WEDNESDAY WAS CATTLE DAY,

ity for the quantity lacking.
 WEDNESDAY WAS CATTLE DAY,
 and at Huntington the fair always opens
 with parade of the cattle around the
 track, headed by the band, which, by the
 way, is very good way to open fair, puts a little martia. music into things at the start. Marshal G. M. Wakeley headed and started the line of march at about | a. m., followed by the Wheeler & Wilson band, which furnished such good music throughout the fair, and B pair of cattle. In the string were from
 Monroe, Howard Wheeler with three pail of cattle, o. $, Blackman l, William Twist !; C. NJ. Beardsley l, AL Burr 1, John Waterbury l, John NJ Lake l, 5. 5
 Wales |, Eli Curtis l, c, l.. Burr l, D. F, Squires l, Wilbur French l, J. NJ. Burr l, W. R. Ferris from Huntington, c. W. shelton l, L. Shelton 1, H. s. Wells ,, l.. B. Gray 1, D. Mcclure 1, c. J. Wakeley l, Frank Laborie 1, Leander J. Wheeler T.; from TrumhuIl, $. M. Brinsmade l, w. E. Plumb l, David k. Plumb from Newtown and Brookfeld, k. N. Somers l, $. B. Warner }, I. A. Hawley l, Ferris Brothers ?. The cattle took their usual place on the grounds and the afternoon was spent in rendering judgement and en- joying the contests. It wouldn't be d bad plan to have grand stand built so the exhibition could be watched more comfortably by more people and the cat tie and drivers could be more by them selves, for it certainly ia as much fun and more for some men to see the noble ami mals draw than to see the horse trots, and the crowd that watched them We'd nesday was far larger than the crowd that watched the horses:

 Class P for the best string of 10 pair, Monroe easily won, no competition, but hat don't signify anything, for they had n exceptionally fine string and there are ew towns who could beat their showing, n this state or any other for that matter. The showing of stock was not large nd it would seem that with such excep. Ionally good quarters as the Huntington eople furnish for this department more T the farmers would bring in their hand ome boyines. It isn't every flair ground nat furnishes covered sheds for stock. I In class B but three bulls were exhib- z ed. Robert Sinclair, D. B. Parmelee \ nd 5. NJ.
