ton, n. J., and the balloon scared up
to over 1,500 feet before the aeronaut
cut loose his parachute and came
sailing gracefully down In field, half
a mile away.
The last feature on the programme,
and one that excited great interest
among the farmers and their families
was the pulling contest, between teams
of heavy draft horses. A stone boat
was loaded full of rocks and each
team took turns in trying TO pull 1t.
Additional weight was added after
each try. until the strongest team was
found This proved to be a powerful
pair of dappled grays owned by w. T..
Bennett. A. c. Salisbury's team was
next strongest.
At 4 o'clock the bugfe call came for
the soldiers sons to fall in for the
homeward march for the school, and
then the crowds began to disperse.
Long lines of vehicles were soon toll
ing up and down the steep hills in
every direction, and in an ,-S"r or so
the grounds were nearly deserted.
The display of cattle was particu-
larly fine and overfowed the boun-
daries that in years gone by had prov
ed ample. The fair in every depart
ment excelled any previous one ever
held and the officers feel very well
satisfied with the outcome of the big
gest exhibition ever held in Susque-
hanna county.
