THE cAVALRYMEN's EXHIBITION.

Saddle and Bareback Drills, Demonstra.
ton of Butts Manual and HIppodrome
Racing.
Troop G of the 18th United States
Cavalry, stationed at Fort Ethan Allen,
aroused the enthusiasm of spectators
both days by their drills, in which they
demonstrated precision of movement,
skill in riding and in the conduct of
horses. Each day they gave on the tan
BARK inside the racing track two exhi-
bition drills, one in the saddle in fun dress
uniform and the other bareback riding
This was the more spectacular, as IL
brought out the pyramid riding, with
eight men on four horses, the hurdlinR
in which the men riding two on three
horses vaulted from the outside completely
over the middle horse and landed on the
outside animal. Each afternoon on the
track in front of the grandstand the
cavalrymen dismounted and went through
Butts manual including the gymnastics
known as the setting-up exercise. Some
daredevil riding was seen Thursday in
what is known as the hippodrome race
three OF the soldiers, standing on bare
backs, driving each three horses abreast
at terrific speed down the track. This
was a regular arena scene in its fine
frenzy"
This troop has so men with horses, and
is accompanied by the usual camp wagons
etc. The commander was First Lieut.
Sam Leer with I'd Lieut.. Victor Foster
second In command and I'd Lieut.. w. w.
Barringer as acting quartermaster. The
latter was formerly in the ranks in the
volunteer service in the Philippines but
by bravery on the field of battle he won
his promotion to a commission. This
troop is something Of communistic affair
when at the fort. The men have ac-
cumulated over $4,000 in the common
treasury, largely through saving from the
ration allowance, and the property owned
in addition includes two cows and $50
hogs and pigs. The men conducted them
selves well off the drill field, and the feel
ing Of all toward them was come again" Z"
The soldiers have been on the road about
three weeks. They first crossed the state
from the fort to the fair at Barton. They
went next to St. Johnsbury and from that
place to Brattleboro, arriving here Tues
day after hard marches. The troop broke
camp today and started for the fair in
Claremont, where they win give exhi-
billions next week and then return to the
fort.

ticular department. But it was pardon
able, considering the change from the old
dog shows with a few animals of varied
kinds and conditions, arranged and judg-
ed without system, as compared with a
standard show in which nothing but
registered stock was allowed, and in
which the winners were decided by one
of the best known experts in the country
The dogs were exhibited in a special
tent with new pens, raised, in which
they could be easily seen. There were
about 200 specimens and over $50 entries
The st. Bernard, Boston terrier, cocker
spaniel and collie classes were especially
large and fine
DR.. William E. Jarvis of Claremont
made all kinds Of winnings with his Ch
Shan Law, the best Irish setter in the
United States, bred by DR.. c. A. Gale Of
Rutland and shown here by him last year.
The st. Bernards Of the Willowmere
Farm at Sound Beach, Conn, Miss A. A.
Marx owner, included some of the most
remarkable dogs of that class, with both
shaggy and smooth coats. There were
eight Of these dogs, including willowmere
Judge, S4S37, and Ch. Baby Beautiful,
7SS02. The frame back of these dogs con-
tanned over 200 blue ribbons won at other
shows.
In the Irish setter class, Fireball Mack,
owned by James Paris of Brockton,
Mass, beat Hebden Celtic, owned by Mr..
Lacy, editor of the American Stock
Keeper, who was judge here last year.
The competition between these two was
a much debated question among the big
concourse of fanciers from all over New
England. The majority, however, were
OF the opinion that James Mortimer of
Hampstead, l.. l., the Judge, did we'll in
deciding in favor of the larger specimen
which, despite his cropped ears was a
striking animal owing to his style and
animated appearance.
The judging of the dogs, which took
place in the open ring, was watched at
all times by an interested crowd. Mr.
Mortimer has the reputation of being the
best all-around judge in the United
States, and he is well versed in all de-
partments Of fancy farming.
James E. Hair of Bridgeport, Conn,
owned a remarkable pair of English set
ters, including Ch. Queens Pride and
Albert's Rumney Ranger. George
Stephens of Boston, with Ch. Stephens
Rex, entered for specials only, pulled of
the cup offered by the Boston Terrier club
for the best Boston terrier in the show.

dog went to H. w. Weymouth of Walpole,
N. H, with fox hound. NJ. T. Mason of
Northampton had four of the best show
pointers ever raised f. E. Perry of
Brattleboro had a pointer bitch of ex-
cellence, by name Pearl Pointer, sired by
Hal Pointer, dam Jingo's Dot, by Ch.
Gingo Pearls Dot Mr.. Perry bought this
dog in South Dakota only two weeks ago.
She has pretty brown and white color

Gov. and Mrs. Bell and three mem
bers Of the governors stan, Gen. N. G.
Williams and Coils Scharff and Billings,
and Senator Proctor were guests of the
association and occupied on Thursday the
centre of the grand stand. with surround
ings Of national colors. With them were
Congressman Haskins, Mrs. l.. X Fuller,
Mrs. G. w. Hooker and others. At 1.30
Gov. Bell and Senator Proctor were driven
around the race track in an open barouche,
accompanied by James Fisk Hooker. They
were then escorted to the judges stand,
where both spoke briefly. Gov. Bell ex-
pressed his delight in attending the
agricultural exhibition of the valley which
leads the world. He spoke OF the COM
mendation of the fair which he had heard
in other states. While the governor was
speaking the wind whisked his hat toward
the band stand and when Senator Proctor
rose he made a hit OF this incident by
stating that while the governor had lost
his hat he never lost his head. The
Senator INDUCED in a variety of felicita-
tions. He said that he had been attending
fairs rs years and this was the best one
that he had ever seen; that the Valley
Fair might be advertised as "the biggest
show on EARTH" and the expression would
be used as truthfully as when employed
by Barnum. He said that there was no
better place TO hold a fair than here in
the centre of the Connecticut valley, and
toward the close set people laughing with
his quotation from an alleged Northamp-
ton poet:
Roll on, loved Connecticut,
Long have you ran;
Bringing shad to Northampton
And freedom to man.
The Senator added that we might be a
little short OF shad now, but Inere was a
good deal OF freedom left.

ture-some Of the Specimens Were
Works Of Art.
The west half OF floral hall was de-
voted to the educational department, and
the people who thronged those quarters
were lavish in their expressions Of ad-
miration. The work shown was from the
schools of Bellows Falls, Turner's Falls,
Northfield, Leyden, Bernardston, Gill,
vernon, Putney and the Brattleboro town,
village and parochial schools. The ex-
hibit OF the art department Of the Brat
tleboro village schools, in charge Of Mrs
b. V. d. Crosby supervisor of drawing,
was arranged very effectively in the east
end Of the apartment. 1t covered the four
walls of section l, and the window spaces
of section 2 were covered with OPAQUE
paper and In them were fitted many
original designs for stained glass windows
The window designs, the work of pupils
in the Brattleboro schools, not only en-
hanced the excellence Of the exhibit but
served to soften the light with a pleasing
effect on all the work exhibited
Some very excellent work of the Brat
tleboro high school also was shown, in
cluding water color, pen and ink, and
mechanical drawings Not as much me-
chanical drawing was shown this year.
but 1t was Of excellent quality. The paper
cutting, ink and color work Of grades
and was surprisingly good and showed
great interest among the younger pupils
The exhibit from all the grades presented
some very excellent work in design as well
as construction and decoration of many
small articles, among which were original
designs for wall paper calenders, valen-
tines, boxes, broom holders, Japanese
fans, report card folders etc Some work
in sewing also was shown including sofa
pillows and cross-stitch designs drawn
and worked by the pupils In the depart
ment OF manual training the match
holders, sleds, brackets, etc, made by
the boys, were very excellent
The correlation of child life in other
lands with the changing seasons was
shown effectively by work done in grades
/ and 2. Much interest was shown in the
miniature Japanese garden, Dutch village
and Eskimo igloo.
Particularly fine work was shown from
the Mortified schools r. F. Howard
superintendent of the Mortified schools
also superintendent of the department of
education, showed decided progress along
the line OF industrial training. fully
worked out course in cardboard construc-
ton, as well as a course in sewing, show
ed Mr.. Howard's interest in the manual
arts. Only one exhibit in sewing for the
home department was received, but even
this is encouraging. The home depart
ment doubtless will be in a fourishing
condition next year.
The West Brattleboro and Centreville
schools gave evidence of hard work on
the part OF both teachers and pupils
Continued interest was shown in the mus
cular movement writing by st. Michaers
parochial school The daily practice Of
the last two years has brought its own re-
ward. The ungraded schools deserve
special mention because Of their PAINS
taking work.

All Things Beautiful.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
The purple-headed mountain,
The river, running by,
The morning and the sunset
That lighteth up the sky.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who hath made all things well.

If the people of Brattleboro and vicinity
prefer some other piano than the ESTEY,
at least buy standard make. But don't
go out of town with the idea that you are a
close buyer and have saved yourself $50 or
$1oo. There are just as clever people as
you, and you will pay full price for your
purchase.
Buy at home-of us or of the local dealers,
but insist on a standard make. Don't buy
anybody's and or 3rd grade. It's dangerous.
There are good pianos sold for fair prices.
Don't pay 5000 for a name you never heard
of before, when the same amount will buy a
piano that costs to make, at least twice as
much as the unknown. A splendid stock
of new Estey Pianos await your inspection.
Prices a little less than others ask for
same grade. Terms reasonable.
