DOG RIVER VALLEY FAIR.
Well Attended Exhibit at Mortified.
Premiums and Races.

Premiums and Races.
About 5000 people attended the Dog
River Valley fair at Mortified last week,
1000 of whom were on the grounds
Wednesday. Considering the dry, dusty
and uncomfortable weather, the patron
age was very gratifying. The people saw
. good fair, too-fully up to those of for
mer years. In horses and cattle there
was 3 larger and better showing than
usual; more classes filled and better ami
mails exhibited. Sheep were slim and
swine almost minus. Poultry and pets
were there in abundance and drew much
attention. Vegetables, grain and fruit
reflected q productive season. The ladies
quite outdid themselves in Floral hail
and put up by far the best display in
fancy work, especially, ever shown here.
AL the purses and premiums we're paid
in full.
Governor F. d. Proctor visited the fair
Wednesday and spoke briefly from the
judges stand. The Green Mountain
band of Randolph furnished music and
the Norwich cadets, 10 strong, gave ex-
hibition drills both days. There were no
other special features.
One can gain an idea of the extent and
variety Of the exhibits in the different
