very good and the little rooters af-
rem. Those who exhibited animals
in this department, as far as we could
learn, were B. S. Gallup, G. Fl. Hin.
ton, A. E. Going and E. @. Baker.
POULTRY.
In building the new poultry house
the association expected that they
had provided ample accommodations
for all the poultry that would be
shown at the fair for many years, but
this year the space was completely
! filed and the manager was obliged to
provide for many exhibits which
could not be placed in the pens pro
| Vided in the house. The number of
birds on exhibition far exceeded those
of former years and the birds were
fully up to the usual standard. It ap-
pears that this house will need en-
larging, as we'll as the dog house, as
the two departments under the eff
cient management of Mr.. Hubbard
and Mr.. Robinson are showing a re-
markable increase in the number and
variety of exhibits made. Hares shown
by the Green Mountain Belgian Hare
Company Of West Waterford, VT,
were excellent specimens of their kind
and were favorites with the children.
In the poultry house there was fair
exhibitions Of turkeys, geese, guinea
fowls, ETC., and if the inte rest in this
department continues to increase
there will be still larger exhibition
in these classes another year.
DOGS.
The dog show was decided success
and the dog house was filed and a
tent which was placed near was also
crowded with dogs. There were 68
entries, fifty four OF them being for
competition. Among them were some
very fine animals. The Judging was
done Wednesday forenoon and was
highly satisfactory to all. The entries
in this department have greatly in
creased during the past few years and
unless new and larger house is pro-
vided before another year, from
present indications, the association
will not be able to accommodate but
small per cent of those who wish to
exhibit their animals.
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.
Although poor crops are being re-
ported in some of the classes in this
department the showing made this
year was fully up to the average. The
various kinds of fruit and vegetables
were arranged on large tables in
most artistic manner and attracted
the attention Of all who visited floral
hall Mr.. @. S. Gibbs of Barton Land
ing made large and varied display
which brought out many favorable
comments. Other exhibitors we're:
Peter Lippens, Arthur Salmon, Geo.
Wilson, n. NJ. Lewis, c. NJ. Warbois,
Milo Gay, James Cameron, w. S. May,
@. II. Woodward, Hamilton Collins,
Geo. Norton, T. I'll. Skinner & Son,
4. r. Wakeman, Frank Day, Charlie
Hunter, S. S. Johnson, FL. FL. Tracey,
NJ. E. Calkins, n. 7. Lyman, William
Wiggin and e. Fl. Wright.
BUTTER CHEESE AND SUGAR
Vermont has long been famous for
the quality of it's maple sugar and dairy
products, and the quality of the but
ter, cheese and sugar on exhibition
proved that this distinction still be-
longs to the Green Mountain State.
Among the exhibitors in this depart
ment were E. w. Barclay, j. L.
Dodge, Glover Creamery Co., w. M:
Stevens, N. M. Lewis, Geo. Robinson,
Mrs. Henry Conway, M. E. Calkins,
Milo Gay, George Bean, Warren Cas-
well, j. @. Oliver and others.
HOUSEHOLD AND ORNAMENTAL.
The display in this department was
very large, there being GIL entries
made and over 1000 articles were ON
exhibition. The second story of the
Floral Hall was reserved for the ex-
hibit of needlework and paintings and !
while the articles were arranged in |
most tasteful manner the space was
hardly adequate to the display. This
room was finished with the intention |
of using it for children's department,
but was not completed in season to |
permit the management to make the |
announcement for this year but |
another year it will be devoted to |
children's work. We noticed many |
beautiful pieces of Battenberg swork |
and point lace, some of them being |
especially fine and delicate, and it is
evident that the ladies of Orleans |
County are becoming experts in
modern lace making. The amount of |
