SECOND DAY.
As stated last week, the second days pro
ceedings called together from 1000 to 1900
people. considerable number of cattle were
presented at the traders convention, but the
sales were not as numerous as some had an
ticipated 1t should BE- remembered that the
convention WAS an experiment with the far
mors, and not a few failed to appreciate the
plan. Had the owners of property in other
departments shown an equal interest in max
ing the day one of general exchange the sales
would have been more extended. Geo. W.
Pierce sold three pairs OF steers at good prices
one to Chas. Williams one to +. Arnold, and
one to II. Miller also three-fourths blood
Jersey COW to l.. c. Richardson. Chas Viii
lard sold 3-ycor. old heifer and calf to J. r.
Morse, The horse rotting between b. +.
Phelps of Bellows Falls and Chas Leonard of
Wesimorelnnd was the sharpest, and to many
the best thing Of the day. The base ball
match between the Loud Boys" of Bellows
Falls and the Putney club, in which the for
mer We're victorious l3 TO Q, was witnessed
by 800 people, by actual count The blowing
match was II trial between the divers patent
and cylinder pillow owned and used by p. d.
Keyes. The committee awarded the first pre-
MUM to the former and the second to the lat
ter. although it was remarked that for hill
farms the'cylnder was equally desirable. A
sde-hill pillow, the Eureka, performed the best
work, for one of its kind, ever witnessed by
the committee. There were six entries in the
foot-race. Richie Willard came in first, VIM.
Mcintyre 2d, VIM. Bartholomew of Putney
Sd, Willard also won in the potato race. In
the polo game Patrick brisbane won the 50
prize taking rings, VIM. Ingraham, So, tax
ing 1 rings, and VIM. Bartholomew 81 taking
rings.
Thus closed two-days fair by the West
minister Agricultural Association With what
ever degree of success it may be accredited, it
will at least be observed that, having caught
the inspiration which formerly prevailed a
mong the members of the society, we are not
discouraged, but hope in years to come to ex-
tend to our friends from abroad the same
hearty welcome as heretofore.
