AIR NOTES.
Financially. as well as i'm every other
respect, he fair was a great success.
The art work shown by Mrs. p. IL.
Batchelder of Middlebury was much adj
mired.
The music was furnished by the Mid
dlebury Brass band. j.. b. Cobb, leader.
and was highly satisfactory.
The ladies of the w. G. II. u. realized
the handsome sum of $50 above all eX-
penses. This sum will be divided among
the unions of the county and used in tenn
perancc work.
Among the exhibits of sheep, one that
attracted considerable attention was f.
G.. Farnham's. He showed 10 yearling
rams-all from registered Spanish Meri-
no ewes and sired by Fcnch Merino rams.
They are larger than pure-blood Spanish
Merinos.
The society intend, before the next
fair, to erect Il new Judges stand, which
is much needed. There is also talk of
removing that and the grand stand to
the southeast % or 30 rods. so that when
the horses come under the wire they will
not be going up hill, as now.
The only accident during the fair oc-
cured Wednesday afternoon, when Hen
ry, son of Henry p. Mosman of Sails
bury, was run over by Il team on the
track. He was taken to DR.. SuttOn's,
where his wound was dressed. He re-
ceived only a cut on the upper lip, which
bled profusely, however.
The Judges selected to award premiums
for best 20 ewes and best stock ram and
