beautiful b lack span that won second
premium in the same class. Perhaps
as nice looking a span as was shown
was the beautiful black gel dings
owned and driven by Fl. E. Lane of
Newport. These were admired by
the crowds that thronged the grand
stand and all others. E. W. Haywood
showed some fine chestnuts which
won second premium on the driving
class The crowds always cheered
when Strauss brown gelding appeared.
In the Ladies' class, Miss Kate Drew
drove a fine chestnut which was
thoroughly trained and went through
some pleasing evolutions. Mrs. Chas.
Watson also drove span Of gentle
bays in a manner which showed she
had been used to holding the ribbons.
There was a very good show of
poultry SO considered by poultry
raisers and dealers at the fair. The
largest number OF exhibits was by
Thomas W. Norris of Newport, who
makes a specially Of raising Brown
Leghorns and Barred Plymouth Rocks.
Mr.. Norris also showed, besides his
special favorites, some fine White
Plymouth Rocks, Red Comb White
Leghorns, r. I. Red CockereIs, Light
Bramahs, White Plymouth Rocks and
a few Black Minorcas. The best dis
play according to the number of birds
was shown by n. M. Hubbard of Bar
ton. He had seven cases and re-
ceived more money than any exhibitor
for numbers shown. For several
years Mr.. Hubbard has carried off a
good number Of premiums from the
several fairs where he has exhibited
his choice stock of birds. This year
he showed thirty seven birds consist
ing of White and Buff Wyandottes,
White Plymouth Rocks, Partridge
Cochins, Buff Cochin Bantams, and a
few Sebright Bantams. He got six
teen first premiums seven second and
four special. Frank Tower of Barton
showed sixteen birds consisting of
Buff and White Leghorns, White Ply
mouth Rocks, Black Minorcas and a
Partridge Cochin hen. He won seven
first premiums and four second pre-
niums. Leslie Porter of West Derby
exhibited fifty-five game birds, many
Of which were very fine specimens,
and G. L. Kinney had three cases of
Buff Plymouth Rocks which were high
class birds.
The Lyndonville Military band was
listened to with much pleasure. Some
very choice music was executed bril-
liantly by the musicians, who have
practieed until they harmonic almost
to perfection. Boden Church who
has recently been engaged to lead the
band, gave some fine exhibitions of
his skill in playing difficult solos.
Several skilful acrobatic and trapeze
performers entertained the people
during the intervals between the
heats of the races. The races Thurs
day were interesting by reason of
their being SO closely contested. Five
heats were required in the 1926 class.
The attendance the second day was
between three and four thousand, the
following day the attendance was
somewhat smaller. We were unable
to get the list of premiums for this
issue, but will give it in our next.
