stock track grooming year-old colt fol
a race, but as soon as his business will ad.
init, the grand juror will give this matter
his whole attention. Both parties are well
versed in legal lore and actually need nc
counsel, but with little urging Bethel
would get job.
It is TO be regretted that the peaceful
solitude OF this grand old mountain whose

broken by uusrrels. Let us have peace

WINDSOR COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The new floral hall now under process
OF construction by Superintendent Horace
lockwood will be a great addition and
improvement to the many good buildings
on these grounds. There were numerous
minds as to the location, but the COM
mittee kave shown excellent judgement
and are to be congratulated on their wis
dom. 1t will be south OF the old one and
near the secretary's office, also near the
fine barns and buildings OF the Billings
fsrm, reaching back TO the bank in the
rear OF the office. There will be a plat
form bridge so that people can walk from
the secretary's office into the second story
OF the mechanics hall, which will be one
OF the most attractive rooms in the build
ing. Although the lower floor will hold
the main exhi bits, yet we predict that the
upper floor will be thronged all through
the fair. This building being below and
on higher ground than the grandstand,
wi /, Of course, have a good view OF the
track. Ii may take something from its
receipts, but the general public and mem
bers Of the association well appreciate the
position.
The old floral hall will be moved near
the horse stalls and converted into a large
barn, the lower part being used for horses
and The upper part for hay and grain
grown upon the grounds. This will give
a broad splaisance" for side shows and
hucksters. The whole, when completed,
will be the best equipped fair ground in
Vermont.
