all classes on exhibition
There were only six entries in class
Hereford, all by Frank Parsons. 1t was
fine herd, but hardly up to some exhibited
by him in former years. He took
four first premiums and one second, show
ing that the committee regarded them all
meritorious.
There was unusual interest shown in the
class Holsteins, they having taken the lead
over every other as milk producers and hav-
ing also excellent reputation as beef cattle.

8 by Chapman Bros, one each by F. Will
liams and ]. V. Phelon, and two by F. NJ.

lington has now some as fine Holsteins as
can be found in this country, and in this
cheese producing section are destined soon
to take the lead.
Ayershires were represented by 16 en-
tries, 15 by Henry Belts and one by c.
Gannett Mr.. Belts carried away seven
first premiums and four second. They
were fine cattle, but we are not sufficiently
familiar with them to speak of their pecu-
liar excellencies.
There were IL entries of AlderneYs and
Jerseys, they representing essentially the
same qualities-the best butter producing
stock in the world o. p Chapman took
first premiums on Jersey cow and on heifer
calf by her side. They were beauties and
well deserved their honors. 8. z Warner
took first premium on yearling bull in this
class.

selves in Berkshire hogs They made a

White 10, and G. NJ. West 10, all taking q
good number of premiums.

D. Matcham and others also contributing
A low down selfbinding reaper by the
Buckeye Co., made light and adapted to
two horses, was a new and desirable ma
chine. Also a new hand and power feed
cutter appeared superior to anything of the
kind we had seen. The exhibition in this
class was unusually full and complete, and
ing, made it possible to show the machi
merry to advantage.

had been filling up since Monday and was
very attractive. Its cramped proportions
by no means represent the mercantile en-
terprise of our own town, but its space wa:
all crowded with goods.
Mrs. Wideman displayed handsome
stock Of fall millinery, hats and bonnets
showing the new shapes, large, small, me

plumes, ribbons, satins, plushes, velvets
wings, birds, flowers and ornaments were
indicative of what is to be worn in the
coming months.
Lang & Peirce and j. w. Wilbur eact
had good display of Stoves and goods IL
their line. The new Improvements in
ranges, gasoline stoves, wood and Goa
