DELANSON
— Wednesday night, the people of this village were aroused about one o’clock by the ringing of the fire bell. The fire proved to be in a D. & H. box car filled with merchandise of a great variety. They took the burning car out of the train and let it down toward the crossing so that they could turn the water on it. People who saw it said it was a pretty sight. It looked like a great house moving all on fire. It was not long before it was extinguished, but considerable damage was suffered by car and contents. 

— The Ladies Aid will meet in the church hall Thursday, October 1, to tie quilts. All are urged to attend. 

— Our village school was closed Wednesday to allow the pupils and teachers to attend the Altamont fair. 

COUNTY FAIR HAS A
SUCCESSFUL WEEK
When the gates swing shut on the Albany-Schenectady fair this afternoon, they will do so on the biggest and most successful county fair held in Altamont in its history. 

As the Enterprise goes to press, the association is staging a large purebred dog show of all sorts and kinds that are representative of their classes.

Wednesday and Thursday were the big attendance days. Where to park the thousands of autos that came was a problem, but with the aid of the state troopers the matter was handled very satisfactorily. The attendance of these two days is estimated at over 30,000. 

The excellent free attraction program given this year deserves special mention. California Frank with his wonderful rodeo program more than pleased the crowded grand stands. Then there were the Valentinos, aerialists; the DeKoch Troupe of acrobats, and Miss Hettie Delmar, soprano soloist. Seven state troopers staged a riding act each day, performing several difficult stunts. 

The midway was larger than ever, with five rides, shows and many concessioners, and the public seemed to enjoy spending their money and carrying away the prizes. 

The Red Cross activities of the week have been a great feature of the fair. These activities included the Child Health conference, and the First Aid and Scout demonstrations. 

VILLAGE NOTES 

Reports on the condition of Kermit Sturges, who is in the Albany City hospital, are not very encouraging at present. Kermit suffered a crushed back bone in an automobile accident two weeks ago. His friends are urged to visit him at the hospital and help to keep him cheerful, which is necessary if he is to make good on the slight chance he has for recovery.
