Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1899-09-18

Lee also had some good lockers
After the drivers had been shown {
load of stone was taken on the track
and the pulling qualities of horses
owned by Mr.. Putney of Coventry
Fred Parlin of Charleston and Geo,
Conley of Westmore, were tried.
There was quite number Of young
| horses on exhibition, but we failed to
get the names of the owners. The
animals are all entered under a
number SO that the judges will not
know the name of the owners, but it
would be much pleasanter for the
people if they knew the names of the
exhibitors. W. L. Dustin showed a
Spanish Tennessee bred jack, and
Calvin Coles exhibited a pair of
mules three months old.
CATTLE.
In this department as in others we
could not find the owners and about
all we can give is the names Of a few
of the exhibitors which we learned
later but we cannot give detailed
account of their stock. Several pairs
of oxen were on the ground, and we
understand that William Hinton j.
Joslyn and A. w. Wiley were exhib-
itors in this line. The showing of
Jersey cattle was very small as com
pared with former years, but there
was enough of other breeds to make
L. %1oo
exhibitors we learned of in this de-
partment were Ed. Bly, with 26 nice
Devons, VIM. and A. j. Leland, d. j.
Orne. and Geo. W. Phillips. Mr.. Phil
having some good Jerseys, and Hol-
stems. E. r. Cook, Fl. FL. Tracy made
a showing of Jerseys. Geo. Hinton
showed some Holstein cattle and A.
L. Trip had some of the same kind.
Geo. Reed showed some Ayrshires,
and W. W. Dow of Newport some
good looking Devons. E. E. Dutton,
FL. O. Dewitt, E. L. Tichurst, G. FL.
Woodward, Fl. V. Drown, w. A. Mer-
riam, A Brown, w. G. Wiggins, A. L.
Tripp, F. Gilfllan and George Clark
were among the exhibitors.
SHEEP.
The sheep pens were all we'll filed,
some OF them with exceptionally good
looking sheep, while others were
rather thin; taken as whole it
would be called as good as we have
usually seen at the fairs. w. L. Dow
of Newport showed some Shropshires
and some Merinos which we're good
ones and were among the prize win
ners. His Merinos we're not like those
usually seen in this country, the wool
being longer than the ordinary
Spanish Merino. John Thorp showed
some Shropshires, and Mr.. z. Cleve-
land had good collection Of Oxford
downs on exhibition. Herbert Leland
had some of his Leicesters there.
Among other exhibitors were L. A.
Dawson, G. FL. Hinton, VIM. Hinton.
G.. F. Reed, G. w. Conley and w. II.
Smith. There were large number of
people around the stock yards much
Of the time.
SWINE.
There is never great number of |
exhibitors in this departme ent and this |
year was 10 exception. w. B. Rich
ardson of Greensboro was among the
exhibitors and made good showing.
Herbert Leland showed some good
ows with lot of little rooters which
we're prize winners. Other exhibitors
we're E. E. Dutton, G. E. Reed and
fred Martel. The little pigs af
orded much amusement for the chill
lren.
POULTRY.
The number of birds brought on for
Exhibition obliged the management
o provide a cover for them outside
# the regular poultry house. There
we're some very good lockers present.
We noted that the pens owned by N.
4. Hubbard of this village were
retty we'll covered with premiums.
)ther exhibitors in this line were S.
). Nelson, P. ]. Plunkett, John Reed,
\. E. Dennison of Bloomington, L.
'urcotte, Fred Pierce, Claud Houston
nc Henry Pike. E. E. Dutton of
showed some rabbits,
nd John Reed some of his English
'eagle dogs. There were other ex-
lbitors whose names we could not
earn.

part of Floral hall, it being
