New City. Rockland county. New York.
opened three days fair yesterday under
the auspices OF the Rockland County In
distral Association. II was the twenty
sixth annual affair OF its kind. and undoubt-
edly this years attempt must be written as
a distinct success. The weather was grand
and the crowd big a nd enthusiastic over what
IL saw. People came In every conceivable
conveyance, train. auto. gig. carryall. coupe.
blackboard. and any old thing AZ to ride on
wheels.
Besides a trottins race and dog show.
which were the main features. there were
exhibits Of live stock. ducks. geese. hens.
turkeys and every food stun and vegetable
that ever grew on . farm. Hard BY on the
crest Of a hillock tho Twenty-third Regiment
OF Brooklyn was encsmped. and with Ito
music. drills and sham battles gave variety
to the occasion.
The trottlnR race brought out q field of
twelve entries. Tho local followers Of the
snlRy struck snas In Ogden Smith. black
horse by Island wilkes and owned by H.
Williams OF New York city. The animal.
without the semblance Of break. won three
straight heats, His best time was 2:zeX.
but on a good track any day he oan clip q
big margin OF these figures. Each time
his driver had lots to spare.
novel and interesting feature Of the
fair was the sheep dog trials which con-
sisted of an exhibition Of hauling and driving
sheep as might be seen on tho Scotch hills
or on the Western prairies. For the purpose
OF carrying out the act two crack sheep dogs,
two shepherds and half a dozen hardy hog
gets were brought from the farm Of Major
Norvcrneur NJ Carnochan. In the neighbour
hood, The dogs one gray and one red
we're dead ringers for Bob Son Of Battle and
Red Wull. and they acted In keeping with
their mythical prototypes. The red one
named Cairnsmulr Jack, and tho cog
nomen Of the gray dog Of the hills was Cairns
muir Laddie.
Three sheep were allotted to each. dog.
and Red Wull was first out. being set at the
job Of hauling. This consisted OF bringing
the sheep distance Of about 500 yards from
shed and pennins them in front Of the grand
stand. After that he was to drive them
around the track over two artificial bridges
and through three rush hurdles and pen
them again. Red Wul did well for . while
after the sheep left the shed. but they baked
at the crowd. The dog fsltered and could
not work them on to tho track. However,
seeing that he was unable to steer his charges
to the destination, the dog turned them and
drove them through the bridges and hurdles,
landing them in the pen In six minutes.
Then came the gray deg for q stirring
exhibition. When the sheep left the shed no
got them on the run. and with series of en-
circling movements and all the time barking.
and with his eyes sparkling. he drove them
straight across the grounds and on to the track
pin could have been heard drop as tho dog
worked the sheep to the pen. At a signal
from the shepherd he br GU ght them out for
the drive" With the same rare instinct
the gray dog sent the hui sets trotttng before
him back across the ground. around the
IL
keeping up the Same barking and buck jump
ing antics. Straight - the barrel Of rife
he piloted the sheep to the pen. and rouslns
cheer which woke the echoes OF the surround
ing hills broke out. His time was 3 minutes
and 80 seconds.
The dog show proper was the most success
