NOV 18 1909 INVITATION As a finished, accepted institution THE CONNECTICUT FAIR opens its second season and extends its invitations to the Connecticut public, spectators and exhibitors alike. One season of feverish activity, in which every effort was bent to give to the people of Connecticut the greatest fair which they had ever seen, and in which the enthusiasm and the expenditures of the promoters, the unending pains of the managers, and the loyal backing of the great Connecticut public were all joined to one end, brought the enterprise to a triumphal success which seemed like the efforts of years, so that now the exposition needs no intro- duction except that of the high standard already established and which it is in- tended to surpass. On September 6, 1909, The Connecticut Fair Association will open its second Annual Fair as the greatest amusement and industrial exposition of New England, the center of the great agricultural interests, the culmination of the harvest season, the Mecca of the stock-raising activities, the hearthstone of the home interests, and the high tide of the amusement enterprises of the state. The Fair of the people, by the people, for the people, to adapt the words of him who was himself a man of the people; the triumphal arch of the farm, the dairy, the city and the town; the gathering place of the men from the plough and the men from the desk — this is the ideal of the Connecticut Fair in its second season. And to reach this ideal it sends its invitation to the stock-raiser, to the horseman, to the gardener, to the manufacturer, to the sheep-breeder, to the poultryman, to the housewife, and to the school child, each to lend his or her aid to build up the mighty column which shall symbolize the year's activities within the state. By the offerings of the farms, by the exhibits from the stables, from the granaries, the sheep-folds, and the farmhouses, will be formed the great show rings which shall exemplify the mightiness of the Connecticut farms and homes. And when they are gathered will come the thousands to see the work of their own hands and of their neighbors, to rejoice in the land and the richness of its output, and to spend a week in which pleasure, amusement, entertainment will be found in its highest exposition; in which the wonders of America and Europe, the thrills of the most daring and the most novel performers of this and other lands, the most unique, the most wonderful sights of all countries will be gathered for one great week of pleasure and sight-seeing. They will come to an exposition in which every interest from the most modest to the most preten- tious will find something to satisfy every wish. The finest horses of America — trotters, pacers and dashing runners ridden by their clinging jockeys; cattle, the finest which the land can offer; sheep, the choicest which the pastures of the nation can produce; poultry, in numbers and varieties of which even the fancier can hardly dream; agricultural products, grain, vegetables and fruits, in pyramids and quantities like those of fable and story; products of the home, the dainty handwork of the wives and daughters — all these will be shown in numbers and in qualities which will astound even those to whom expositions of the kind are no new story. 4 ENTRIES CLOSE AUGUST i8th, 1909 $75,000.00 has been voted by the management, this season, for the premiums for the races and for the different exhibits, divided into classes so minute and so accurate that each and every exhibit will compete, fairly, against exhibits of its own kind. And although among the exhibits there will be some in which a whole fortune is represented, yet the smallest product, the smallest bit of handiwork on which someone has expended pains and forethought, will be most respectfully considered. For, as this is an exposition for the people, it is meant to include the work of all the people. Therefore let stock farm, pasture, dairy, orchard, apiary, poultry house, and kitchen present each the best of its kind to compete in this the greatest country fair of all New England. The Connecticut Fair this year receives the public on its own grounds, pur- chased after the brilliant success of the initial season, and realize that besides the exhibits of interest and instruction it must have others which are pure amuse- ment, great enough and many enough to pack a whole week with solid enjoyment. To this end the managers have secured a list of amusements which shall be, at the one time, so novel, so thrilling as to hold the interest of the most sated amusement-seeker, but which at the same time will appeal to the purest, the most refiened of tastes represented in the Connecticut public. An entertainment as brilliant and as refined as the names which stand back of it — this is the ideal which the Connecticut Fair amusements will follow. If in the first year's enthusiasm there crept in some parasitic amusements of which the taste was questionably questionable, the year's experience has taught their harm, and this season a ruthless hand will shear away anything which is not good and whole- some. Pure sport will be represented in the highest terms — the grand circuit races, athletic events, a horse show under the direction of that peerless horseman, Francis M. Ware, in which will be the aristocrats of the society ring, the stock farm and the polo field. There will be thrilling running races by the best thor- oughbreds of the eastern tracks — all seen as at no other fair in this part of the country. In addition there will be numberless spectacular entertainments — Kemp's great Wild West Show with its daring cowboys, its Indians, its stage- coach robbery, its never-tiring exhibits of life on the western plains. The fearless Greggs will show for the first time the most daring act which the world has ever seen, in which one woman in an automobile makes a triple somersault in the air, while another shoots apparently to certain death beneath her. The flying Dor- dens, the aero artists, and hundreds of other expositions will make up a week's solid pleasure. And, properly to crown an exposition of the whole state, the chief executive — Governor Frank B. Weeks — will patronize the Fair with his presence and that of his entire staff and his bodyguard, to give his final sanction to the great fair of his state — Connecticut. This, then, is the invitation to one and all. The Connecticut Fair sends its greeting.

THE fact that the cement used on teeth is a perfect preservative makes the new gold inlay work which has to be put in with cement very permanent. Dr. E. B. Abbey, Sage-Allen Building, is doing a great deal of this work. It does away with a great deal of drilling (which means much less pain), the annoying rubber dam, and the tedious hammering incident to the old method of filling with gold. It also makes possible the arrest with gold of decay that reaches well in under the gums and heretofore has been inac- cessible. Step into Dr. Abbey's office and let him explain these new fillings to you. ARENn: YOU NEARLY READY ?

The following extract from the rules of the Cat Fanciers' Association should be read carefully by all intending exhibitors, as they will be strictly enforced: CAT FANCIERS' ASSOCIATION SHOW RULES Article I — Definitions Section i. The word cat is used in these rules to indicate a domesticated feline of either sex, or a neuter, of adult age. A kitten is an immature cat under the age of eight months. To be eligible for showing, a kitten must be not less than four nor more than eight months old on the opening day of the show. Sec. 2. An American bred cat is a cat born in the United States or Canada of a dam owned in the United States or Canada at the time of mating. Sec. 3. The breeder of a cat is the person who owns or leases the dam at the time of mating. Article II — Eligibility for Exhibition Cats or kittens entered for competition must be the bona fide property of the person making the entry. If ownership be transferred prior to the opening of the show, said transfer must be reported to the show manager and prizes will be paid or delivered accordingly, but such transfer of ownership will not be considered in allotting any prize for '" display."

Applicants for entries of cats or kittens at shows held under these rules must agree to abide b}' the rules, and must give the name of cat and, when possible, date of birth, names of sire and dam and of breeder and owner. Sec. 2. The date of closing entries having been duly announced, the show management cannot be compelled to accept entries made or mailed after noon of Ihat date, postmarks to be accepted as evidence. Entries offered by telegraph, or subsequent to the hour of closing, may be accepted or rejected at the option of the show manager, without assigning reasons for such action. Sec. 3. Cats entered for competition and present cannot be withdrawn prior to the judging without the consent of the show committee, unless the advertised judge does not officiate. In such case, the exhibitor may declare his cat " for exhibition only," and shall have a right to place a sign to that effect on the animal's cage, that exhibitors may know that said cat has not been defeated. In such case, if a catalogue is issued, stating awards, the word " withdrawn " must be set opposite the cat's name. Article IV — Classification Section i. Three classes shall be recognized for each type: Open, Novice, and Kitten. Sec. 2. The Open Class is for cats of either sex over eight months old. Sec. 3. The Novice Class is for cats over eight months old that have never won a first prize at any sanctioned show in the United States or Canada. Cats imported from England may not be termed novices. Sec. 4. The Kitten Class is for any kitten not less than four nor more than eight months old on opening day of the show. Article VII — Veterinarian Section i. A properly qualified veterinarian shall examine each cat prior to the beginning of the judging and shall disqualify any cat which may have any form of contagious disease. All cats considered by the veterinarian to be in good health shall have cards to that effect attached to their cages. In the absence of this card the Cat may not be judged. Sec. 2. Any exhibitor suspecting any cat of having contagious disease during the show may report the same to the show committee and it will be the duty of the show committee to remove such cat to a cage in a room apart from the regular show room until the veterinary shall pass upon the health of the suspected animal. Should the veterinary find it necessary he shall have power to order the immediate removal of any sick cat from the show. Such cat shall be entitled to all prizes allotted to it prior to the decision of the veterinary. Article VIII — Disqualification Section i. Should any cat be wrongly entered or entered contrary to the rules, upon protest being lodged, the show committee, by a majority vote, shall have the right to disqualify such exhibits. Sec. 2. In case of disqualification, the animal next best shall be given the prize, as though the disqualified animal had never been in competition. 58 ENTRIES CLOSE AUGUST 25th, 1909 m For 75 YEARS the LEADING PRINTERS in Connecticut The Case, Lockwood & Brainard Co.

All entries must be made on the regular entry blanks, furnished by the show management, and must be mailed not later than the date of closing of entries, which must be stated on the entry blank. The management reserves the right to reject any entry without assigning any reason. Rule 2. The entry fee or fees must accompany the application for entry. Out of town checks should have ten cents added for cost of collection, but money orders or express drafts will be accepted. Rule 3. If the entry is accepted, a receipt will be forwarded, together with shipping tags. Each shipping tag must bear the name of the cat and the number of its cage. Exhibitors who do not personally accompany their cats should attach a number or other distinguishing mark to the cat's neck by a ribbon, to facilitate correct benching. Rule 4. Where cats are shipped by express, the return express address must be written on the reverse of the express tag. Rule 5. Cats will be fed and cared for by the committee, unless the ex- hibitor prefers to take exclusive charge of his exhibits, in which case the com- mittee is relieved of this responsibility. Rule 6. The management will take all reasonable pains to properly care for cats, hampers, etc., but it is expressly stipulated that the show manage- ment, or the club, cannot be held liable pecuniarily for loss or accident to cats at any time; nor for loss of or damage to hampers, crates or other receptacles. Rule 7. Show officials must not transfer cats wrongly entered as to type. Exhibitors must themselves decide as to the types of their exhibits, and must abide by their own errors of judgment. Cats wrongly entered as to type will be marked " wrong class." Rule 8. Judges may withhold awards if in their judgment the exhibits have not sufficient merit. Judges may mark "wrong class" against exhibits wrongly entered as to type or sex. But questions as to age or eligibility to novice, kitten or special classes must be referred to the show committee, who shall investigate the matter. The class must be judged as though the doubtful exhibits were eligible, and one additional award allotted, so that in case the protested animal is disqualified, the regular list of awards may be made. Rule 9. Judging must begin promptly at the hour advertised. The judge need not judge in accordance with the order in the catalogue, at the outset, but may begin with any classes where all entries are present. Having finished with such classes, he must then proceed with the unjudged classes in the order of the catalogue. No further latitude than the above mentioned shall be accorded to late arrivals. Rule 10. In case of the absence of the regularly appointed judge, the show committee may appoint a substitute judge. In such case, exhibitors may decline to allow their entries to compete, but may not remove them from the show for this reason. Rule II. The colors for ribbons or cards designating prizes shall be as follows: First prize, dark blue; second, red; third, yellow; fourth, or V. H. C, green. Specials, white or a rosette of club colors with white streamers. Rule 12. Prior to the judging there shall be no decorations on cages which indicate the identity of the cattery or exhibitor. 6o ENTRIES CLOSE AUGUST 25th, 1909 THE L. C. DANIELS GRAIN CO.

It is used at the leading Poultry Shows and in the foremost Poultry Yards throughout the world. It is an egg producer, and it will materially increase the percent- age of fertility in the eggs. At first sight this food may appear too expensive to use, but it need only be fed once a day and can be mixed with equal parts of corn, oats, and wheat ground together, and in this way is one of the very best and most economical foods that can be obtained. SPRATT'S CHICK MEAL No. 5 should be fed to the little chicks from the time they are 30 or 36 hours old until they reach maturity. It comes nearer to nature than any food that we know of, and since it is thor- oughly cooked, it is easily digested and it will give the young birds a start in life that no other food will. SPRATT'S CHICGRAIN is the best dry Chick Food that can be compounded, and it is the cheapest, because none but the best can be the cheapest. CHICGRAIN is a perfectly-balanced, semi-cooked partly malted grain, insect and vegetable ration, easily digested and highly nutritious. Send for Catalogue "Poultry Culture."
