of Bethel and +. +. Bowman of Rox-
bury had nice exhibits and OF the
kind calculated to encourage this
profitable industry in Central Yer
mont.
FLORAL HALL.
About the first idea 10 forcibly take
hold Of the visitor entering the large
hall was that the management must
do one of two things very soon-en-
large the building or curtail the eX-
hibits, with which the hall was liter
ally packed. Fruit there was in album
dance. o. ;. Thayer of Braintree
made large show in apples Of many
varieties; Mrs. w. w. Holden, Fred
Parker A. p. Orcutt and Frank Halle
ton Of Mortified had fine display
Of apples. There were other exhibits
in apples, pears, plums and grapes
worthy Of mention, il space permitted.
The show of vegetables was immense,
and for this pleasing sight the public
is indebted TO a. Is. johnson, j. Bak-
er, IL. Barker. w. w Holden of
Mortified. j. NJ. Hutchinson and Z.
Riddle Of Williamstown, 4. w.
Chase. Geo. G. Smith Of Brooktield,
A. Webster q Son Of East Roxbury
and many other smaller exhibitors.
In the dairy department, there were
some choice exhibits Of butter, cheese,
maple sugar and syrup, but the sys-
tenn of numbering the exhibits 10 as
sure impartial judgment Of their mer-
its, left the reporter without tne names
Of the exhibitors OF butter and cheese.
There were some tempting preserves
exhibited. Mrs. w. Il. Mayo leading
with Il cans, Mrs. J. Baker had IL,
Mrs. &. NJ. Erskine, ten. Jane How
ard. nine, Mrs. H. r. Abbott, eight.
and there were a number Of other ex-
hibitors. The culinary department
made a most inviting display Of the
housewives skill, and il is safe 10 ven
turc that no better cooking was ever
displayed. Like butter and cheese,
however, il was numbered, and the
reporter ,hirks the responsibility Of
guessing the names Of The exhibitors.
In grain and seeds, there was not a
large exhibit, but the quality was eX-
cellent. II. T.. Abbott Of Brookiield
showed oats, barley, rye and buck
wheat: 4. Il. johnson, wheat, barley,
oats and rye; l.. Riddle, oats and bar
ley, and there were a number of other
small exhibits. The exhibits in fine
arts, domestic manufactures cut flow
ers,etc., were particularly fine, and an
attempt TO mention all the really mcr-
itorious articles in these departments
would extend the list far beyond the
limits Of our space II was an exhibit
for which the ladies were largely re-
sponsible and one worthy Of all the
commentator bestowed upon il by
the visitors, which is SAYING great
deal. The premium list will give
pretty general idea Of these exhibits.
In the hall, W. Q. Whitmarsh exhib-
tied the White sewing machine; Web
ster, Hall \ Taplin of Montpelier had
a nice furniture exhibit; the Bailey
Music Rooms of Burlington, the lead
ing music house of Northern New
England, displayed several styles and
makes in leading pianos and organs;
George w. Tillotson showed some
specimens from his popu-
lar stove store: Frank Harris showed
some baled excelsior of which he is
the manufactures, and there were sew
eral other minor exhibits in this line.
The only really small exhibit was in
agricultural implements. \. Webster
exhibited a weeder and +. II. Thayer
showed the well-known Green Noun
tain pillow.
This in brief is the first installment
of the story OF the Dog River Valley
fair for 1894. and its Interesting con-
clusion will be found below in the
