THE COU MY FAIR.
A SUGGESTION FROM "FAIH PLAY.

A SUGGESTION FROM "FAlH PLAY.
Mr.. Editor:
The rule at our Fair once was
that all stock could draw the first
p,emiun but twice once during Its
growth and once after arriving AZ
maturity. Within u few years this
rule has been done away with So
that any animal after It has arrived
at maturity can continue to draw the
first premium as long as it is con-
sidercd the best. This is mistake,
as an animal hy Its fine looks, breed
inc and stock, ma. draw the pre-
miums for several wears and when it
does other exhibitors are discourage |
and deferred from showing stock
they otherwise would if they thought
there was a chance for them.
One should he satisfied with draw
Ing the first premium once on 4
mature animal. This would give
the others u chance and more stock
would hr shown.
1t is Il mistake having but one set
of JUDGES sit on all the classes OF
horses.
Sonc men may I've good Judges of
.natvhr.i horses but not ot the classes
where hr>e snv and blood lines are
to be- tunsi!>crl. The il lges hive
I To take more OF les, curses tram the
disappointed ones and where there
are several sets, one set does n"t
have to sand it all.

REV. :. 4. PARK ERR.

The sudden and serious illness ct
Rev. 5. a. Parker, noted in these
columns last week, ended in his
death early Saturday morning. The
remains were brought from Spring
field that afternoon and met by a
detachment from the White River
lodge of Masons, OF which he was
an honored and loyal member.
The funeral at his late residence
Monday afternoon WAS simple and
impressive. The service was read
by Rev. Z. A. Read and eulogies
we've spoken and prayers offered by
him and Mr.. Parlier's old time per-
sonal and clerical friend Rev. f..
Simmons of Woodstock. Interment
was made at Cherry Hill cemetery.
The deceased clergyman was the
best known OF Vermont Universe
list tlergymcn at tie time of his
death. His work in the ministry
extended over more than 40 years OF
remarkable activity. He was born
in Lcmpstcr, \. H., in 1884; educat-
el in the public schools of that town,
the academies in Washington, n.
H., and Hopkinton, N. H., and the
Green Mountain Liberal Institute,
South Woodstock, whence he was
graduated in 1855. His first wife,
Nancy Nj. Greene, of Barnard, Il
classmatc at the Institute, died il
1858, during their residence in ths
South, where Mr. Parker was en-
gagged in teaching. In 1860 he mar
ried Mary A. Hunton, of Hyde
Park, sister of Hon. A. p. Hun
ton, of this village. His ordination
to the ministry occurred in 1859
and the unusual length, activity and
success of his ministry are wei
: known to all. He will be missed
not only here but by hundreds il
other towns who looked to him as a
spiritual father.
