The joint exhibition OF the Vermont
State Agricultural Society and the
Champlain Valley Association at How
ard Park, Burlington, last week was a
great success. The show of stock was
large and it was necessary to turn away
some of the horses on account of lack OF
accommodations. The exhibition of
oxen and other cattle was good. The
show of fine bred sheep completely filled
the hall and the exhibits of swine and
poultry were also good. The floral and
mechanic halls were well filled and the
exhibition on the whole was above the
average.
