. THE STATE FAIR.
Good Trotting and a Laree Attend
ance Scenes At the Town Hall
General Interest In the Display
Many Noteworthy Incidents or the
- Day.
- The second day of the State fair was as
pleasant and agreeable as the first, and the
present indications are that the fair will not
be broken np by a rain storm as two years
ago, and the prospects now are a grand sac-
cess. Early yesterday morning the officers were
on the grounds arranging every detail, so
that the exhibitor and the sightseer could
not complain. The exhibitors were all busy
arranging and rearranging their exhibits to
show to the best advantage. The attendance
at the park was over 5,000 persons and about
800 teams, and a more orderly crowd never
gathered in the park than there was yester
day. The poultry exhibition was the largest
ever given at the State fair, and some of the
rarest fowls were on exhibition. The largest
exhibitors of pigeons were the Diamond
Poultry yard of Bridgeport, (Seeley & Pat
terson, proprietors), showing 72 pair. A
new imported breed of geese known as the
Langshang, a black fowl, were shown
by Seeley & Patterson of Bridgeport, . and
C. P. Hobart of Southington.
In a large tent were shown a large variety
of labor-saving farming implements from the
leading manufacturers of New England, R.
B. Bradley of this city having an exhibit.
In this tent was where the farmer could be
found and he was sure to linger until every
point on each machine was explained,
A notable attraction was the famous stal
lion Buckingham and his get, among which
was a handsome pair over 15J hands high.
THE RACES 2:40 CL?SS PURSE $300.
In the 2:40 class William Reynolds' Ches
terfield. J. S. Sackett's Jack and David
Strong's Fanny Burrough were 'withdrawn.
The first heat was easily won by Rosebud,
who was (riven first by an error of Ace of
Spades, who was the favorite of this race.
The second heat was easily won by Ace of
Spades, although in scoring he was in the
rear, but took the pole after the first half
mile. In the third heat Ace of Spades took
the pole and won the heat easily, his driver
holding him in as he did in the second heat
and nearly walking him under the wire.
In the last heat after the second turn Ce
leste caught her foot in one of her boots and
fell, throwing her driver, Nelson Hinkley, of
this city, over her head. She bruised her
left knee, from which blood flowed freely.
The driver was not hurt. The score was as

In this race Busby was withdrawn. After
several attempts the horses were given the
word. Boss H. took the pole and kept it
to the finish. The second heat was a repeti

the four first horses coming under the wire
in a bunch. The third heat was won bv
Boss H., who was given the first money;
Harry B. second money; Cedar Jack third

THE SCENE AT THE TOWS HALL.
The Town Hall is as heretofore the center
of attraction for ladies. The galleries present
an array of elegant fabrics, nearly every ex
hibit having a special point,as the exhibitors
will tell you, above its competitor. The
exhibits are principally from Meriden and
the near towns. The vegetables are shown
in a tent erected on the lawn adjacent to the
building and one can see apples, pears,
plnms, grapes, potatoes, beats, turnips, cab
bage, onions and in fact everything that one
can find in the garden and specimens as the
judges say that excel any exhibit ever given
at the State fair. E. M. Ives, E. A.- Birdsey ,
L. Birdsey ,of Meriden, and E. C. Hall, of
Berlin, are the chief exhibitors. The man
ufacturers of Meriden all make large exhibits
as well as the merchants. One particularly
attractive feature at the hall was the stage
where floral exhibits were made.
NOTES.
Between the races at the' park the Hay
ward hand-grenade and the Har
den hand-grenade were exhibited,
a fire being built and extinguished.
At two trials the Hay ward has done its work
as effectually as the Harden with less gren
ades. A lady fell down the stairs at Town Hall
yesterday, severely bruising herself. No
bones were broken.
The officers of the association are highly
complimented on the way theyhave attended
to the details of the fair.
A lady returning from the hall at early
evening was hit by a stone in the head. The
wound bled profusely, but was not
serious.

COMMITTEE ON SQUARES.
Application or the United Society To
Uulld an Addition to Their Chnrch
on the Green Voted To Recom
mend. -
The Committee on Squares held a meeting
in rooms 10 and 11, City Hall, last evening,
Alderman Piatt presiding.
The principal business before the commit
tee was to hear the petition of the United or
North church to build an addition to their
church edifice on the Green, which is to ex
tend about thirty-five feet to the rear of the
present building and to be of the same width.
Walter B. Law was the first to advocate
the. petition. He read from ancient records
to show that the church hod a right to occupy
the ground where the- church now stood. He
said that the enlargement was absolutely
needed for Sunday school purposes. .
Judge L. E. Munson and William B.
Franklin also spoke in favor of the peti
tion. Eli W. Blake said it was a question wheth
er the Common Council had a right to give
away the public lands for churches or any
other purpose. He questioned the right of
the Common Council in giving Trinity church
even the right to build a chancel at the rear
of their church, although it was claimed they
had this right. He said if the city had a
rierht to give away public land they had
right to give it away for manufacturing pur
poses as well as tor cnurcnes. tie saia ne rep
resented otuer property owners as well
himself. If a building was put up as pro
posed then the property on the street oppo
site will depreciate. He hoped this com
mittee would pause long before they gave
away ony of the squares for public pur
poses. Dr. Carmolt opposed the project of adding
any buildings to the public squares, tie said
if this privilege was' granted there was no
knowing where the matter would stop.
George W. Curtis favored the grant to the
United church, as it would bring the Third
church, now used for Sunday school purpo
ses, into market, which would be taxed and
bring a-revenue to the city thereby.
In executive session it was voted to recom
mend that the petition be granted. There
was a tie vote on the motion, which was dis
solved by the chairman.
In regard to the petition for the removal of
stone posts at the walk entrances to public
squares it was voted to recommend that the
petitioners be given leave to witnoraw.
The petitions for the removal of the present
bond stand on the Green and the erection of a
new band structure at a cost of $1,200 in
front of the Center church were both tabled
for future consideration.
THE SCHOOL TAXES.
Adjourned School Meeting: at Loomis
Temple of Music A Three Mill Tax
Ordered.
The adjourned school meeting of the New
Haven school district was held in Looinis'
yesterday morning. Charles K. Whedon
acted as moderator.
L. W. Sperry introduced a vote ordering
that a three mill tax be laid on the rateable
estate of the school district of New Haven on
the grand list.
George Hotchkiss, 2d, moved to amend by
making the tax two and one-half mills and
was seconded in his motion by Frederick
Botsford.
Harmanus M. Welch said that the schools
could not be run for much less than three
mills. The district owed $85,000 and if any
money was saved on the three mill tax it
would be used to reduce that debt and it was
thought that between $15,000 and 20,000
could be paid. Mr. Welch said that none of
the money would be squandered.
Mr. Hotchkiss obtained the floor and said
that as he understood it the Board had been
raising the salaries of feochers. "I don't be
lieve in running the High school," he said.
"I think it ought to be a common school. To
pay a salary of $3,000 is like drawing blood
out of the taxpayers."
Mr. Botsford in seconding Mr. Hotchkiss'
amendment said that the school system
should be run as economically and on the
same plan as a private enterprise. The peo
ple were overburdened with taxes and it was
driving business industries away from New
Haven.
Maier Zunder replied by saying that he
was as much in favor of economy as any tax
payer. As a member of the Board of Edu
cation he could say that as much economy
had been practiced as anywhere else.- He
referred to the fact that two new schools
would be needed shortly; one in the Win
chester and the other in the Washington
district. He deplored any step that would
interfere with the education of the children,
or the usefulness of the High school where
so many girls were educated.
"I believe that the citizens of New Haven
think a great deal of their children," said
John G. North, "and I know a good many
people who come to Ne"w Haven on account
of our good schools. If there is to be any
economy don't let it be on the children. If
you are going to scrimp the children you are
going to make poor citizens. If you take
care of them and educate them yon will haVe
good citizens and good mothers."
Joseph D. Plnnkett spoke earnestly in be
half of the High school and the great good
accomplished there. Those who spoke about
economy had not, he thought, given the mat
ter the careful investigation it deserved. If
there were any charges of extravagance
against the members of the board they ought
to be made at the meeting.
Ja. W. Sperry thought it was a good thing
to discuss the matter thoroughly, but he
thought that the Board of Education should
be sustained.
After one or two others had spoken on the
subject the question was called for. Mr.
Hotchkiss' amendment was voted down and
a three mill tax was ordered laid.
The bonds of the treasurer and collector
were placed at $40,000 and the board was
authorized to expend not over $3,000 for a
school lot in the Winchester district.
Alderman Spreyer then introduced the
following:
Voted That the Board of Education pro
cure direct from the publishing houses all
books required by the scholars of our pnblio
schools, and furnish the same through the
several principals or the secretary of the
board to the parents or scnoiars as coss price.
Mr. Hotchkiss moved to table and Mr.
Zunder said he thoucht it would a pretty ex
pensive undertaking, as the services of sev
eral clerks would be required.
Mr. Plnnkett obtained the floor ana saia
that the resolution of Alderman Spreyer was
one that ought to be referred to the board.
He made a motion to that effect and it was
carried, after which the meeting adjourned.
Prominent. Citizens Address the In-
geraoll Phalanx. -
The Ingersoll Phalanx held a public meet
ing last evening.- Ex-Mayor L. W. Sperry
was chairman. The meeting was addressed
by Mayor Lewis, J. B. Sargent, Joel Sperry
and L. W. Sperry.
Mr. Sargent occupied an hour in advocat
ing free trade and arguing that under high
protective tariff the workingmen were-cnt
down in their income bo that manufacturers
can compete with British - manufacturers.
ELEVENTH C. V.
The Annual Rennlon Yesterday At
Willlman tic About Fifty of the
Old Veterans Attend Visit To the
Big Mills.
The Eleventh G. V. veterans held their an
nual reunion at Willimautic yesterday upon
invitation of the townspeople, who provided
them a very bounteous spread at the Hotel
Commercial, W. H. Kingman proprietor.
About fifty were present. Upon invitation
of the chief manager the veterans in . a body
visited the great Willimautic thread mills,
and were highly interested in the establish
ment. The business meeting was held in
Grand Army Hall, and the old officers were
re-elected as follows: President, Colonel B.
H. Rice, Pawtucket, E. I.; first vice presi
dent, Captain William G. Dickinson, New
Haven, and one vice president was chosen
from each county. W. W. Fuller, of Nor
wich, Ct., was chosen secretary.
Telegrams of congratulation were received
from the Fourteenth, Sixteenth and Eighth,
all of which held a reunion yesterday.- The
Eighth was brigaded with the Eleventh dur
ing the War. Yesterday was the anniversary
of the battle of Antietam. The Eleventh,
Eighth, Fourteenth and Sixteenth were all in
the battle of Antietam. The Eleventh sent
the following dispatch to the Eighth at
Bridgeport:
: The Eleventh sends greeting to the brave Eighth
on the anniversary of Antietam. United in war we
are not to be divided in peace.
Remarks were made by T. M. Sprague, of
Springfield, a Yale graduate and a lieutenant
in the Eighth; by Vice President Dickinson,
of New Haven, and others. It was voted to
meet again at Willimautic a year from yes
terday. A vote of thanks was tendered the
citizens of Willimantic and another to the
G. A. E. post. - -
STUDENTS RUSHING AND FIGHT
ING. The Customary Rush Just Before the
Opening: of College The Freshmen
Overcome by the Members of the
Sophomores.
In the usual way, according to the good
old custom, the two lower classes of the
academical department of Yale college met
on the Hopkins Grammar school grounds -on
High street lost evening torformally open the
college year by a free for all fight, in which
clothing was torn, hats were stamped upon,
faces were clawed and bodies squeezed and
yanked about and thrown down into the mud
dy grounds to the intense satisfaction of a large
crowd of students,several townspeople,includ-
ing some women and two policemen. The
rival bodies were massed together, the fresh
men being assisted by upper class men who
were solicitous for their welfare and who
gave that incitement without which these
rushes would go the way of other barbarous
customs and become a part of the college
traditions. Whenever the interest lagged
the upper class man was on deck to renew the
struggle by calling on the freshmen to go in.
The freshman, when he went in, found him
sel seized by seventeen sophomores, each one
of whom obtained a firm grip upon some part
of his person and straightway commenced
pulling in his own peculiar way. After be
ing flung back and forth in that way the
freshman genearlly closed and embraced
some three or four of his burly assailants in
the endeavor to throw them down upon the
pavement. But rarely did the freshman
succeed in his laudable endeavors.
The fight was prolonged and
continued down High street to the campus,
ana tne oattieneia was strewn with tresh-
manic remains. Alter the scrimmage was
over and the rushers, wrestlers, pullers and
tearers had departed to the seclusion of their
college rooms to join the wise members of
the faculty in innocent sleep, srnoll boys
went about with a lantern gathering up fallen
treasures. Two of them quarrelled over the
possession of a nice new freshman hat, when
two policemen came along and tola the poor
little boys that they would have to arrest
them unless they stopped making so much
noise.

Blankets.
A good deal has been said lately about
Auction Blankets, as if the mere fact that
certain goods were bought "at auction"
were a sufficient guarantee of their cheap
ness. We have seen lately quantities of dry
eoods sold under the hammer at prices act
ually higher than we had ben paying for the
same goods for weeks before. . The great
thing is to buy your goods at the right mo
ment, and we have done it with regard to
Blankets this year again. We now offer
Blankets at lower prices than those dealers
paid who bought at the early Bales. The
eoods will probably be delivered this week,
but in the meantime our stock in hand is all
marked at correspondingly low figures.
There is no advance in prices as some adver
tisements pretend, but rather lower prices
than before. J. JN. Adam ot Co.
Genuine Rubber.'
There has been great difficulty-, for some
time in getting a really good gossamer water
proof at a moderate price, so much adultera
tion of the rubber having been practiced by
the makers. We have just opened a case of
ladies' gossamers, made of line gingham ana
coated with genuine rubber, well put on. We
can sell them (owing to certain circumstances
in the sale to ns) at $1.50 each, and we
think we are within the mark when we say
they are as good as anything sold lately at
