Dog River Valley Fair.

place coming IN lOr Boou sh"iS - 80
premiums. The cattle exhibit was very
good but not quite up TO the standard al
though few fine specimens OF holsIeln
and jersey cattle were on exhibition. Inc
exhibit OF sheep and swine was quite
large and good. The exhibit OF poultry
was not as large as in previous years, there
being only six exhibitors. In Floral han
the exhibits were large and numerous, the
finest ever shown at any fair in centrel
Vermont The display OF furniture from
| l.. C. Fletcher andia case OF millinery from
Gilchrist and Smith attracted mueh al
tention and were great credit TO the eA-
hibitors. The display of vegetables was
also quite large on which /. ID. Williams
of West Randolph took first premium.
All in all this is the best fair with larger
and better exhibits than ever before. Inc
managers deserve great credit Tor the
manner in which they looked alter lne
welfare of the exhibitors as well as the
natrons of the fair. One fact that was
very noticeable was the absence Of gam
bling Of any description as well as the nu-
merous shooting galleries which are
prominent feature at so many fairs.
