"Wo will have a total attendance close to 15,00 today,' said Treasurer
F..C. Adams this noon after he had scrutinized the mass of humanity that was
surging over the Valley fair groimds and then glanced at the stream of automo
biles, carriages and pedestrians that was (lowing steadily into the main gate.
There was no occasion to doubt this assertion. If over a crowd gave tne
appearance or being a ro.-or.l-breaKor it was the one which weniloil its way up
Canal street from early this morning until long after the time sot tor the be
ginning of the track events. As early as S o'clock th- horde of licensed vehicles
on hand to help solve the transportation problem foe. ml business ''rushing'' in
the literal sense of the term, and the rush-increased in intensity as the hours
wore on. in truth, a kuoi I ro nion.-e must nave noveieti over tne scone to leave
reveiitod any serious casualty. The speed .with which visitors wore whisked
from Main street bridge to the main gate of the fair grounds was little short
of terrifying and yet no serious accident happened.
The parade of decorated automobiles took place shortly after scheduled
ime and as usual prove1. 1 an attractive feature of the day's program. Much or
ginality was displayed in the embellishment of many of the machines and
the applause which thov brought forth was well merited. But the crowd ud
not eonline itself to watching the automobiles; its interests wore far too varied.
In fact, there wasn't, a single department that did not find itself literally over-
llowed with visitors.
As was the case yesterday, the "Made in Brat t leboro ' ' exhibit was one of
the most attractive places on the grounds, and townspeople as well as visitors
xprossod surprise at the variety and oxcelloe.ee of the pro. lifts shown.
Soon sifter the decorated automobiles had left the track the entries for the
riving classes made their appearance and served to interest the spectators
until time for the lirst heat of the initial race, the 2.14 slake pace.
Gov. Allen M. Fletcher arrived in Brat t leboro this afternoon to attend the
fair. He was mot at the station bv President F. II. O Connor and Secretary O.
F. Benson of the fair association. Senator 11. G. Barber and Representative E. C.
Crosbv. Upon arrival the governor ami his party wore escorted to the lair
grounds where thov occupied special seats, and during the afternoon the chief
executive made a brief speech.

be found m todav s issue together with a list, ot the premium awards in the

Daring Robbers Loot Fred Bromley's
Trousers of $170.
RUTLAND, Sept., 24.Rutland coun
ty officials are busy attempting to pet
a clue to the thief or thieves who com
pleted a daring robbery when ' Fred
Bromley and bis father, Frank Brom
ley.of Danby were relieved of nearly
$175. The burglars, however, missed
nearly $1,000 in bills which were hid
den away in a drawer at the home of
the elder Bromley, where the two men
slept on the night of the theft.
Accords? to-the sfdry f oh! by the
Bromleys, they retired as usual Satur
day night and when they awoke, Fred
Bromlev- missed about $170 and his
father was minus what small change
he carried in a pocket book. The larsrer
sum of money was in the trousers
pocket of the younger man and these,
when he went to bed, were left on a
chair in the bedroom. In the morning
they were in another room and the
money was missing. The elder Bromley
had a small pocketbook and in this he
had about .$1 in change and some kevs.
These keys were taken from the book
and one of them fitted a desk and sev
eral of the compartments were ran
sacked. But the burglars overlooked
a big roll of bills in one place in the
room and it is claimed that this haul
would have netted the night prowlers
over $(rt.
It is supposed the burglars gained
entrance through the front door as
both men stated this was not locked
on Saturday night.

Fine Performance Given in Auditorium
Last Night Another Tonight.
An audience of sizable proportions
attended the performance of The
Spring Maid in the Auditorium last
evening and were enjoyably entertain
ed by the cood work of "a comnanv
headed by Miss Hattye Fox. The
music of this opera is in large part
familiar and the setting in which it
was gjven lent added charm to its
rendition. Miss Fox herself made an
agreeabe Princess Bozena and her ren
dition of Day Dreams was perhaps the
most enjoyable of her several numbers
although the duet, Two Little Love
Bees, in which she took part, was also
well received. Miss Jean Irwin as
Annomirl was very good too, while D.
W. Merket in the rough and ready
comedy role of Roland and Stephen
Stott as Baron Itudi contributed plen
ty of fun to the performance. The
piece was well .staged and costumed
and on the whole furnished a very
satisfactory evening. It will . be re
peated tonight and should draw a large
house.
