| In this department it is especially
hard to get the name of the owners
who had horses on exhibition in the
stalls, although we learned the name
of many Of the exhibitors when they
brought their stock out to show in
front of the grand stand. Geo. Has
lett had Red Elm on the ground and
gave several exhibition spins. Oliver
Valley exhibited Centello; S. E. King
of Glover was also prize winner; A.
Whaley of Newport, r. A. Johnson,
Glover, P. J. Plunkett, Barton, Ell. 0.
Dewitt, Irasburgh, o. M. Delano, AL
bany, L. S. Nye, Coventry, G. II. Hin
ton, East Charleston, V. D. Niles,
Hardwick, julius Deblois, Lowell were
Dewitt of Irasburgh showed pair of
Arabian -Hambletonian horses which
looked very well in harness. J. B.
Clement exhibited a good looking
driver. There were several pairs of
good, although not in all cases of ex
traordinarily matched,pairs of horses.
Geo. Pattee Of Barton took the first
prize, while the second and third
prizes were awarded to G. n. Hibbard
Of West Glover, and @. II. Lee of
Lyndonville. w. L. Dow of East
Hardwick exhibited a pair of young
horses which, with little more age,
will make good drivers; @. T. Cutler
Of West Glover showed a small pair
Fl. Lee both exhibited two pairs.
There were fifteen single drivers, some
Of them making a fine appearance.
The prizes were taken by Fred Sisco,
Sheffield, 1st; Sam Bean, West Glover,
2nd; James McFarlane, Barton, Sd.
The others who exhibited single driv-
ers were Fl. A. Folsom, Barton, w. A.
Leland, Barton, J. B. Clement, Barton
Landing, B. M. Sherburne, Glover,
L. G. Dow, East Hardwick, w. D. Mil
Ter, Westfeld, Fred Comstock, Barton,
Mr.. Collins, East Albany, Dick Will
kinson, Barton, w. @. Tripp, Glover,
@. W. Dexter, Glover. The prizes
were not awarded simply on speed,
the committee taking all the qualities
Of the horse into consideration, as
cheap animal might be able to trot
faster than a more valuable one. The
test Of the draft horses drew crowd
which it was hard to keep back of the
ropes SO great was their interest. A
drag was taken on to the track and
loaded down With heavy stones, and
as the horses drew the load it was in
creased until they had drawn all pos
sible for them to draw. n. B. Dun
ham had a pair of comparatively small
grays which took the first prize. These
horses are remarkable pullers, pulling
together, steadily and every pound
they can. II. j. Hudson of Charles
ton took the second prize and @. E.
Conley of Westmore the third. The
and hitched on to the loads and it was
surprising to see how much they
would draw. A horse belonging to
Q. E. Conley took the prize in this
match.
There were but few oxen on the
grounds. William Hinton had a pair
on which he took first premium while
w. E. Hanson of Craftsbury and F.
Bean of Glover took the other prizes.
The showing of cattle was excellent
the Jerseys as lot being especially
meritorious. G.. w. Phillips of Iras
burgh showed some holstein cattle
and one grade guernsey cow, and
registered jersey bull, taking several
premiums. F. G. Crandal of Glover
showed a grade jersey; B. F. Emer-
son showed a jersey calf; G. H. Hin

looking holstein cattle, having eight
head there. E. A. Smalley of Crafts
