WINDSOR COUNTY FAIR.
Good Exhibition but Smaller Attend
ance on Account of Weather.

The ed annual exposition of the
Windsor County Agricultural society at
Woodstock had to contend with bad
weather this year, causing a marked fall
ing off in attendance. However, there
were between three and four thousand
people on the grounds Wednesday, the
25th ult, the second day of the fair, and
Thursday, being trifie more pleasant,
there was a fair crowd out.
The cattle show was a feature and
admirers of the various breeds that flour
ish in this section found something to
look at and talk about. Matthew
Hannah of West Windsor showed his
herd of Ayrshires, headed by the bull
"Frisky," which has taken % prizes at
various exhibitions. and at this fair the
herd took all the first and second ribbons.
The horse show was one of the largest
seen for some years and the high-bred
old and young stock spoke well for the
newly developing interest in breeding in
Windsor county. Fifteen brood mares
were shown, and such well known sires as
Danger Signal and Judge D., the latter
owner, H. H. Totman, also showing
another Bradlaugh stallion, Bijou.
In the sheep pens, the Shropshires and
Southdowns had perhaps the best of it in
West Windsor showed twenty or mere
head of Shropshires, taking all the first
and second prizes. The same flock made
similar sweep at the Washington
county fair at Sandy Hill, y. Y, this
year.
The exhibit of so head of swine wa all
of high-class stock, the Chester Whites
predominating, and included Berkshires
and mixed blOods.
An interesting exhibit of potatoes
grown from seed furnished by the gov
eminent and supposed TO be blightless
was made by George Aiken Of Billings
farm. There were thirteen varieties,
clean, bright and hard, from England,
Scotland, France and Germany, some oil
the seed from the latter country origi-
nally costing $500 pound. The seed
was sent 20 Billings farm. where the
tests thus far appear to be quite Success
ful.
In spite Of cool weather and some rain.
there were two days Of as good racing as
the fair ground course has ever shown
the public. In one heat. two suikys
locked wheels and nearly turned the track
together before halt could be made.
The rigs were broken but drivers and
horses escaped injury. a tire was taken
off another sulky il rub. W. II. Hin
Of Chelsea was the starter and handled
the big ii eld of horses with much skill.

One of the stalls is used for stor-

laying eggs in the storage stall, but
but we could not secure the eggs, as
the mare was ON hand first and

eat the egg.
One day she was in the yard some
distance from the stable door. In
the meantime the hen had taken
possession of the nest, laid an egg
and came off with the usual amount
Of cackle to announce the fact, the
rooster joining in the chorus. AS

Townshend Woman and Cow Lost
in Woods Over Night.

Mrs. James Ingalls,, who recently
purchased the Durham farm in
Townshend had a thrilling expert
ence one night last week. Mr.. ingalls,
was away working, so late in the
afternoon she went to the pasture to
find the cow. Now the COW had
preferred to feed elsewhere and had
gone into the Winslow pasture so
that it was nearly dark when Mrs.
Ingalls, found her and adjusted the
halter. In some way Mrs. Ingalls,
lost her bearings and went in the
wrong direction until it became so
dark that she was obliged to hitch
the COW, make bed of balsam and
camp for the night. In the mean
time Mr., Ingalls, came home, found
the house empty and went to the
neighbors, but could find no trace of
his wife. He was, Of course, very
much alarmed and passed sleep
less night, rallying help as soon as ii
was light and beginning search
which found his spouse and cow or
the old Taft place.

Woodstock 7, Barre o.

The Labor day games with the
Barre Crescents drew good crowds
considering the weather. Rain didn't
interfere with the morning session,
however, which was all Woodstock S
way after the locals took the meas
ure of the visitors. Bill Shaw got
into the game again and made good,
giving the sranlte cutters only three
hits, while Walkers catching and
throwing approached the spectacular
at times.
The Crescents are a strictly anna
teur team, with number Of first
class individual players. But their
fielding was ragged and the locals
took every chance to steal and score.
Dumas and Kelley bore away the
batting honors.
The Crescents are by all odds the
most good.natured men that ever
visited Woodstock and they took
their defeat very gracefully.

Woodstock IS, Barre o.

Part of the afternoon game was
played in a pouring rain, but the
grand stand was filled and there was
long row of umbrellas down the
first base line. Rain didn't keep
people away from the last game OF
the season.
Wyatt pitched and with more
speed than he had in Saturday S con-
test, which followed some hard work
in the middle of the week. The Wis
itors played loosely and punched
errors allowed Woodstock to paddle
around and roll up big score.
The game had its features aside
from the continuous comedy fur
nished by Stewart, the large man
behind the bat. Reid, Barrels left
fielder, started for a high foul which
carried him into the willows along
the unmapped coast line of Val
field, through which he plunged into
the brook. He waded downstream
to pick up his glove and then crawled
out into view of the surprised spec

THEY LIKED THE CITY.
GaysviIIe Boys Rode on the Street
Cars and Will Leave the Farm.

More startling than one of Jack
London's nature stories is the toll
lowing, says the Burlington Free
Press OF last Saturday: Two young
men with uncut hair and clothes that
smacked of a style several years old
wandered into the city Yesterday
from Gaysville and at the Sherwood
House barber shop declared that
they had never seen Il street car be-
fore. They wanted to know what
made them go, but appeared angry
when some person said that a pair
of horses were concealed under the
car seats.
Both youths were about Is years
of age and after having their hair
trimmed and shave invested two
nickels and rode to Winooski. In
the afternoon they appeared again
with two bags of peanuts and de-
clared their intention of going to the
lake front to see the steamboats,.
Both boys said they had worked
on farms all their lives, but were
going to change their vocations and
reside in the city.

NOTES..

The Barre Times says that "the
Woodstock team, which claims the
amateur championship of the state,
is made up Of professional ball play
ers, chief among whom is Tom
Uniac,' also mentioning Davis.
Uniac has played three games with
Woodstock ; Davis joined the team
late in the season, but aside from
these two the Woodstock team hasn't
had a professional ball player in its
ranks.
Woodstock has won 20 of the 23
games played this season.
In the past three years Wyatt has
pitched in about forty games, losing
only three of them--a record that
can hardly be equalled among the
amateur or professional circles of
Vermont or New England.
