. Hoyt was
also especially admired; while his miscellan-
eous collection was certainly equal to any-
thing to be seen at any city exhibit.
John M. Ferris, of Stamford, is entitled to
the credit of getting up the string of fifteen
yoke of extra fine working oxen. He also

cattle. He is proprietor of the Stamford
Bulls Head.
John Ryan’s watermelons were the sweep-
stakes, one weighing 56 lbs. and he also had
0. Chester Beet weighing 2.0le. That beet
will be hard to beat. His heaviest bunch of
grapes weighed 45 lbs. We should hardly
have had a creditable show but for John
Ryan.

Solid Silver Ware and Silver Plated Ware,
valued at over $1,500.
Thc‘remark was made over and over again
at the Fair Grounds last week. “How fc'w
drunken men are to be seen this year.” ‘ The
public will award President Beatty and the
Fair managers the praise which is their due
for freeing this year’s exhibition as far as
“Fe certainly have never had a Fair where
therezwas so little intoxication visible.
To Marshal Foster, Treasurer Scllcck, Man.
agcrs Kroger, Finncy, Bradley, Fitch, Ber-
wick and others, and the Secretaries headed
by Gregory, are the public so greatly indebt-
ed for our orderly and successful exhibition.
Their complete organization and promptness
in the arrangement of all the details of the
Fair, were more noticublc this year than ever
before, and the results most satisfactory.
After all, the great 3sz 001mm of the
Fair was. the crowd of' orderly and friendly
people, who came together to greet each
other as. at an annual pic-nic.
Two articles Of girls clothing were found
at the} ‘air, which Mr. Kroger has placed in
Mr. Se! lleck’s charge. The owners can find

The Silver Ball Muddle.
Mr. Glover, the umpire of the series of
games for the Silver Ball, has decided to
throw out the games in which the Indepen-
dent club participated. This will make the
contests sort of Midshipman Easy three-
corncrcd-duel affair between the Unions and
the Stamford and Greenwich clubs. How
the games will be arranged we do not know,
but it isasurc thing that the Unions will
have an easy victory. We suggest that the
fairest thing to do would be to let the
Unions play against both clubs—nine to
eighteen. As the Independents are victorious
the loss Of the ball.

gaged to deliver a lecture in the New Music

The Hell Gate Explosion.
Gen. Newton announces that the great ex-
plosion at Hell Gate, will take place on
Thursday next. - The General does not
anticipate a great spectacle, and says that
people who assemble to see the affair will be
seriously disappointed. The great work
will be accomplished, he thinks, without
danger and without great fuss.

A Danbury Tilden man, proprietor of a

ing notice in his shop:
NOTICE.
“ The interests Of this firm are strongly
allied to the preservation of peace in the en-
tire union, and against the policy of those in
power at the present time, to create outbreaks
and employ military power to enforce their
continuance Of the same; and while we will
use every honorable means to persuade all to
join the standard of reform in our employ;
all employees are requested to act as they be-
licvc to be right and to their own advantage,
and whilst we cannot employ those that
would act destructive to the business of the
firm, we hope those opposed to our interest
will WITHDRAW FROM OUR EMPLOY,
on and after Saturday, September 16th. To
such, their accounts will be made up during
the week, and what is due them will be paid
Monday, Sept. 25th, at 2 p. m."

It is gratifying to know that a Temple of
Honor and Temperance is to be institucd in
your Borough this (Tuesday) evening. The
noble men who have been reclaimed,and who
are now so earnestly laboring for the good of
others, should be sustained by the co-opera-

Christian community.

It is useless for your country papers to
growl about the sidewalks in the city. We
live under. a different law from country laws,
and then our officers cannot be so efficient,
being only half democratic. Wait patiently
until that new democratic council are inaugu-

it would now.
The regular meeting of the Hayes and
Wheeler Union Republican Club, was held
at the club room on Friday evening. All
felt that the demonstration and the arguments
presented on Friday evening, at Music Hall,
was along step forward, and are most happy
tO learn by the Sentinel, that a contract has
been made with one of the consistent demo-
crats, to answer the arguments and figures
presented by Professor Northrop. We trust
that he will get his pay before the work be-
gins. It is thought this effort is entirely un-
necessary, as George hiss answered it twenty
times by saying it is all a lie. J udgc Ami
Giddings made afcw very pertinent and hap-
py remarks to the club and Boys in Blue,
promising to resume the subject at the next
meeting. At the close of the meeting the
Boys in Blue made a short parade, and are
now ready for active duty. . '
A most animated discussion was held at the
old lien roost, over the extract given in the
New York and New Haven papers, from the
address of M. W. Gary, at Athens, S. C. The
directions which he gives to the democracy
“ to go in masses, armed rind try and force
the mgroes to vote the democratic ticket, and
if they do not, shoot them down,” was com-
mended by some who thought they ought to
be taught such a lesson. In answer to Gary‘s
appeal “ What say you, men. can’t we do it,”
more than one voice replied “ we can and we
will." Such is democracy.
While the contest .is waging hot on the
presidential question, we must not forget that
we shall soon be called upon to elect our town

of worthy and capable men only. ,

The Westport Trout Association having
done in the past their share towards helping
the State solve the problem of propagating
fish by artificial processes, and of restocking
the rivers of the State with Shad and Salmon,
are preparing to continue the good work.

itself :—
Orroa UNITED STATES COMMlSSlONERS,
0N FISH AND FISHERIES.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Sept. 14, 1876.
To E. M. LEEs, Esq., Westport, Ct.,
DEAR SIR :——I beg to inform you that
Mr. Livingston Stone has been instructed to
forward you 500,000 eggs Of the California
Salmon, as requested by Dr. Hudson, to be
hatched out under your direction, and intro-
duced into public waters. Mr. Stone has
been futhcr directed to telegraph to you in
advance Of the time and place of receiving
the eggs. Yours Truly,
SPENCER BAIRD, Com.
P. S.——Eggs may be expected about the
beginning of October.
A day or two ago, a wild duck in its
flight struck a tclegraph wire with such force
as to sever its head from the body. It fell at
the feet of Mr. Samuel Gorham, who was
walking across the upper bridge, and that
gentleman is reported as having subsequently
dined on fine game that came providentially
into his hand.
Four fine horses for the Street Railroad,
arrived Thursday night, and were put into
the railroad Company’s new stables, near the
O. I. Jones’ tin shop. They were purchased
of the Fourth Avenue rallrord Company,
New York, and were fully equipped for
work, even tO the tinkling bell, the sound “of
which is hereafter to be so welcome to such
as have become weary of paying 25 cents for
a ride to or from the depot. Irregular trips
were made by the cars Friday and Saturday,
many citizens enjoyed the same. Beginning
with to-day (Monday) trips will be made to
every New Haven accommodation, and to
some of the express trains, daily. The road
is in splendid grade throughout. Until the
village bridge is done the cars will start
from near E. Wheeler’s grocery, after that,
from the village Hotel.
The reason why Mr. and Mrs. Daniel
Darrow came back to the village so soon after
removing to their house in the country was,
Mrs. D. found the homestead so changed
from what she had known it for forty years
that it made her homesick to look at it, and
induccda longing to be out of its sight.
They accordingly packed their trunks and
returned.
About fifty ladies and gentlemen from
Westport visited the Centennial last week.
Some of'them took ronnd trip tickets by the
way of the steamer: Arrowsmith, and the
Pennsylvania Central R. R., and they re-
port that route the cheapest and quickest.
Among those who either started for or re-
turncd from Philadelphia during the week
are, Mr. H. R. Treadwcll, Miss Kittie
Treadwell, Miss Clarissa A. Mygatt, Mr.
and Mrs. S. B. Sherwood, Mrs. T. B. Wake-
man, A. W. Bradley, Capt. and Mrs. James
Hubbell, Mrs. ._E. M. Lees, Miss Esther R.

True to his promise Mr. Wm. B. Wright,
last week, paid $25 to the committee appoint-
ed tO get up the late Fourth of July celebra-
tion. The committee who have published
their report of receipts and expenditures,
take exception to comments in the local
journals reflecting on their integrity. They
ask, can men, in harvest time when labor is
worth something, be hired to make cartridges
for nothing, move guns for nothing, load and
fire them for nothing? and can musicians be
hired to play for nothing?
A social affair—one Of those little events
which serve asera’s in the history of onc's
every-day life, occurred Thursday night at
the residence of Mrs. Noah W. Bradley. It
was planned and carried out by Mr. James
Knox Polk, nephew and namesake of the
late President, who has been stopping at Mrs.
B's house daring the summer, as a compli-
ment to her and to his personal friends in
this neigborhood. In response to Mr. Polk’s
invitations there came ladies and gentlemen
from Norwalk, Southport, Fairfield, Bridge-
port, Westport and New York, in number
sufficient to fill the mansion with life and
elegance. The trees which nestle about the
house seemed happy and animated by the
festive scenes enacting beneath them, and the
broad expanse of harbor and Sound close by
looked up and smiled a satisfaction. All this
was enhanced by lighted Chinese lanterns
hung all over the grounds, forming a picture
of rare loveliness. Within, wit flashed, and
every heart was joyful. Music by Starr’s
band, Bridgeport, lent its voluptuous swell,
and dancing by the belles and beaux revived
memories Of what had transpired in those
parlors before. Each and all were made to
feel perfectly “at home,” especially when in-
vited to assist the host in performing one of
the most pleasing duties of his life—the dis
position Of the contents Of stable bountifully
and elegantly spread at his own expense, for
their special entertainment. The solids dis-
posed Of, then came that which being of a
fluid nature some designate for want Of a
better name, “Old Dry,” and all was “merry
asa marriage bell.” Mr. Polk anticipated
every wish and was equal to the task of
gratifying it aided in the effort by Mr. and
Mrs. Bradley, who,’ though having returned
late from a busy day at the Norwalk Fair,
were active in carrying out the plans of their
friend. Ths small hours of Friday morning
found the company making ready to depart
and wondering whither the time which had
afforded so much pleasure, had fled.
It is proposed to build a new house for
Vigilant Engine Company. A subscription
paper is now in circulation for that purpose.
Capt. H. P. Burr offers as a free gift, a lot
of ground, west side, near his residence, as a
site. -
Messrs. D. S. Staples and B. H. Toquct
of this place attended the 12th rc-union of the
veterans Of the 23d Connecticut Regiment,
Tuesday, at Bridgeport, and they report hav-
ing a fine time. Between 50 and 60 veterans
were .prcsent. Licut. Col. Worden was
chosen president, and a committee of one
from each company was appointed to fix the
place for the re-union in 1877. Dinner was
served in tlfe Open air at Seaside Park, in the
shade of the new Soldiers’ Monument, upon
the tablets of which are inscribed the names
of the Regiments dead who went from
Bridgeport. It will be remembered that this
regiment belonged to the 19th Army Corps,
under Maj. Gen. Banks, and engaged in
several contests with the rebels in Louisiana,
prominent among which were the battles at
Brazor City and Lafourche Crossing. Many
ladies were present at the dinner. The boys
indulged in many a good laugh at the wit
and sportivencss of Mr. Cassious M. Clay, a
colored individual who accompanied the
regiment in the capacity of body servant to
Capt. Charles IV. Hall, of Bridgeport.
After dinner and just before separating,
noses were counted to determine the political
status of the boys. It resulted as follows :—
Hayes, 43; Tilden, 1 ; on the fence, 1.
Thursday, Mr. Josiah Raymond, who was
driving to the village, ran against one of the
iron cable guys attached to the derrick used
in repairing the bridge with such force as to
take the top of his carrisgc off. Occupying
the carriagc’s single seat, and unhurt at that,
he seemed less surprised at the occurrence.
than did the throng of loungcrs and others
looking at him.
A schooner loaded heavily with coal for
S. G. Taylor, lying at J csups dock Thursday
night, sunk, and next morning it looked
rather funny to see the crew with their wives
and children who had been forced by an un-
usually high tide in the cabin to leave precip-
itatcly. eating their breakfast, which tasted
stror. ly of salt water and crack mud, on the

Mr. Algernon T. Burr is the champion
sweet potato grower of this place, and brings
forward specimens weighing nearly two
pounds. .
Thinking to prevent the recurrence of
those inundations which have from time to
time annoyed the village property owners,
the water way under the bridge on State
street which forms the outlet of “Dead Man’s
Brook,” has been widened to twelve feet,
but Mr. Lewis Bradley says when a high
tide after a three day‘s easterly wind occurs
in conjunction with a great rain fall there
would be nO relief from that source though
the widening extended forty feet.
Take a look at those iron girders for the
bridge, at Nash’s wharf and see if you can
doubt their power to last an age.
The question is asked, “would it not be
well for those so earnest in their endeavors
to fix the rate Of fare tO be charged by the
horse railroad company, to take a. little stock
in said company, and thus stand on ground
warranting their queries and suggestions?"
Mr. Henry R. Taylor, of San Francisco,
formerly of this place, is in town.
Mr. William E. Nash, in repairing the
sluiccway front of his house has incurred an
expense which should be defrayed by the
town.
In the death Of Mr. Ambrose Goodscll at
Poplar Plains, the town loses a good citizen
and the M. E. Church aconscientious and ex-
emplary member. The funeral took place
Monday 11th in the Methodist church of his
native hamlet, Rev. Mr. Stcbbins officiating,
and the burial in Christ Church Cemetery.
An incendiary fire, Wednesday morning,
destroyed the farm born of Mr. Charles S.
\Vakeman, Green’s Farms. Much hay, and
many valuable agricultural implements were
burned, and about 100 barrels of white onions
owned by Mr. George Fairchild. The actual
loss exceeds $3,000.
Rev. Mr. Dotten, of the Episcopal Theologi-
cal Seminary Ncw York, preached Sunday
morning at Christ .Church.

If the enemy of mankind was permitted to exert
his diabolical ingenuity in the invention ofa new
disease, he could scarcely devise one more worthy
Of his genius than dyspepsia. The dyspeptic suf—V
fcrer is tormented by symptoms resmbling those of
almost every known malady, and is often worried
into monomaniu by these conflicting and perplex
ing manifestations. A favorite though absurd hal-
luclnation of tlic‘viclim of chronic indigestion is
that he or she has heart disease. Dyspepsia has
often been pronounced incurable, but experience
has shown that Hostctter’s Stomach Bitters will
vanquish it, together with the constipation and
bilious derangement which usually accompany it.
Diseases of" the kidneys and supposed rheumatic
pains are so frequent concombitnnts of dyspepsia,
but they, too, succumb to the above named Inval-
