BURLINGTON, Sept 10th, 1909.
Dear Herald 1T is not our intention
to give you AN account of the cattle or the
result of the trot.
The trotting came off to-day when we
were examining the exhibits the Floral
and Mechanics Halls. An allusion to
some of the articles in the latter will form
the principal part of this letter. We
took "A hasty look at the cattle but found
them too numerous and varied in their
aharacl,r for Us to examine and report
upon in the little time spared ms from
other duties. The show of cattle il
greater. we are told, than was ever ex-
hlb,ted at any previous fair in our State
Sheds were being bnilt to-day for the ac.
cmmodation Of stock yet unprovided for
amoug which were the Ayrshires, which
nnc dryly said, were the only kind of i'm
;,rted stock that could endure out-of
door exposure without injury. I was not
going to speak Of Stock, but u articles il
the Mechanics HILL
AZ tho west end are more carriages than
We eyer saw exhibited at "A fair in thu
St4te-and most of thea are OF exquisite
finish. Many Of tho top bugxies can be
snvle or double. Rev Harvey Webster
Of C,mhriige, Vt, has thill! coupler
which is not only noiseleas, but il dur tbie
and the most ea-ily adjusted of any cou-
