Franklin, one of his fine bred and
beautiful colts; VIM. Hayden showed
his Remittance colt, three years old,
also his two year old Of the Membrino

NAL of the MembrinO- Nutmont pat
tern, S. r. Chrystie a fine styled Lam

Barber Rex Patchen, and M. Nc

Nixon Morse, who catches on to a good
colt naturally, had an Allen Wilkes of
fine form and action; J. G. King
yearling Ethan S, which has made his
half mile in 1:35.
The mares with their stock were not
SO numerous as at some former fairs.
We mention the John Bean mare, with
Allen Wilkes, CobdellAh, Warwick,
yearling and a sucker by her side.
The mare and her stock are credit
to the county; @. Ell. Root showed his
fine Golden mare with her Lambert
B colt at her side. The mare has won
premiums at several fairs. T. G. Will
liams's Paxey mare was there with a
good DR.. Claudius colt. O.. A.
White showed beautiful Star Lam
bert colt; Reuben Devereaux two
mares with plump and pretty War
wick colts; w. g. Trip swears by
Charlie Ray, and his sucker spoke
handsomely for himself.
One of the things that attracted the
most interested crowd was trial Of
draft horses. An enormous load of
stone-we estimated nearly two cubic
yards-was placed on stone drag for
a trial of a pair. Flave LaPete hitched
oeI oIr ;oI1.
his horse drew the load about one
rod. Henry Remission of Irasburgh |
tried it, but his horses refused to
draw it. Bedee Dunham hitched on
his pair of greys, somewhat lighter
than the other pairs, and they drew it
fifty feet, most handsome pull. A
part of the load, perhaps not quite
half of it, was taken off and single
horses tried it. @. F. Cutler with his
farm horse drew it handso mely. MIR |
Wyman put a four year old colt on |
to it but couldn't quite handle it. Af
ter some other trials Peter Lippens OF |
Derby hitched on gray horse which
he uses on truck wagons ,and halloo-
ed at him in Dutch and he drew it |
twenty feet at a pull.
CATTLE.
The show was small in oxen and |
steers. There are few oxen in the
county and there is nothing at pres
ent to encourage the raising of steers.
VIM. G.. Hawkins, who isn't happy
without a good pair of oxen, had
IF 10
L. Simpson good pair Of workers,
freeman Bean fine pair of fat cattle,
Willard Leland business pair, John
Leland and T. B. Piper pairs of bulls
and steers that are handy workers.
John Thorp showed a sleek pair of
Holstein three year olds, twins and
Of exactly even weight. John must
grow them up for big exhibition
steers Geo. Jerome had fine pair
IF yearling steers.
Among the dairy stock the Jerseys
oredominated. Justin Cook was at the
lead of the stalls this time with seven
IF his best animals, all registered and
If the Skinner and Pillsbury stock.
