oy Kanaris I'd, an s-year-old bull. In
the herd we're two aged COWS imported
from France and showing the fine brin.
ole marks typical Of the breed.
AS respects numbers and presumably
money value, the Jerseys led all others Al
the fair. Prominent among the exhihi.
tors was J. @. Rowland, owner Of Que.
Chez FEELS farm, Quecnee, +. Warren
Wiggin, manager. The herd consisted
Of u head OF choice imported stock head
ed by Golden Oxford, years old, and
winner OF first prize. All told, the herd
won at the fair frsts and seconds.
Another herd Of Jerseys on exhibition
was that OF A. F. Pierce, sheomet farm.
Winchester, n. H., consisting OF IA head
led by Island Lode Star, years, and win
ner OF second at both Syracuse and this
fair, this season. Mr.. Pierce won first
on bull and get, and all told 8 firsts and s
! seconds. In the herd is the bull calf,
Lilac's Lode Star, II months old, and
winner Of two gold medals in its'class, an
unparalleled record for his age. The calf
is valued at $1,000.
T. @. Bronson Of Brondale, East Hard
wick, had present his herd Of II head,
led by The Warden, three years old. Mr.
Bronson won fret on cows in milk (;
lst on 4 best cows, and the Darling cup

Geo. {. Jones, proprietor Of Hawk
hurst, Newport, \. H., made an exhibit
for the first time Of promising herd Of
seven bead. The bull in this herd was
the imported "The Hawk" two years
old, and he was an easy winner of first
prize In his class.
A herd OF II Jerseys Of proven worth
and genuine utility was shown by n. W.
Emerson, The Elms, Etna, n. II. INDIE
pendent OF TacOnic, a two-year-old, head
ed the herd. The cows in this herd are
noted for performance at pail and churn,
as is shown by the fact that Mr.. Emerson
won first on dairy print butter ct the fair
on a scale OF IS points. Another herd OF
Jerseys Was that shown by c. ID. HAGEN,
Jr., owner OF Brookdsle farm, White
River Junction, and headed by the bull,
Brown Lassie's Son, 5 years old. It was
q clean herd and intelligently displayed.
THE DAIRY EXHIBIT.
The dairy exhibit at this years fair
wss the slimlnest yet, meagre as il has
been at all preceding fairs. As dairying
is the states largest single industry, it
would see that this department should be
among the largest and most complete at
the fair. The whole manner Of the ex-
hihit is wrong and does not compare
favorably with that OF the average cross
roads cattle show. Year By year, the dis
play dwindles in size and comprehension,
and il is the generally expressed opinion
that it would be better to cut it out en-
tirely than to have il as il is.
The department this year included dis
plays Of honey and maple sugar and
syrups, and right next to the exhibits Of
the butter. cheese, honey and sugar was a
display OF fertilizers and agricultural
chemicals, a combination that made the
camels and dromedaries in q fair side
show sit up and howl. 1t was comhin-
alton that the health officers OF many
states In the land would not permit for an
instant in country side corner grocery.

HORSES.
The exhibit OF horses, other than those
anticipating in the various track events
vas in all essentials grand one. True,
n sense il was one-sided considering
hat close to IFS Morgans were shown,
hev greatly outnumberiug all others
A special feature, and to
nanv the great feature OF the horse eX-
.ibif was the exhibit OF Percheron aud
,slgian horses made by w. Il. Miner,
Iesrt's Delight farm, Chazy, \. ", Z.
Hamilton. manager. Intense ana
Iossv black was the predominant color
: the Percherons, and brown OF the
rocky Belgisns. Altogether the exhiolt
al one Of the most interesting ana al
-actiye sights ever seen on the grounds.
Another especially attractive exhibit
a. the show OF WEIGH ponies rom the
needwell farms Of I. n. Vail, LYNDON
lie There we're nearly score OF the
,tle beauties on exhibition. French
zach horses we're also shown oy speeu-
IN farm and few Percheron horses.
The Morgan horse exhibit included
no buneb from the stable OF the Federai
1vernment at Weybridge. The general
