THE FAIR.

Aweek of more beautiful weather never
favored our Fair, and the masses 0f people
who thronged it throughout, fully attested
their appreciation of all favoring circumstan-
ces.

The show of cattle was limited, but that of
horsbs was unusually large and creditable.
Within the building, Capt. Stephen Hoyt &
Sons exhibited their tempting fruits as usual,

 

 

and several boxes of their superiorly cultiva-'

ted trees. Peter Guigue, Thomas Clune, and
others, exhibited flowers and plants in profu-
sion, while John Ryan and Wm. Herrgen, gar-
deners to the Hoyts, saved the vegetable de-
partment from an entire collapse. The Siam.
ford exhibits of grapes and vegetables would
have redeemed any Fair from discredit.

W. C. Street Jr Go. made the largest ex-
hibit of any of our local dealers. It was a
large and comprehensive show of the hard-
ware dealers’ stock.‘ Their galvanized iron
shingles attracted much attention.

Lina Weed had the largest and finest exhib-
it of fine and fine art wares, while Mrs. Faw-
cett led in millincry.

The display of Agricultural Implements
was creditable. The poultry better than we
have ever seen before. The Fourth Regl.
Inent Band pl: yed bewitchingly, and their
two evening concerts were crowded.

As heretofore, the princrpal interest of the
visitors centered-in the performances on the
track. The chariot and flat races by the fe-
males, undoubtedly drew immense numbers
by their novelty, though several practical
farmers we met were sorely perplexed to
comprehend in what way this part of- the
show was to promote agriculture. But the
crowd paid its money to be tieklEd rather
than instructed, and the Society's treasury
was undCubtedly greatly strengthened by this
fragment of t‘Barnum’s great moral circus."

The trotting this year was of unusual ex-
cellence, there being more entries than ever
before; all classes called for being represent-
ed, somc. of them by 11 entries. There were
46 entries in_ all, and the trotting was witness-
ed by crowds on Thursday and Friday. On
Saturday afternoon, when the'fustcst horses
trotted, there were but a comparatively few
spectators. (hie thing to the uninitiated
seemed queer.’ On Thursday the ,3 minute
class trotted in 2:47; 2:47; 2:475»; then the
2:50 class came on and they trotted their first
heat in 2:51! The next day the 2:40 horses
trotted theirxfirst beat in 2:52, so that it really
appeared to the outsiders that the three min-
ute class had really the best horses in it. ‘

There were few disturbances in the main,
all passed off smoothly and satisfactorily.
The steadily growing offence to decent peo-
ple, of the universal sale of liquors on ghe
grounds, was more apparent than heretofore,
and was unreservedly condemned by many
warm friends and supporters of the Society.
The entire lack , of V anything like a daily pro-

gramme or bulletin of special features to‘

come off each day, was severely criticized
lt was thought that such a bulletin of each
day’s proceedings might have been prepared,
giving succinctly what was to come off dur-
ing the day, and what am when, &c., and
this posted on the Secretary’s office, where
those desiring to husband their time or un-
able to be present a full day, could plan their
attendance accordingly. .

With the exception of the abUe two com-
plaints. we believe the visitors crowding the
grounds, were entirely pleased. After all it
is the attendace of the people that makes our
annual exhibitions successes or failures, and
in respect to the great numbers attending,the
Fair of 1877 musn’t be put down as an un-
precedentcd success.

 

Sec. Gregory will please accept our thanks
for constant favors.

James D. Smith‘s gardener, Mr. Thomas
Broderick, exhibited for the first time this
, year, and made a sweepstakes in hot house
grapes. Hic'case was the pride of the Fair
and a temptation to all; it was probably as
fine, if not finer, than any ever before exhib-
ited. He also had three. mammoth pump-
kins, the largest on exhibition. We hope he
will continue exhibiting; he will be a valu-
able acquisition, for friend'Smith never does
anything by halves, and‘ always has every-
thing with which he is connected or inter-
ested, A No. 1.

Mr. Bronson‘s English Coach, with foot-
man in top boots, was among the novelitien
in the way of vehicles at the Fair on Thurs-
day.

open culture peaches grown on his place
on Prospect Hill. They were the largest in
the show, but unfortunately for the General
there was no premium offered for the largest
peaches, but simply'for the “Best and great-‘
est variety.” _

Messrs. Dunham & Sons, of New York,
made a fine display of Pianos, which at-
tracted much attention. Competent judges
pronounce these‘instruments among the best
in the market. A lady purchased one, as we
learn, through the instrumentality of adver--
trsement in the Gamma. These Pianos will,
also be exhibited at Danbury.

The policy of witholding the names of ex-
hibitors was adopted this year. It is a good
idea to keep the names of until the commit-
tees have made their examinations, but after
that the names shouldbe given in justice to
exhibitors and convenience of the public.

-Wm. Herrgen, gardner to Wm. Hoyt of
Stamford carried off many of the premiums
this year on Vegetables. He had an un-
usually fine display. He made exhibit this
year of Grapes being satisfied with having,
beat everything in that line last year.

Mr. C. H. Phillips, of Brook Farm, had a
case of his medicines, Milk of Magnesia
Phospho-Nutritine, &c.

A. H. Hoyt & 00, had three cases of
Boots & Shoes,—-good enough for anybody.

S. Hoyt &; Sons helped out with a big
display of choice pears and apples, and speci-
mens trees.

There was a great collection of rag carpets
quilts, tidies, lamberquins, etc.

Supt. Saudiforth made ample preparations
for the accommodation of the crowds attend-
ing the Fair and run twelve trains each way,
each day. Certainly the Danbury Road dc-v
served to do a large business. ” '

Street carryalls were numerous, and made
frequent trips, carrying many passengers.

Noah W. Bradley had his monster short
Horn grade Milch Cow, weighing 1430 lbs.
Bradley was one of the hardest worked and
working members of the Fair committee.

T. B. Wakeman’s exhibit of open-culture
grapes, pears and peaches, was very credita-
bie. ,

A case of wax flowers, made by Miss Fanny
E. Lockwood, So. Norwalk. without moulds,
was deserving of special mention.

. Mr. Scott, of So. Norwalk, exhibited Wile
cox do Gibbs’ and the improved Howe Sew.
in g Machines.

D’Artois run the;,Di_uing Saloon and the
Refreshment Rodfinsbcrctofore. ‘

S. K. Stanley tempted smokers with a dis-
play of tobacco, segars, die.

The Norwalk LockIICompany made a good
show of Iron Bronzed Goods, and Gold Bron-
zed Goods.

Mrs. Fawcett had a case of handsome hats,
feathers, etc.

Peter Guigue had plenty of nice.flowers,
and T. Clune had a large variety of plants,
vegetables, etc. . .

President Wheeler had a case of cloth cov-
ered Buttons, showing what the busy Sauga-
tuck Button Company can do in that line:

Gen. Couch exhibited a basket .of_ fine;

"John Ryan, gardener to Oliver Hoyt, has
been for years one of theiprinciral mainstays
of the Fair in the way of hot-house grapes
and full varieties of garden vegetables. This
year, as usual, he made a very fine display of
grapes,—a large case full, tcmptingly array-
ed,——and the largest display of vegetables.
Don’t see how the Fair could get along with-
out John. .

Miss S. Fanny Lockwcod exhibited sever-
al paintings. Miss Mary F. Platt exhibited
a life-like portrait of the late D.‘ W. Nash,
and Miss Mary. K. Sauds,IDarien, had a very
current portrait of D. S. Lynes. I,

Whitney, asusualtnhada collebtion of pho-
tographs. It was not as large as in some
previous years, but the pictures were .well
executed and attracted a constant crowd.
He will exhibit at Ridgefleld.

The bread, cake and preserved fruit look-
ed “good enough to- eat." —

A case of cut’fiowers, beautiful and fra-
grant. was universally admired.

C. S. Prowitt exhibited a model yacht
made by himself, and Joseph Matheis had a
large cage of singing birds of several varie-
ties. A cage of stuffed birds, petrified ocean
sucker, ctc., shown by Mr. Knapp, So. Nor-
walk, an object of much attention.

Fred Mead bad a very tempting display of
choice confectionary. '

Thrr e casesof hand made harness, &c., were
hibited by Mr. J. L. Ferris, who is very proud
of his work and glad to have it examined.

R. I. Tolles had one of the improved Davis
sewing machines in operation turning out a

ladies.

A. Rolf had the largest sickle pears we ev-
st, and large pears and peaches. 1 '

P. H. Dwycr had a large exhibit of harness,
&c.

Marshall Foster was kept on horseback
about all the time, and was efficient as usual.

Tun Rncsrrrs.:—The amount taken in dur-
ing the week for the sale of tickets alone
amounted to $3, 147, 26. A good revenue is
derived from the sale of booths, etc., and the
Society receives $200 from the State. Al-
together the receipts are probably larger than
ever before—with one exception.

A CARD.

The officers of the FAIBFIELD COUNTY Ao-
nIouL'rURAL Socmrr would return their
thanks to Messrs.C. F.Adams and J. F. Kay-I
mond for valuable services rendered gratui-
tiously, and to the “A. E. Smith Sons Pottery”
for ware furnished the Society for use. All
persons having bills against the Society are
requested to present them to the Treasurer,
W. A. Curtis, Esq., on or before Saturday,
the 30th inst. , J. E. Warm, President.

 

 

Temperance Anniversary.

The Centennial Temple of Honor celebrat-
ed their first anniversay, at their rooms in
Gazn'r'rn BUILDING, last Tuesday evening.
An opening prayer was made by Mr. Giles
Haulenbeck. Rev. J. A. Hamilton made a
stirring address, and short speeches were
made by Brothers Reed, Nelson, Nichols,
Narthrop, Brown and others. A choir of
ladies and gentlemen furnished music.

The ladies had another exceedingly inter-
esting Temperance meeting at the Amphithea-
tre Grove on Sunday, while the excitements
of the Fair week and the ending up Circus,
Seemed to have incited an unusual number to
go and get drunk and exhibit themselves
about our streets on Sunday.

 

Temperance Meetings.

WeIare requested to state that a meeting
will be held in Lockwood’s Hall, next Friday
evening, to consider the License question,
which is to be voted upon next Monday.
Rev. J. M. Buckley, of Stamford, a popular
preacher, will deliver an address, and short
speeches will be made by local speakers. All
are invited. '

Next Sunday, the last meeting in the Am-
phitheatre, will be held. Speakers from out
of town will be present.

Next Monday, Election day, an all day
prayer meeting will be held, commencing at
(in. In. There will be a change of leader
and subject each hour. .

 

The funeral of Wm. K. James was large-
ly attended at St. Paul’s church on Tuesday
last. Rev. Dr. Mead preaching the sermon
and Rev. C. M. Selleck conducting1 the servi-
ces at the grave, Rev. Dr. Spencer also being
in attendance. His remains were sepulchred
in the church-yard. By request of the fami-
ly there were no flowers.

Mr. James left a will, which contains pro-
visions for two public bequests. One, a leg-
acy of five thousand ,dOllars, the annual in.
come of which is to be perpetually given the
Episcopal Church and Society of Wilton, his
native town. He leaves ten thousand dollars
which is to be put at interest, and when it
shall have reached eighty thousand, by com-
pounding, this sum is to be given to St. Paul’s
Episcopal Church of Norwalk, for the pur-
pose of aiding in the erection of a new stone
church. He provides that in event of any
separation or division of the church, this be
quest shall go to that portion retaining the
present church property on the Green. All
his other property was devised to his widow
and the heirs of his deceased sister. It
would pander to an unworthy curiosity only.
to detail these p’urelyprivate family bequests.

 

 

Capt. Joseph Hanford, our First Selectman,
broke his elbow, Sunday, and bruised his
face quite badly, in falling some ten feet
from a ladderinhis orchard. There was no
Eve about, so far as we are advised, but it is
the old story about the apple. The Captain

fruit, and his ladder careening threw him
suddenly to the ground. Dr. Jas. Gregory
is attending him in his painful misfortune,
and he is “as comfortable as could be expect-
ed.” He will be more certain of his footing
before he climbs f6r pippins again.
_
Telegraphic.

An impression seems to have gotten
abroad the the A. P. Telegraph office at the
Post Office was to be closed. This we are
assured is not the case, but that “Johnny"
will be on hand as prompt as ever to receive
and dispatch messages for the public.

, .._______....

Mr. Tweed’s testimony confirms the worst
that has been supposed concerning the old
Tammany ballot-box villainies. He acknowl-
edges that in New York city the votes used to
be regularly and systematically falsified by
the counters for the sake of securing whatever
result was desired. To use his own words,
“We would count the ballots in bulk, or,
without counting them, announce the results
in bulk, or change the totals from one to the
other, as the case might be. The ballots,
made no results—the counters made the re-
sult."

 

 

Aocrnnx'r.—On Wednesday morning, as
Mr. Wilmot Fawcett was starting from his
store with articles for the Fair, his horse
started suddenly and somehow collided with
"another team, upsetting Mr. Fawcett's wagon
and throwing him to the ground, breaking
collar bone and three ribs, and internally in-
juring him.

 

The residence of ex Mayor Harvey Fitch
was entered by sneak thieves, last Friday,
and robbed of a table cloth, skirt, etc.

On Saturday last, as Mr. John Cotter was
dressing foichurch,‘ he failed to find his Sun-
day-gobto meeting coat. Further examination
showed his second best coat to be missing.
Some sneak thief had selected these garments
from among the others in his wardrobe.

of Liquor License must vote ballots having

J . E. . The Telephone. '

Wm. H. Haywood, Esq., of Prospect Hill

is one of the Managers of theNew York Tel-

 

field-County, assigned to him. (The company
are doing an‘ immense bhsinéss’ in putting up
and in, this new and wonderfqldevelopment
of the electric art. The {elephone is a marvel
of simplicity.and therej , sscarce any limit
to its practical use.
one of the simple little instruments with us
for test and amusement and our wonder in-
creases as the more we use and try to compre-
hend its wonders. The most clear and con-
scise description we have yet seen of the Tel-
ephone was published in Frank Leslies Illus-
tratcd of the date of Sept. 29th. ' This we
shall give on our next week‘s outside. Hav-
ing been an eye witness, of the experiments
made in the old Capitol Rotunda, by Prof.
Morse, and been inspired by much of his hope
and confidence, while the whole world laugh-
ed him in derision, we naturally feel a special
interest in every new development of the
electric phenomena. Meantime, persons in
any way interested in the telephone can apply
to Mr. Haywood.

 

A Notable Surprise.

Ladies can. keep a secret. That fact was
demonstrated last Friday evening, when the
putor of the Congregational church entered
the quiet residence of Burgess C. C. Betts,
on the Green,’to face about two hundred of
hrs parishioners, who had assembled to “sur-
prise" him. The affair was so well conduct-
ed that no passer by would have mistrusted
that there was a large party in the house, pre-
vious to the arrival of the pastor and ‘his es-
cort of friends. The company had assembled
by invitation-of the ladies, and the surprise
was complete. After the pastor had recover-
ed from the surprise and had a brief opportu-
nity to greet his people, he was brought face
to face with the genial Rev. S.'B. S. Bissell,
who in a few very happy remarks again sur-
prised him by presenting a basket containing
over $100, which amount was a free gill of-
fering in envelopes by those in attendance,
towards the expense of painting theIoutside
of the church, and to show their appreciation
of Rev. Mr. Hamilton in his efforts - to
beautify and improve. the church edifice.
'He replied in well chosen remarks, in
which he made a special effort to render hun-
or to whom honor was due, etc. The party
broke up at an early hour, and all who par-
ticipated retired well pleased with the suc-
cess of the surprise.

 

 

' .‘ Telephone. ' . .
On F ‘ ay evening, the people of Norwalk
will be' ' brmittedto witness one ‘of the most
novel entertainments ever given in the city,
in the Telephone exhibition and concert to be
given in the Opera House. Prof. Robinson,
the lectursr, is the inventor of. the‘ famous
“Electric Railway Signal,” and is unable and
accomplished lecturer and operator. The
Bridgeport and Waterbury papers speak in
the most flattering toms of the entertain-
ment, and we ghink that the public may ex-
pect in every way a first-class entertainment.
The music will be transmitted over the equiv-
alent of six miles of wire, and is guaranteed
to be distinctly heard by all in the hall. The
construction of the ' Telephone will also be

extensively illustrated by charts. See adv.

. Base Ball.
On Wednesday morning the Fair opened
with a'game of base bdl between our two
rivals clubs—the Independents _of the Bor-
ough, and~the~Unions of Silver Mine. The
game was sharply contested throughout, and
was perhaps the best ever played in town.
From the start there was nothing but good,
fair and square playing on both sides, with
varying fortunes, the result beingallluck and
chance. At the close of the first. five innings,
the Borough club was 1 ahead; the next three
innings the others were 1 ahead; the last in-
nings fortune favored the Independents and
they won the game—4 to 3. The umpire evi-
dently intended to be fair and impartial.

RUNS EACH INNING.

The National and Astoria clubs of Wash-
ington, played their third game of Ball, on
Tuesday afternoon last. In the first game,
by introducing an “imported” pitcher, the
Astoria’s beat the Nationals. In the second
game, the Nationals introduced Bannon to
the-Asturias, and after trying their best, for
four innings, to bat Bannon's pitching, the
Astoria’s left the field In disgust. Large
amounts were bet by the backers of the
Astoria’s, and the only way they saw to
prevent losing: their money was to leave the
field. On Tuesday, the largest crowd ever
seen in attendance at a ball match, gathered
to witness the playing between the two clubs.
The Astorias played three “imported" men,
but after the first inning, in which? they scor-
ed two, they failed to make a run. The
Nationals scored twenty-one. Bannon is a
fixture in Washington, and his pitching has
interested the ball player to I. degree not
known there before in several years.

- WILTON, Sept. 20, 1877.

EDI'rons or .Gazn'r'rn :—In your issue of
the 18th an article in relation to Charles _H.
Cooke is, in all essential points, erroneous.
He dId not plead guilty to embezzlement of
$250 In postage stamps in March, but posi-
tively refused to plead guilty to embezzle-
ment of any thing at an! time, or any'
amount, although urged to 0 so as a ‘matter'
of policy by his friends. He did plead guil-
ty to thecharge of wilful neglect of duty, no
more, no less. _ .

The few intelligent persons in Wilton, who
understandhis case in all its bearings, are
unanimouslyof the o inion that young Cooke
Is sufienng unjustly or the acts of others.
The whole facts of thezcase will, in due time,
be made public through the State Courts.

.Our time-honored place for holding State

year to be forsaken. The selectmen have
given notice that the polls for the election
next Monday,.wm be open at Room 3, Music

which St. Paul was cast away.” As the

Messrs. Entrees:—

During the past week I have visit-
ed the section of Michigan where the
Parallel Planed Shingle arc manufac-
tured, and have carefully watched
the transfer of a tree from the forest
into Shingles, packed in cars ready

for shipment.

The logs, as drawn to the mill, are
twelve to sixteen feet in length.
First cutoff in eighteen inch lengths,
they are then- peeled not only of the
bark, but also of a ring of from one
to two inches of sap. . They are then
quartered, and thus made ready for
the Shingle saw. Standing on end
they are sawed lengthways and from
circumference to center, the feed al-
ternating with every Shingle, so that
the saw runs straight with the grain

of the wood. From thesawcr the

' In
shingles pass to the jointer, which
consists of, two saws on one shaft,
the one fixed the other movable.

Passing between these saws the

f- shingle is made perfectly straight,

and the edges absolutely parallel.
Passing then to the single saw joint-
er, they are sorted, the calls reject-
ed, the good ones trimmed again if
any defect is overlooked in the for-
mer operation, and then handed over
to the planer. Here they. are sur-
faced oh both sides,.again.sorted and

passed dorm stairs to the packers.

Here again sorted they are packed

in bunches, ready'for shipment, and

branded “Oscar F can. War-ranted

After watching Ill-e whole opera-

“Mr. Hill, I aim Iatimaking a perfect.
shingle. Possible an imperfect one
maybe packed in the Planed Shingle,
but I do not see how it can. At any
rate, you can warrant. them free from
sap, shake, knot or taper, or any oth-
er imperfection whatever, and you
can tell your customers'to count out
and return to you any shingles not.
coming up to this standard, and I

will pay for them.”

Such "a shingle as this I am selling
at ‘a less price than the common
sawed shingle was sold for twenty
years ago. I know of no other
maker who manufactures a double

saw-jointed Planed Shingle.
