seen in Vermont. The exhibit of horses was
unusually large and the display of sheep ex-
ceeded any that has ever been seen before at
Howard Park There was an extensive ex-
hibit of agricultural implements and farm
machinery. The Hostein's largely outnum-
bered any other breed of cattle on the
ground, there being no less than forty
seven different herds represented. OF

herds; of Jerseys, forty-one; of Ayrshires,
sixteen of Polled cattle, eleven; and of
mich cows, ten herds. There were forty
two different exhibits of thoroughbred
Shorthorns and twenty-five Of grade or ma

tracted much attention. In the sheep depart

including fiocks of Spanish Merinos, Cots

one hundred thirty-seven exhibits of stock
horses twenty of matched horses and ten

the weather was unfavorable, but the at

the largest ever seen in Vermont. The
stallion race in the afternoon was won by

remainder of the day was most favorable.
1t is estimated that seven thousand people
arrived on the noon trains. Two races were
begun in the afternoon, but were not fin
ished. The address was delivered by SEN
ator Edmunds in the evening, in the city
hall, which was crowded. The address was
quite lengthy Among other things he said:
