Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1872-10-25

Inc w eStmlnster town ialr was held
Saturday, Oct. 19th continued from the
day previous on account Of the rain. The
managers were very much disappointed in
not being able to present to those that were
in attendance upon tho grounds the sec
ond day as good a show as they had reason
to expect the first day had the weather been
favorable. Among the stock entered we
noticed very good pair of fat oxen owned
by II. Whitney, weight 1886 lbs. also a
pair of steer calves months old, weighing
902 lbs, and well mated, entered by n. G..
Pierce, which drew considerable attention
and well deserved praise. Two very fine
bull calves, thoroughbred, were entered by
Robert Elwel of Langdon, n. II. The ex-
ercises of the day consisted in the parade
of cattle, driving Of horses in pairs and
single, horse trot and foot race. In the hall
the ladies made very creditable display
of fancy articles, household goods and rel
les of the past. The show of fruit was very
| good. NJ. Page entered forty varieties of
apples, four of pears, and one transpar
ent crab apple. The ladies received in all
about s75 in return for refreshments served
to the satisfaction of all who were wiae
enough to parake. The day passed with
out AN accident, and all seemed to enjoy
the mselves, especially while partaking of
the choice viands offered by the ladies. Be
low we give the
