also, feed multitude. All OF these
are within a short distance of the Fair
ground so those who go for their din
ners by rail, by carriage, or upon the
famed "shanks' mare" can easily reach
either Of them.
As large an attendance would be
had at the junction as at any other
place in the state. Many believe it
would be larger. When il is remem-
bered that the exhibit of stock at the
Windsor county fairs is very often
nearly equal 10 that found at the state
fairs there need be no fear but that
large exhibit win be sent to the June
tion if the fair is held there. While
it is known that west of the mountain
the Franklins and Lamberts, with 9TH
er horses that have become famous,
have their homes it need not be sup
posed that good horses are not numer-
Gus this side of the mountain. AT the
Junction The Vt. Valley Stock Breed
ers Association and james W. Page
have at the old fair ground, West
mont with 80 heats to his credit better
than 2.30, all over half-mile tracks

At Quechee j. C.. Parker has 75 good

mares by Daniel Lambert, Delango.
Ethan, Ballard's Clay and other noted
sires are foundin Mr.. Parkers stables.
A host of other good horses are found
east of the mountains among which is
Helen NJ, the phenomenal TWO years
old.
A good mile track, a guaranty fund
of SIP, 900, well located and not too
costly grounds with proper railway ia
cilities are asked for by the locating
committee, and all of these the juno
ton people will furnish. A more de-
sirable location cannot be found. The
land can be bought for comparatively
small sum. The track and the money
are guaranteed as is, also, the track to
the grounds. No better railway facil-
tiles can be found in the state. The
wide awake people of the junction will
have to work hard to secure this prize
perhaps but if they work success must
surely come.
That there will be some financial
gain to the Junction is true but that
will be small compared with the hene-
fit gained by all the country about here
not only in the advertisement gained
by the exhibition Of stock but also in
the fresh impetus given to the breeding
OF better stock. The horse breeders
meeting will give the horses OF this sec
tion of the state the same advertise
ment that has been given to those west
of the mountains. Horses equally as
good as those sold for FIVE, six or
more hundreds of dollars west of the
mountains are selling much lower here.
If the State Fair and Breeders Meet
ing are held here few years there
viii be developed better stock and
more fine horses than are now known
