The public will be "up against the real

Sept 20 and q.
They may have seen an agricultural fair
in its pristine simplicity, they may have
seen an agricultural fair with a coaching
parade appendage, and they may have
seen a coaching parade with an agricult-
ural parade appendage.
But the real thing is the Valley Fair.
Those who have seen Valley Fairs
know the magic of the words. They
know that they mean an ensemble which
spells satisfaction in your brain when all
is over and you rush to the carriage of the
individual with expansive lungs who bel
lows Fright away down town."
But to the uninitiated 1t may be well TO
state that the Valley Fair is the one exhi-
bition of the year which is complete in all
departments and details, and that 1t is the
fair which originally started, and has al
ways excelled In, a coaching parade as a
picturesque feature Of its autumnal festi-
val.
Hundreds of thoroughbred cattle, includ-
ing the biggest prize winners in the differ
ent breeds, will be on exhibition. The
Brlarciff farm OF Westchester county,
New York, the Hood farm of Lowell,
Mass, and the Guilford Springs farm of
Guilford Centre will be represented by
large herds of the finest Jerseys, with sim
gle animals worth hundreds of dollars.
j. b. Palmer Of Jewett City, Conn,
who has won several thousand dollars in
prizes with his big herd Of Gurnseys in
the past three or four years, will come
here direct from the Taunton fair.
The display of Durhams will be unusu-
ally large. G.. 4. Taylor & Son of Shell
burne, Mass, will bring the herd which
took all of the blue ribbons in their class
at the New England fair, and the fine
herds Of the Homestead farm at Walpole
and Geo. c. Cary's Lookout farm at North
Danvile will also be seen.
T. o. Taylor of Sanbornton, n. H.. will
be leading exhibitor of Herefords. Two
other notable herds which have made the
circuit of the big fairs are W. II. Meals
Devons from Meredith, n. H., and G. Il.
Wadleighs Red Polled cattle from Titon,
n. II. The Brattleboro Retreat and W.
d. Newton Of West Brattleboro will be
represented by Holsteins.
S. j. Breck OF Claremont, n. H., f. &
Z. l. Benson Of Woodstock, and the w.
F. Richardson company Of BrattleboTo
have entered about 80 yokes Of oxen and
steers-specimeDs which will be admired
for their size and strength.
II Is expected that the Glendower stock
farm of South Newbury will bring here
the hackneys which have been con-
| spicuous winners at the big New York and
Boston horse shows. The Connecticut
River stock farm OF Hatfield, Mass, will
bring a large collection Of high bred horses
Of different ages. Prince Lavelard, 2 12t
and Charles Miners Vega, 210t, will be
among the fine stations. A. T. Batchel-
der of Keene will show Sulphide Wilkes
and several young horses, and Mr.. o. Brien
of Rockingham will have a first class gen.
eral exhibit.
B. B. Morrell Of Stanstead, p. O., will
bring here seven varieties of sheep. At
the big Rochester, n. a., fair he won %
out of a possible 25 prizes in the classes in
which he competed. j. B. Palmer of jew
ett City will bring Dorsets, Leicesters and
| Shropshires and Cashmere goats. S. j.
Breck of Claremontwill enter a large flock
Of Shropshires.
Enumeration in the poultry, swine and
| dog departments, in agricultural hall, in
machinery hall, in the fancy goods depart
ment, etc, etc, shows that the finest ex-
! hibits Of the different classes will crowd
the available space, and that high stand
ards Of excellence will be set up.
