The executive committee of three, Gre
ated for purpose long ago forgotten,
was abolished, on motion of F. c. Dyer
The rules and regulations were amended
as follows: mo gambling will be al
lowed on the grounds, but all legitimate
games and shows will not be ercluded."
Two years ago rule was adopted eX-
Guiding all such from the grounds. En-
perience at two fairs of the society has
proved that it was ill-advised and the
above rule was therefore adopted to take
its place.
Farmers race-pursc, $50.
Foals of lSS6-pursc, SO.
foals of lSS5-purse, SO
Freefor-all-purse, $50
All entries for purses, except farmers, will
close on Monday, Sept. O. Each entry must
be accompanied by ten per cent of the purse
entered for and addressed to Frank c. Dyer,
secretary, West salisbury, VT Farmers
purse kept open until time of the race.
All cattle and horses on exhibition will
be exhibited on the track in front of the
grand stand at 10 o'clock Il. m. of each
day, and the breeding of each animal
will be announced by the secretary.
The premium list was generally revised
and committees appointed. 1t was voted
to pay the Fair Ground company 5000 for
the use of the grounds. Mr.. j. 4. James
of the company stated that such ali ar
rangement must be made if the society
used the grounds, as the company could
not afford to let them have the grounds
every year and get practically nothing
out of it. 1t is hoped by the officers of the
society that the people will give them their
cordial support in their efforts to main
tain fair in Addison county. The an
nual fair will be held Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, Sept 0, 10 and IL. =
