addition to the large amount of stock
usually shown at this fair, G. I. Hoods ex-
hibit of cattle and the Speedwel Farms
exhibit of horses will be special features in
the stock department. The vaudeville
performances to be given in front of the
grand stand will excel those of previous
years and include Genera and Theol, Rice
Bros, the LaNoles' and the MelvilIs in
their performance of daring acrobatic
feats. A large amount of money has been
offered in purses and premiums and there
is every indication that this will be one of
the most successful fairs in the history of
the association. The st. ohnsbury band
will furnish music during the fair. Gen
