The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-09-18

A bicycle race of two heats was raced in
the afternoon, resulting DIS follows: H Da-
Wis, first; e. Smith, second; j. A. Atkins
third.
The bag race with twelve starters, was
very amusing, but George Browns little
chestnut mustang easily carried off the hon.
ors, with Tom O'Brien second.
Had the weather been more pleasant, the
fair would have been one Of the most sue
cessful in the history of the association.
The trotting was fine, and the condition Of
the track could not have been improved.
The Bolton Cornet Band furnished music.
1t is hoped that the management will re
frain from such economy next year. The
exhibit in the Floral Hall was good, par
tcularly the piano exhibit, from Bailey's, at
Burlington.
The show Of vegetables, although smaller
than in previous years. was fairly good.
The usual number OF lemonade and peanut
stands was on hand, and the large crowd
was remarkably free from evidence of any
sales of more exhilarating beverages. With
one exception the fair passed off without &C.
cident, and that one exception was particu-
larry fortunate. Premiums were awarded
