THE FAIR AT BETHEL.
TUESDAY.


The 18th annual exhibition of the White
River Agricultural Society promises to
be one of the most successful ever held
on their beautiful grounds. provided the
clerk of the weather favors them with
fair days. For several weeks il has been
evident the number of entries would be
large, and the officers of the society have
been making active operations for the
coming event. Although Tuesday is re-
garded as one day of the Fair, yet the EN-
tire day is occupied in entering articles
and animals for the exhibition which oe-
ours on the two following days. As the
Society requires none of the entries to be
on the grounds before Wednesday morn
ing, il is impossible to estimate what the
exhibit will be by visiting the barns, cat
tie, sheep, swine and poultry sheds on
this day, but a call at the Secretary's of
flee at o'clock p. m, when the books of
entry closed developed the fact that an
unusually large number of entries had
been made in nearly all the classes and
the prospects of a successful exhibition
very fiattering. The showing of horses
will be large one and many fine animals
will be shown.
The celebrated trotting stallion ssAris-
tos" by Daniel Lambert will be on the
ground and will attract much attention
as the winner Of the grand sweepstake
premium for stations at the Vermont
Horse Breeders meeting recently held In
Rutland. Among other fine animals on
each OF which has many adj
mirers will be seen Thought by Dan

lin and many other good specimens Of
equine beauty.
All the barns ON the grounds are filled
to oyer-flowing and many horses have
quarters at barns in the village. IL is
evident that all the races will be hotly
as the nominations for the diff |
ferent classes are numerous. The Judges
stand has been moved thirty feet up the
track which makes IL nearly opposite the |
center of the grand stand.
Another Improvement noticed Is the |
location of the poultry sheds which have
been erected near Floral Hall and are
very convenient for ladies 10 visit,
large number of whom are interested in |
poultry raising.
The exhibit In Floral Hall Is magnif- |
icent one and is fine show OF itself. A |
number OF the committee worked hard |
all the afternoon on tuesday receiving |
articles for exhibition ard arranging /
them for an advantageous display. Is
ually the greater number of articles in |
ihis department do not arrive nc the hall |
until Wednesday morning but when the /

Bankrupted by Protection.

The Alma Manufacturing Compan.
of Philadelphia, which has Just made
an assignment. appears to have fallen
a victim to our tariff laws. Its busi
ness was the manufacture OF worSfed
and wooden goods. The managers OF
this company were >tanch Republic
ans, and last fa.l expressed themselves
very confident that if Harrison was
elected the manufacturing interests o:
the country would be safe. The re-
cent failure shows that these views
were dictated rather by party preju-
dice than BY business sagacily. In
business circles in Philadelphia the
failure mas attracted Il good deal OF at
tentiOn. not on account OF its magnj
tude. bul because it Is regarded as
significant OF trouble which Is wide
" prevalent. The opinion Is freely
expressed that the high tariff on Wool
is responsible for the failure. Other
similar failures have occur red and
other establishments have made great
reductions in the extent OF Their op-
erations. Louisville Courier journal

LINEN DRESS GOODS.
Popularity Of Damassc Linens. Ginghams

Popularity of Damassc Linens. Ginghams
and Kindred Fabrics.
The popularity of zephyr ginghams
and all kindred fabrics has been al
most phenomenal and the increasing
fancy for washable fabrics. even for
street dresses. has included the beau
tifnl and durable linen goods which
are such cool and delightful summer
wear. White linen laws are liked for
all-white dresses, and are made in
simplest styles; but the colored and
figured laws are made up in the Wat
teau styles, and the combination of
plain or striped goods with figures is
made in linen laws and cambrics. as in
other materials.
Damasse linens are especially
adapted for this use, and are made in
regular costumes trimmed with velvet
collar and cuffs of the color These
damasse linens are figured in quaint.
old-time geometrical designs in white
on all shades of blue. gray and brown.
and a dress of one made up in the
modified Vatican style makes Il very
suitable home dress.
Pcrcales have white grounds with
geometrical designs in color. or flow
cred with conventional set blossoms.
They are liked for morning wear. The
linen ginghams are charming. and re-
produce in all dainty colorings the
small plaided and checked designs of
old-fashioned lute-string and taffetas
silk. They are often made up in quite
elaborate styles, with yolles and puffed
sleeves. and corselet OF silk or velvet.
One young lady is said to have added
over twenty gingham dresses. made in
various styles. to her summer outfit. so
there is no danger in recommending
their selection as desirable one
