THE DRIVING CLASSES.

The judging of the driving classes on
the track took place during Thursday fore
noon. c. Fayette Smith of HOlyoke was
the winner for the best matched pair, with
two mares, five and seven years old. Mr..
Smith is the cashier of the City national
bank in Holyoke. II. S. Frost of Bellows
Falls secured second with pair of chest
nut mares. A. w. Gilmore of st. Adams
showed pair of geldings aud j. r. Blood
of Bellows Falls pair of mares.
The Estey Organ company had the best
pair of matched work horses. f. NJ.
Waite second. Another excellent pair
were owned by Capt Robertson of Put
ney F. NJ. Waite secured the first prize
for best single work horse.
The gentlemen's single drivers brought
out the largest field of competitors the
Valley Fair has ever seen. Nearly all of
the animals were excellent specimens of
fast readers, but the judges decided in
favor of d. 5. Pratt for first prize and W.
II. Fletcher for second. The other entries
were by G. E. Richards, Henry Scott,
Chas. II. Thompson, Guy Taft, T. j. Mil
Ter, f. H. Stacy, II. G. Franklin; Mark
Ward, Hugh Crawford, Arthur Lowell and
Fred Robinson of Putney; F. c. Rand of

EsTEY ORGAN EXHIBIT.

The Estey Organ company had on exhib-
ition in their building four organs, pho
norium in quartered oak case, four pianos
with cases of walnut, Hungarian ash and
other fancy woods. One organ attracted
special attention on account of its beauti-
full case, which was of highly polished
quartered oak, and had the triple mirror
figure head. This and one other style
were entirely new this fall and were exhib-
ited here for the first time. The usual
crowd were in possession of the Estey
building throughout the fair. There
seemed to be no end to the interest of the
people in the different instruments, both
INTELLECTUALLY and from a musical stand
point. The usual force of statesmen were
in attendance to wait upon the crowd
good naturally, but with an eye to business
just the same. Mrs. Sherwln gave great
delight to all listeners by her artistic play
ing on organs, pianos and phonorium, the
latter attracting perhaps the most enthusi-
astic notice.

and grade Guernsey COW; w. f. Boynton,
West Brattleboro, grade Jerseys.
l.. G. Spaulding and son of Poultney,
VT, entered II head of Ayrshires, includ-
ing three bulls, five cows, heifers and
calves. Their seven-year-old Ayrshire
bull was awarded a prize at the World S
Fair at Chicago.
Pure bred Guernseys were shown by
several exhibitors, and the Guernsey blood
was quite plentifully mixed in with the
various grades. j. NJ. McQuade of the
Bradley farm had good herd of Guern-
seys, both pure and grades, consisting of
seven cows, number of heifers and three
bulls. He was awarded nearly all the pre-
miums on the grades of this class, and a
few on thoroughbreds. An excellent herd
of pure bred Guernseys was shown by f.
B. Buckley of Valley Falls, n. Y. Mr..
Buckley appears to be justly noted as a
breeder of pure blooded stock. He made
perhaps, as good or better show of Guen-
seys than has ever before been made at the
Valley Fair. A. w. Cutting of Brattle-
boro was awarded premium for thor
oughbred Guernsey two-year-old bull, aud
j. NJ. McQuaide two or three other premi-
ums for the same breed. With these ex-
ceptions Mr.. Buckley took all the premi-
ums for thoroughbred Guernseys.
A more novel exhibition of live stock
was Mr.. Buckeyes herd of jet black polled
Angus cattle They were great beauties
both in form and color. The absence Ct

THE DOGS.

The Riverside kennels of Bratteboro
prevented the bench show from falling be-
low mediocrity The exhibit included one
pair of registered Kentucky fox hounds
and seven puppies. The parent pair are
the dogs which won first prize in 1894 and
third in 1895 at the big Boston bench show.
With these dogs Mr. Brooks of Vernon
shot % foxes before the dogs were two
years old. The pair of registered Tennes-
see hounds with six puppies were in the
same class as the Kentucky dogs, and in
fact the dog was the finest appearing canine
on the grounds. The Riverside kennels
also showed one pair of coon hounds and
four live coons. Leland O. Hubbard of
Chesterfield also had live coon.
An exceptionally fine fox hound was the
one which won the first prize for NJ. II.
Kinson. Much admiring comment was ex-
pressed over the six registered coach dogs
owned by j. Z. Dorsey of Greenfield,
Mass. IL. j. Richmond had a thorough
bred Scotch collie, which was sired by a
dog imported by Senator Redield Proctor
A. ii. Vanveghten of Mechanicsville show
ed Scotch collie which fanciers pro-
nOunced A l. Fox terriers were owned by
w. Ii. Harvey, David Clough and f. E.
Welcome, all of Brattleboro. Mrs. j. F..
Clark of Westtield had tiny toy black and
tan, IL. n. Wilder a good English bull
Frank Wheeler bitch and three puppies
Another good specimen of English bull
was owned by David Clough. NJ. h. Mel
son proved the proves of his fox hound
bitch by displaying three foxes which she
had just run down. A Boston terrier owned
by j. +. Gale of Guiford was handsome
dog, G.. ii. Davis had good fox hound
bitch, and IL. A. Lowell of Putney two fox
hounds, Chas. ii. Clark rabbit hound !;
e. Ii. Barrett of Hinsdale a Scotch collie
G.. III. Butterfield of Vernon to Beagle
hounds, and c. II. Reed two coon hounds
and dead coon; and E. A. Reed a black
and tan.
The most admired specimen in the bench
show was the golden eagle exhibited by G..
w. Pierce. 1t was caught in Marlboro by
the Adams Brothers and bought by Mr..
Pierce. The eagle had spread of over
seven feet from tip to tip of wings.
Some of the especially fine dogs were l..
S. Higgins's thoroughbred coach, which
took the blue ribbon, III. p. Danes regis
tered English White Bull terrier pups from
Greenfield, and A. G. Van Veghten's
Scotch collie from Mechanicsville, N. Y.

eight weeks old, on exhibition the last day,

The burglar who was captured in Barnet
two weeks ago has been sentenced to -
years in the state prison in Essex county
on one count. When he reached Windsor
he was recognized as a former inmate. As
there are several other charges against the
prisoner he is liable to spend the rest of
his life behind the bars.
Edison j. Nanny, a student in the High
school at Randolph, was fatally shot Tues
day. He and Fred Hastings had been hunt

repeating shot gun when it was accidentally
discarged, the entire charge taking effect
in Manny's left shoulder blade.
L. W. Warren's house, barn and carriage

horns is merit that is becoming more and
more to be appreciated. In this strain of
polled cattle Mr.. Buckley had no competi-
tors at the fair. Nearly all the Herefords
seen on the grounds were the property Of
W. F. Richardson. Cattle men made no
question as to their quality.
One of the most interesting herds Of live
stock was that shown by II. +. Wallis Of
Holland, Mass, consisting of II pure bred
Devons, and five grades. They were of a
bright, brownish red color, with coats of
silky lustre. Mr.. Wallis has taken many
premiums on these animals at the Bay
State fair, at the Portland fair and at many
others. He claims that they are harder
than other breeds and will thrive where
some others will starve.

The cattle exhibit of the Valley Fair has
been brought to such point of excellence
at previous exhibitions that it is doing well
to maintain the standard thus established.
The cattle seen on the grounds this year
did not differ materially in number and
quality from the average of the best years
of the fair. There were, perhaps, some
what fewer working oxen. Since horses
are so generally superseding oxen for work
on the farm, less attention is given to
oxen, and fewer are seen at the fairs. As
last year, no town competed with Guilford
for the town team prize, and it was award
ed to that town. The oxen composing the
team were owned by w. j. Bullock, one
pair, weight, 2GO0; Emmett E. Weather
head, one pair, weight, $500; II. j. Rich
