THE VALLEY FAIR.
Some Of the Fentures of America's Great
est ShOw.-Program for the Coaching
parade.

/
parade.
The Valley Fair has now come to b.
the best thing of the kind in Americ
for the completeness and instructive
ness of its exhibits and the wide vari
ety of its superiorities There arr
other fairs which can surpass it il
particular lines, but when all the de
partments come to be considered to
gether, the exhibits OF horses. cattle
sheep, swine, poultry, pet stock, agr
cultural and dairy products, fruits
vegetables, manufactures, fame,
articles. and domestic goods, dair,
competition, racing, coaching parad,
and all, the Valley Fair is not onl,
close up to the best in every partic
ular. but as whole it is indsputabl,
| first.
This year, with good weather, there
is every promise of an exhibition thai
will equal the best Of previous years
and in some respects surpass it. The
superintendent OF every department
report entries and promises and en-
gagements of space sufficient to amply
justify this prophecy. The running
race will be an entirely new thing in
Vermont and necessarily drawing
card. There are 6S entries for the
tracts, which means from eight to Il
starters in each class and it will be
seen by the names of the horses in an
other column that it will be fast
field The increase of the seating
capacity of the grand stand by LOCO
removes the chief source of complaint
in the past, and will also affo ri a
comfortable addition to the Associa
tion's exchequer.
1t will apparently be the largest
show of cattle yet. A telegram yester-
day announced the coming Of six
herds, Guernseys, Devons, Polled
Angus, Polled Durhams and JERSEYS
from the Fairhayen fair. The Smith
herd of Durhmas from Coleraine is to
be here, the Swiss herd from Worces,
ter, the Brattleobro Retreat herd of
Holsteins, with other representations of
this and other high -blooded stock from
all over New England, and the other
local herds of thorough brecls and
grades will make something well worth
seeing for every farmer. West Brattle-
boro, Guilford, Hiusdaie and Chester
field will have town teams here, and
there is assurance Of between 100 and
200 yoke of working oxen.
There S to be a large show of swine
and sheep, Shropshires and Oxford
downs, from the northern part Of the
state.
