tendance at the Dog River Valley fair at
Northfeld, il being estimated that about
5000 people were present during the day.
Tue people came by team and train. The
trains were crowded to overfl jwiug both
ways, and seats we're out OF sight literally
as tho platforms aud aisles Of the cars we're
crowded. The last rain, special, left for
the north At a little after p. M, carrying
away those who were unable TO get on
board the earlier trains. IL WAS estimated
chat about 1000 people attended from Barre
and Montpelier alone.
AS to teams, they presented spectacle
not to be forgotl en-, as they were leaving the
gtounds for the home trip. AS the grounds
are on high plateau the teams could b
watched for d half lie or more up and
down the river road. There was constant
stream OF all sorts Of rigs pouring ont Of the
main entrance for close on TO an hour and y
half.
A peculiar feature Of the crowd was its
sobriety and gooI humor, perfect order
reigniug and no smash-up occurring.
There were no intoxicants orsubs flutes n
sale on the grounds and no rows occurred.
The management is to be congratulated in
this respect as well rs in many others.
The DAY WAS perfect, although quite COOL
and while waiting for the trains along the
borders OF the track knots OF people would
start little bontires Of light material in Or
der to keep warm.

repaired and improved this year. An adj
uitlon OF thirty five feet square has been
added to fl Jrsl hall and picket fence with
guard rails has been constructed around
the trotting track.
