GOOD WEATHER FAVORED THE ALBANY COUNTY FAIR 

Ideal weather, large crowds, good racing and fine exhibits have been features of the twenty-seventh annual fair of the Albany County Agricultural society, which is being held at Altamont this week. The fair management has never enjoyed a week more favorable in respect to weather. Rain fell on Monday and Tuesday, the “get-ready” days of the fair, but Wednesday and Thursday were perfect days and Friday gives promise of being another summer day. The days have been just cool enough for comfort, the excessive heat of the former August fair days being absent. 

The principal attraction Thursday was the aerial flights made by a machine of the Schenectady Aerial company. The crowd was thrilled by several flights which were made over the fair grounds and village during the afternoon. Many stunts, including daring loops, dives, tail spins and other difficult feats, were performed for the entertainment of the many thousands of spectators below. With hardly a cloud in the sky the maneuvers executed by the plane, with the beautiful Helderbergs for a background, were an inspiring sight. A number of persons were offered a free ride, but no one had courage enough to accept the offer. 

CLARKSVILLE.

Some one has been very accommodating in picking Mrs. J. B. Livingston’s prunes up on the hill at her farm. When she went for them they were gone. 

KNOX. 

A class in Home Nursing under the auspices of the Albany County Chapter American Red Cross is about to be formed at Knox. Anyone desiring to join the class should communicate with Mrs. William Wood or Mrs. Stanley Williams before September 24, 1919. It is earnestly requested that every grown girl and woman in the community will avail themselves of this excellent opportunity to learn how to take care of the sick in her home. 

CENTRAL BRIDGE. 

— On Monday $23,000 was distributed among the patrons at the milk station for August milk. 

— Mr. and Mrs. Russell Devon of Schoharie had a narrow escape from being instantly killed on Sunday night. As they were crossing the D. & H. tracks near their home the engine of their auto stalled and they, seeing this, jumped quickly from the machine and thus saved their lives. The train struck the auto hurling it far into the air and leaving it a complete wreck. 

FOUND — In Altamont on Thursday, a child’s locket with cord attached. The owner may have same by describing property and paying charges.
