oramme was an interesting one, and
included the usual baby show. There
were a large number of all sorts OF
infants in the contest, and each one
was pretty. Franklin Mason Watson
received So in gold, as he was judged
to be the prettiest baby there, Eliza
beth Spohn, daughter of Mr.. Nj. T.
Spohn. received $3.50 as second pre-
MUM: and Melvin Butts, regular
pudding of boy, received the $3.50
awarded to the fattest baby. Rev. j.
X. Van Horne was the master OF GER
emonies.
General Thomas J.. Rosser, of Nlr-
ginia, the gallant ex-Confederate, was
the speaker of the day, and he enter
tanned an immense audience in
witty and sensible speech. We think
the General was little out of his ele-
ment. however, when he was talking
about agriculture, and he would have
much more enjoyed free and easy
talk TO the old soldiers who were so
numerous among the listeners. Cen
eral Rosser is a splendid looking man,
and his old comrades say lie doesn t
age bit.
The most fun of the day was in the
wheelbarrow contest. Jewsler u. h.
Lewis had offered Waterbury Watch
TO the bow who, blindfolded, could
wheel nearest peg. 1t was laugh
able sight TO watch the twenty con
testants in their earnest efforts to
find the stake. Little Harry Llckli-
der. son of Mr.. f. 7. Licklider, was
the lucky boy, and he now wears the
watch Oh a bosom swelled away out
with pride. There was so much fun
i'm this that Daniel Heilebower offered
a bushel of navy beans for the farmer
that would go nearest the peg. a
number of them wheeled, but Daniel
Kpader is the man who will eat the
beans.
James Grantham. of Middleway,
was decided the handsomest man on
the grounds. and he received the
premium a box of cigars. Dennis
Triggs, of Shenandoah junction got
a similar prize for being the ugliest
man present. Standish McCleary,
