NOTES.
We understand the "bread con-
test !" is not yet settled.
The new grand stard.and the new
stables were evidently fully appreci-
ated.
Very little intoxicatiOn was mani
fest, and with but one exception, no
The discretionary committee, Mr..
Livingston, aided our reporter very
in ''takin g i'm Floral hall
Barre horses and Barre men seemed
quite numerous, and they seemed to
g get there" to quite a considerable
extent.
The number of hucksters on the
grounds was something wOndrous,
and yet all seemed to be doing
thriving business.
A band made up of musicians from
several towns, directed by Prof. Paul
and Mr.. Burdick, furnished excellent
music throughout.
Three days fair and not a drop of
rain till the last heat of the last race
twas indeed an innovation in La
noble Valley fairs.
To name the promising youngsters
in horse flesh shown would be to use
our paper. They were there, plenty !
of them, and stylers, too.
The fair was a success financially. |
The grounds and track will be further |
The weather was grand, |
and all in all weare satisfied with the |
fair of 1892.
Taken all together the fair was the
most successful of any held in years,
and the company will be enabled to
make still further improvements in
the property.
Not often at Vermont fairs are seen
better styled horses, finer looking cat
tie, or handsOmer women than were
to be seen on all sides during last |
weeks meeting.
The show in Floral hall was beyond !
question the largest ever made here. |
The exhibitions were artistically ar
ranged and a trip through the build
ng was of itself worth the price of
admission to the grounds.
The pneumatic tire suIky was used |
IN every race. Geo. II. Thomas, of |
sheldon; H. c. Lanpher, of Hyde |
Park, and O. d. Matthews, of Morris |
vile, were the judges c. H. Stearns |
and w. C.. Doane, of Johnson, the |
timers.
