WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Aug. 81. Fine
weather marked the last day of the horse
breeders meeting here to-day, but still the
attendance was very small Many reasons
are put forth for this seeming lack Of inter
est One Of the prominent members OF the
association regrstfully remarked that inter
est in horse breeding seemed to be dead.
Granting that this is true one must look
further for the non attendance of the thou
sands who have heretofore been attracted
by tho races connected with the meeting.
1t IL not unlikely that this hard times and
the greater attraction of the worlds fair
will this year seriously affect the attend
ance at all Vermont fairs. Happily
there is no reason for believing that this
condition Of affairs will continue indefinite
ly. With return of general prosperity
there IL likely to be a return another year
of the interest in horsebreedirg and In the
good, old fashioned Nav England country
fair
The present exhibition can hardly be call
ed en- unqualified success, aside from the
poor attendance. The show of horses has
been small in number and not what Yer
mont ought to make. The blame for this
unfortunate condition OF affairs cannot be
laid at the doors Of the managers of the
association. With liberal premiums and
an attractive list of races they did every
thing in their power to bring horsemen and
their horses to the exhibition. But they
did not come aud the absence of 90 of Yer
monts best horses in Chicago could not be
made good.
