WHITE RIVER VALLEY FAIR,
AT BETHEL, SEPT. 1920.
The SPIRIT ofMc Age says of this Fair

The SPIRIT ofMe Age says of this Fair:
The White River Valley Fair at Bethel,
last week, was u complete success, the bad
weather on the first and second days not
withstanding. If you want success i'm any
particular thing, employ competent and eX-
perienced men to manage tiff you don't
understand the business yoursef-then rive
them your laid and comfort" and success is
sure. This is what the citizens of Bethel did,
and the result was II good Far-the best
ever held in Windsor County. The fair was
not II family affair, but was made to be of
interest or profit to every man in theValley.
No labor or expense was spared to secure
this object, and we are glad to know that
the managers had their reward i'm seeing n
good exhibition, and at the close, the where
withal to pay their bills and premiums.
Another thing which the Bethelonians are
entitled to credit for, and that is that they
did not skin people from abroad of all
their "scrip" while they sojourned with them,
II thing too common on such occasions.
We predict for the Valley Fair, mt Bethel,
under the present managers, long life and
usefulness
We notice among the stock ut this Fair
were the short-horn herd of Shedd & Van
Sicklen, of Burlington; Devons from the
herd of Gov. Hyde, of Connectcut Mr..
Obed Whipple, Jr's and Mr.. II. w. Walls
Jerseys from Pomflet. and Mr.. Drew of
Burlingtons Ayrshires There was good
show of horses. The Merinos of Mr. Perkins
and Mr.. Fuller, of Pomfret which we saw ut
Lowell and st Johnsbury, also took the pre-
miums ut Bethel. There was some fair trot-
ting in which Mr.. Walkers "Jim Fisk Mr.
Harpin's american Boy and Mr.. Howe's
Ludlow Boy" were prominent.

THE WEATHERSFIELD FAIR,
AT PERKINsvILLE, SEPT. 2o-2l.

The Woodstock papers report of the Per-
kinsville Fair. that it was n success in every
particular. The first day being rather cold
and cloudy, not many appeared on the ground
but the second day the end OF the procession
filed in about IL A. NJ, there being about
5000 on the ground. The procession of oxen
in the afternoon was grand display. There
was good attendance and the Floral Hall
contained various articles of fine workman
manship, and beautiful boquets of flowers.
There was also II good show of fruit and 9TH
er products. Among the large productions
was "A potato raised by Lewis Amlow weigh
ing two pounds and seven ounces, and q
squash by Luther p. Warren, weighing 1914
pounds. The show of horses was as good as
was that of oxen. Remarks were made by
ex-Gov. Fletcher and Hon. w. NJ. Pingry,
and excellent music by the Woodstock Band.

BLACK RIVER VALLEY FAIR.

This fair opened with bad weather and
slim attendance. On the afternoon of the
first day there was drawing match of oxen
which attracted considerable attention and
was well contested. This was followed by
a trial of the Holbrook Swivel Plow, on u
meadow near the ground. The trial seemed
very satisfactory to all. The pillow worked
better mt depth of nine inches than ut six,
leaving the turf well turned and mellow.
This trial terminated the fair for that day
On the second day the weather was fair,
and there was II good show with good attend
ance. Some fine horses and horned stock
were shown, with good number of sheep
and swine. There was some trotting but
little excitement over it. The crowd was
quite large and very orderly; no disturb
ance of any kind marring the pleasure of the
day.
