South Craftsbury Sept. 9th and 10th,
and the first day was total failure ow-

good; a large and superior show of

good, though the trotting was below the

hibition by A. A. Randall of Crafts5ury
of n ''baby team consisting of three
calves yoked to small cart and driven
by his little boy six years old. The cart
was trimmed with evergreens and bore
three little girls. The youngster drove
