monkeys and dogs were also very
we'll received. The trained horse was
another marvel and was appreciated
by the company. The Locomobile, or
horseless carriage, was present and
was of considerable interest to many.
The exhibitor took many of the peo-
pie for a ride which was most EN- Joy
able. The exhibition of the boy driver
was enjoyed by. all. From the great
amount of money invested in special
attractionlth the association would have
but as it is the people are all we'll
pleased and the success of the fair
next fall is already assured. The usual
number of booths were taken outside
of the halls. Music was furnished by
the Barton band, the boys doing them
selves credit. Attendance the second
day nearly 1000; third day 5000.
| 1t would seem that it would be a
| good thing if the management would
! instruct the police to keep the spec
| tators back little better when there
is some entertainment being given on
the track as they crowd up SO as to
shut the view off from all sides. If
| they kept back they could see nearly
as we'll themselves besides leaving a
good view for others.
"a RACES.
The horse races the second day
| were very interesting and the grand
stand was we'll filed with enthusiastic
spectators. The third day while the
races were not as fast as have been
seen here it is doubtful if more excit-
ing races were ever witnessed on the
track. In the 229 class it took six
heats to decide the race and in the 25
class six heats were trotted Thursday
afternoon, three horses winning two
each and then the race was postponed
to the following morning because of
the darkness. n In the 2-20 class the
first heat was a draw battle between
Corbett and Mary Crittendon, after
which both horses succeeded in win
ming heat, when the race was post
poned to the following day. The free
for all race was not started at ali
Thursday. From the fifteen heats
trotted Thursday only one race could
be decided. The grand stand was we'll
filed with spectators who followed
the races very clocely. The judges
were S. E. Winslow, of this village,
Robt. Moor of Stanstead, and E. H. |
Lothrop of Barton Landing. Time
keepers, G. A. Barrows of Troy, and

4, BASE BALL.
The base ball game the first day was
between the Barton team and team
composed of men picked from over

by two outside men played the same
team and won by score of 1913. This
game was close until near the finish
when the home team succeeded in
getting quite a lead. There was some
friendly rivalry but the game was
pleasant and quiet one and was
watched and enjoyed by a very large
crowd, showing the interest the
people have in the game The follow
