BARRE HORSES WON
TWO FIRST PLACES
At the Washington Fair Yesterday Az
tern0on-"Bigger and Better
characterizes This Years
Exhibit.

All roads led to Washington yesterday.
The one particular attraction which drew
the people there was the l4th annual
fair OF the Washington agricultural az
sociation, which finished to-day. 1t has
been one Of the most successful exhibi
tions that has ever been held in that
town. Fully 5000 people were on the
fair ground yesterday afternoon and all
appeared in the proper spirit to enjoy
all that went to make the fair a sue
cess.
Bigger and better" seems to be the
slogan of the Washington association,
and all the exhibits were greatly in
creased in size over those Of last season.
OF especial interest were the exhibitions
Of stock, including good number OF
cattle and horses.
The floral hall was all that = floral
hall is expected TO be, there being on
exhibitions various kinds OF nandicraft,
prize fruit and vegetables, and on one
side the Barre shoe company had an
extensive display Of footwear A. W..
Allen had on exhibition a more extensive
display Of farm machinery than was
ever seen at the fair before.
The midway" offered the usual at.
fractions with the usual vendors of food,
drink and souvenirs; the usual tin.
type" tent was doing a rushing business
and the man with the innocent looking
little table was raking in the usual mum
her of the shekels OF the unwary.
There were three races during the af
ternoon, the green race, the 2:24 class,
and nitch-up race. Houors in the
green race and the 2;24 class both went
to Barre horses. Fred Browns Golden
Maid" taking the green race in straight
heats, while Lady Whitcomb" Of the

in one, two, three order.

THIS BUSINESS GROWING.
Barre Gets Direct Money Transfer
Telegraph Office.

In these days of commercial rush, men
have even got the better of old Father
Time himself, and people in Barre can
send money to their friends in Scotland
and Italy tonight and have ii delivered
by tomorrow morning, while money can
be delivered to any part of the United
States or Canada in minutes only. The
marvel is done by the aid Of the tele-
graph wire
Barre people have become so accus-
toned to using the wire to send money
that the local Office OF the Western
Union has just been made direct mon
ey transfer office; that is, the operator
here can send money to any place with
out going through the necessity of tele-
graphing it to the superintendent's Office
at New Haven, Conn, and then having
it relayed to the place of destination.
Now Agent Kelley wires your money
direct 10 destination, and thus the delay
caused by the relaying Of the message
lis avoided.
Agent Kelley says that the amount Of
business done in this way il surprising.
All you have to do is to deposit your
money with the local Office and the re-
ceiver of the message on the other end
draws the money, under suitable identi-
iication. Money can be sent to all parts
of the world where the telegraph wire
reaches. There are only four other direct
money transfer Offices in Vermont.

MERCILESS POUNDING
WORE DOWN JOE CANS
Battling Nelson Again Demonstrated
His Right to Title Of Light
Weight Fighting Cham

San Francisco, Cal, Sept iO.--Bat.
ling Nelson ellnched his elaim to the
lightweight pugilistic championship by
defeating Joe Cans for the second time
at Colna Arena yesterday afternoon
The fight ended in the 2ist round when
Cans, beaten down by succession Of
blows from his sturdy couqueror, failed
to get upon his feet within the count
of ten. The veteran colored fighter was
severely punished but the champion too
bore the marks OF battle. From the
frat clang Of the gong TO the last mo.
laent Nelson forced the fighting, never
giving ground and gradually battered
down his older and less vigorous oppo.
nent.
Cans suecumbed in the twenty. first
round after being numerically trounced
Nelson in this round rained right and
left blows 10 the jaw and body and
Cans sank TO the floor. Mechanically
the now defeated fighter watched Re-
fcrec Eddie Smith wave his ,iands, ap-
parently too far gone TO hear him count
Not until the count Of ten was finished
did Cans, ashen pale, his face terribly
cut and his eyes CLASSY. attempt 70
rive. He realized. however, that it was
100 late aud feebly declared; Il have
positively fought my last battle
The fight was spectacular and at no
time did IL appear that Cans had a
chance to win. Time and again he
would shoot wicked punches at Nelson's
face and body but the latter never for
sn instant wayercd Failing TO arrest
the rushing champion at any stage,
Cans seemed TO loose heart and grad
uelIy weakened, though he often rallied
and fought back fercely.
Referee Smith after the fight gave
ont the following statement:
~Gans was all in after The ninth
round. In the twenty-frst both the
time-keeper and myself counted ten,
therefore making Nelson the winner
Cans, believe, did not know he was
counted out but il Is just as well that
he was, for Nelson had him completely
at his mercy and 1t was useless for the
game colored man to take further
beating
When Cans was seen in bis dressing
room his face presented terrible pic
ture. His right eye was closed, the
left partially so; his lips and nose were
badly laeerated and his face was puffed
out like an inflated balloon. He gave
the following statement:
