WINDSOR COUNTY FAIR.

wINDOON SSoN FAM
Windsor County Fair, the seth an
nual, was q grand success, and at this
late day it is not necessary or important
to give every particular incident connect
ed with it, or to note and ''puff' every
thing from setting hen to a mammoth
horse. The show Of "stun'' was good,
although not SO numerous rs in some
years past, and the crowd Of people who
came down to see their mcles, their
cousins and their aunts, was simply
"immcnsc. 1t was quiet and order
" crowd, and if it was not for the huck-
sters, victuaers and 'hoSs" men, it was
as quite as a camp meeting on Sunday.
The youth Of both sexes, from the rural
districts, were out on parade, in full
dress, and once in u while you could see
onc-gcnerally of the sterner sex-lcan-
ing against something, as rigid as a
shovel handle leaning against u barn
door, munching candy, and "taklng it
all in"-the Fair, we mean. Oh it
was great event in their lives. The
weather continued cloudy throughout the
three days, but it was warm and but lit
tie rain fell, and that mostly Tuesday
night. Thursday, the last day, was the
big day this year. 1t was balloon day.
AT three O'Clock Prof. Allen stepped into
his balloon basket, and away went
"Lakc Shore" across the Quechee, and
over Hartland Hill, in the direction of
New Hampshire, aud wOs watched by
the crowd for over half an hour, or until
it sank below the horizon. The Pro-
lessor landed at Croydon, N. H., some
| miles distant, in direct line, making
It in lj minutes, and had gas enough
eft to have gone hundred miles far
her, The whole thing was grand
success, and drew Il crowd to witness it.
1t was seen in its aerial flight by all the
round. Below We give the
premiums;
