A. E. Emery Of Orange, Mass, had
charge of the Carpenter Organ company
exhibit and occupied, as heretofore. the
rear Of the hall. Mr.. Emery also dis
played the Behr Bros. d Company piano.
The organs by the Carpenter Organ com
pany were Of their regulation stock, and
not gotten up for the occasion. All grades
of their work were represented, the in
struments displayed including church and
home organs in oak and walnut.
The Wilcox d White company OF Meri-
den, Conn, were also represented by their
self-playng symphony organ, for which
they now have over 10000 pieces of music,
and to which they are constantly adding.
W. G. Collier the local agent for the
Singer sewing machines, was present TO
show forth particularly the merits of a new
buttonhole attachment. Last year this
company made fine display sending up
their Worlds fair exhibit.
The Wheeler d Wilson and Standard
sewing machines combined in their efforts
and were represented by five operators. A
display Of 20 pieces, including draperies,
pictures, ETC., the workmanship OF these
machines was particularly interesting

one reason for this condition is that the
department has bad no supervision for
several years. The exhibitors simply bring
their dogs 10 the grounds and place them
in the exhibition pens, and If the superin-
tendent OF the department is seen during
the fair he is probably hanging on picket,
watching the races.
f. II. Howard's Boston bull terrier was
one Of the animals whose superior breed.
ing was evident al a glance. viii Pent-
land had good pair OF Boston terriers.
J. +. Gales thoroughbred bull terrier from
Gulford was also a good dog. Harris
Cray OF BrattlebOro exhibited a King
Charles spaniel of good breeding. James
LeRay OF Bratlleboro showed bull terriers,
including one bitch with small puppies.
Robert Sargent had four bull terriers
which attracted attention on account of
their good points, as did one bull terrier
owned by +. d. Whitney
Some OF the genuine old-fashioned fox
hounds were exhibited by George Lynde
and Will Bridges OF Green River These
dogs are Of breed once a favorite, but
now seldom seen. +. h. Kidder of Wards
boro had a coon dog and in the same cage
a dead coon which it had run to tree. Her
bert n, Graves of Springfield Mass, was
the owner of an excellent English pointer
bitch. Warren j. Wood, the Greenfield
veteran, was on hand with 23 dogs, repre-
sentng several varieties. II. y. Wilder Of
Guilford had some excellent beagles and
fairly good fox hound. A. T. Cobb Of
Chesterfield and c. H. Shepardson exhib-
tied good CANNES, the former an English
bull terrier and the latter a Scotch collie.
{. X. Childs OF Conway. Mass, had
pair of Scotch collies, and in an adjoining
kennel nine puppies Of the same breed.
These docile and playful creatures were
admired and petted continuously. Milton
and George Pierce added variety with their
rabbits coons and six foxes, NJ, IL. Mel
son of Benardston also exhibited pair
OF lively coons, and W. b. Harris of West
BrattlebOro six foxes, In large wire pen
were G.. W. Pierces six handsome coon
hounds, one of which has a record OF over
100 coons slain in the past three years In
an adjoining pen was a deer owned by Mr..

Merchants Exhibits.

As has always been the custom in this

BrattebOro to display their wares, but not
as many as in previous years took adyan-

the gOOdly number of women who throng
the millinery department, IL would seem as
if the effort put forth in this line were by
no means wasted. Mrs. 5. S. Hunt had.
besides her display of millinery, a line of
dolls, the chief attraction of which was a
large beautifully dressed doll, occupying a
case by herself and waving in her tiny

Mr. Gordon, who has recently bought
Guild ~ Whtney's stock OF cameras and
camera supplies, in addition to his studio
work had spared no pains in making his
exhibit a cOmmendable one. For a back
ground to his display, red bunting had
been artistically arranged and one case
was devoted to a large display of cameras.
A case of camera pictures and another
of photographs concluded this exhibit.

THE RACES THURSDAY.
They Were Below the Usual standard
aud Col Hooker Promised Something
Better Next Year.

The races of the second day were not
above mediocriiy. The finishes were
nearly all tame and there were several
long waits between the heats. President
Hooker apologzed during the afternoon
for the small Inst OF entries and promised
that next year the purses would be larger
and the races OF a better character.
Owing TO the fact that the 2:i4 class
did not til a special race was arranged.
and it appeared first on the card Five
horses were entered tor the event but
only two started, Adonis. a Greenfield
geldiug and Cheerful Alsy, owned by
Charles Miner of Brattleboro. The latter
won the first heat handily, although Adon-
is made good squirt for the lead Oh the
last quarter Time, 2.lg -.
After a long wait the second heat was
started. The horses remained sidt by
side until the third quarter, when Cheer
ful Alsy began TO pull away from his OPP
ponent. tie was unable TO gain very
much, however, and won only by the
length Of his sulky. Time. 20.
The third heat was simply an exhibit
ton made by Cheerful Alsy, for Adonis
broke badly twice and was almost dis
ianced. Time, 2.l6.
Only three horses appeared for the first
heat OF the 30 class. Morgan took the
lead al the start and held it throughout
the heat, finishing first in good form, with
Lorna Doone close second and Mace fol-
lowing some distance behind. Time,
2.2S4
Morgan also took the second heat, al
though il was neck and neck finish be-
tween him and Lorna DoOne. Mace, by a
good squirt on the stretch finished = close
third. Time, 265.
All three horses were out for blood in
the third heat and were side by side al the
half, with Morgan only a trite in the lead.
He succeeded in winning the heat, but
Lorna Doone was beaten for third place by
Mace Time, 22l1.
A field of three came ont for the =. p
class, the first heat being won by Tanner
lane after a game finish, with Tony c,
who was only few inches behind. Me-
Wilkes was in third place. Time, 2254.
TameIlane also captured the second
heat, but not without effort, as both of
the other horses were within few feet.
Time, 2.244.
The third heat was the second heat over
again in every respect except the time,
which was 2.234.
An extra race, in which four horses
started, was added to the card late in the
afternoon.
The first heat was won by Sulphite
Wilkes in 2.2S3, with SNOWFALL second and
Dixie Boy third Nancy NJ was distanced.
The horses finished in the same posi-
tions in the second and third heats. Time,

but certain it is that the paper in ques-
tion knows nothing of the many visitors
who stop to wonder at and admire the
Oregon fruit there displayed, while those
who know just what an excellent ex-
hibit we might make, are positively
ashamed of what they behold.
Mr.. Peet informs US that free rate
on 1000 pounds week has been secured
through to Omaha, which leaves little
excuse for our fruit mems neglect in
failing to do this much towards adver-
tising our state. 1t is to be hoped that
many boxes of Waeco county's wonder
full fruit will find their way to the ex-
hibition during the weeks remaining,
where they will receive due credit as
well as benefit the state.

SINGING AMONG THE GREEKS.

The Ancient Greeks Sang BIitheIZ
and Were Carefully Instructed.
Our present system of public instruc-
ton is not so modern as some would
have us believe. Sparta had her state
superintendent, who, if distant report
is to be trusted, was an educational
despot. But, while he welded his walk
ing stick freely during official visits,
and encouraged his subordinates to ply
the rod on all occasions, he was as
diligent a promoter of music as is any
humane and progressive educator of
our era. AS a result, the little Lace
daemonians sang bhthely, no matter
what torment was going on under
their tunics. And all over Greece, in
those dim days, were schools, ranging
from infant grades instructed under
Arcadian hedges to the university-eX-
tension schemes harbored in buildings
uniquely termed ''places of leisure"
The infants were drilled in their alpha
beta-gammas; the older boys were
taught poetry and gymnastics, with
something of arithmetic, geometry and
drawing; and adults spent their leisure
with rhetoriticians and sophists, pay
ing handsomely for the privilege. But
music was a sine qua non of Grecian
life, in school and in sport, in battle
and in burial. The epic and elegiac
chantings at festivals, the calm specula-
tions of Pythagoras as to the music
of the spheres, the choral outburst of
''the great fifth century," the material
odes of Tyrtaeus and Pindar, all show
the national love for melody of voice
as well as for high and harmonious
thought. An old-time Greek set down
amid the strident, metallic voices of
our occidental world would feel that
the Furies had seized either upon him
or the continent he was visiting. .sszze,
