"A strong effort is being made by
log lovers in Brattleboro and vicinity
% have the bench show at the next
Valley fair equal in quality to the ex
liblts in other departments. This has
been far from the case in past years,
partly because little interest was taken
)y the management and also because
he appropriation for this department
vas meagre in the extreme. At the re-
ent meeting of the fair association the '
appropriation was substantially in
reased and although even now there is I
ardly enough money to make elabor- d,
tie arrangements a marked improve \
1ent in the show can be expected. I
)lasses will be established for eight or |
en- of the leading breeds, and dogs
nth no pretension to breeding will be n
laced in the miscellaneous class. An b
interesting feature of the show this Y
ear will be judging which will be
onducted in manner similar to that /
f all bench shows. V
