Exhibition in Progress at

Rutland Sept. 1o-The second day of thu
Vermont State and Rutland county joint
fair was in happy contrast to its dreary
opening. The " ca ther was fair and about
1000 people were in attendance. Senator
k"dtcld IrCctor WAS among the patrons.
The track was a trine heavy but notwith-
standing this the races were excellent.
The mixed event for purse Of $500 which
remained unfinished after five heats Was
one of the most interesting of any run in
this section.
The 2:i5 race was also unfinished on ac-
count of darkness after three heats wer3
trotted and these two events will be i'm
ishcd to morrow.
The exhibits received their share of at
tention. The cavalry men and their tents
were big attraction and their drill was
one of the features Of the meet The
troops are and | of the Second United
States cavalry from Fort Ethan Alien
commanded by Capt. c. ]. stevens and
Lieut.. y. g. Mumma. The balloon ascon-
sion lacked the star feature Of a man and
parachute blown from 4 canvass in mid

that the man performing the act was kill

CONDITION OF CROPS.

There was an excellent growth of nearly
all crops the first half Of the week owing
to abundant sunshine and warmer wea-
ther. The rains of the latter part werc
OF much benefit to the drougnty localities.
Frosts, ranging from light to killing, were
reported from all six States occurring
on Saturday morning. LII the southern
portion of the district the damage was
light, if any, but it is most probably that
considerable damage was done In Maine.
New Hampshire, and Vermont. LII some
uCalities tender vegetation was cut down,
and some Of the harder crops injured.
Grain. The harvesting of the small
grains is practically completed, the returns
showing good yields. Oats were somewhat
damaged by lodging, but could, in most
cases, be utilized for fodder. Corn has I'M
proved rapidly, but the untaVorablc con
ditions that prevailed Throughout the sea-
son viii efectually prevent the obtaining
of more than partial crop. 1t is feared
that much sweet corn destined for canning
WAS destroyed by the frost, many helus
were in the milk stage.
Grass. Some cutting of rowen has been
done with generally good yield. and the
faVora BILE weather has allowed it to be
cured in good shape. The seasons hay
crop as whole. appears to be above Tho
average in quantity. but large amounts
were put in the barn III poor condition ow-
ing to the injury from excessive rains
exceptions being mainly in Rhode Island
and Connecticut.
Fruit. The status of the apple crop re-
mains about the same as previously esti-
ated; large yield of fall varieties In
nearly all localities. and deficiency in
the winter varieties, except in some few
PAGES. the notable exceptions being in parts
of Connecticut. where the crop is above the
average in quantity and, in most cases, of
excellent quality. The harvesting of the
cranberry crop has continued with salts
factory results.
Vegetables. Most garden vegetables are
doing we'll, except. as before noted
sQuaShcS and melons. Rust Is appearing
among the cucumber vines and doing much
damage Frost, also, has caused injury
Reports of damage to potatoes from blight
and rot are more numerous this week
some correspondents estimating that not
more than half crop will bc secured from
fields that promised earlier in the season
to yield above the average Where not af-
fcctcd by rot the tubcrs are large. though
generally, with but few in a hill Growers
are marketing the crop as rapidly as pos
sible, fearing further loss if it is put in
the cellar.
Tobacco. The weather was generally
favorable for the cutting and curing of
tobacco, and all reports received show
great satisfaction with the probable result
of the seasons work. There has been
some loss Of the lower leaves. but it is
thought that this may be obviatcd by MAX
Ing an earlier cutting of these leaves, leav-
ing the others to develop longer
