Caledonia Fair Notes,

Harry H. Carr had large exhibit OF
agricultural tools, including grain drill,
a manure spreader, a potato planter,
husking machine, spring sleighs, sulky
plow, wheel scraper, and hay loader.
The latter machine has never been seen
on the grounds before and attracted
mnch attention. Adjoining Floral Hall
was the usual exhibit OF wares, including
gasolene engine, shown by Joseph St.
Jock, carriages and sleighs by Bundy &
Weeks, United States cream separators
and other agricultural wares.
Troop G from Fort Ethan Allen gave
fine exhibits daily and also appeared
on our principal streets every day to the
delight of those who could not 60 to the
fair. They are fine looking set of iel-
lows and their drills were the finest ever
seen in this state.
The vaudeville work was of high
class this year and gave general sat
isfaction, the work OF the pony and the
monkey being especially clever.
The CALIFORNIAN ventures to prophesy
that the so cent fare has come to stay.
President Taft, Secretary Stanley, George
c. Cary and the other directors gave the
people the best cattle show ever seen in
New England and the rest of the exhibits
were we'll worth seeing II anybody
stayed away because they felt sore that
the price was raised they are certainly to
be pited for they will never know what
they missed.
AS George C. Cary happened to be
crossing the track opposite the grand
stand Wednesday the crowd gave him a
cheer. 1t was a graceful recognition OF
his untiring efforts to make the cattle
exhibit the notable success that it was.
Owing to Wednesdays rain the man
agement crowded two c ays' racing into
one and all were decided Thursday ex-
cept the 2.22 class. This was finished
Friday morning and proved to be one OF
the best races of the entire fair. Belle
Direct was the winner, to the surprise OF
the rest of the drivers, setting pace Fri
dav that no other horse could equal
During the race she got her mark Of
