White River Junction, VT, July A.
The trotting events at the Vermont
State Fair at White River Junction,
Sept. 20 to 90, give promise of being a
most interesting kind. Over 100 entries
have this early been made with secretary
Fred L. DAVIS, and among them are sew
eral horses that have made fast records
and won big prizes.
Connecticut, Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island horses will be seen in seve-
raj of the low record races. These
horses will be seen this season at only
the Vermont State Fair; they go to
Rochester following the date at White Riv-
er Junction. Chester Pike, the famous
starter has been secured to give the wor d
go.
Secretary Davis is getting things in
shape at the grounds. and the executive
committee is again confronted with the
problem of taking care of exhibits in all
departments. In all probability new
buildings will have to be erected.

The finding Of the skeleton unwound
long story.
-Four years ago Dean johnson found
the same box and skeleton and notified
his wife. He showed the box back under
the barn floor thinking that some person
had placed it there from an adjoining
cemetery. Further investigation show
ed that 30 years ago Frank Gonyea, who
purchased farm near Mr.. johnson, OBJ
jected to the presence of a grave and
caused he removal of body. 1t was
also discovered that an infant had been
buried near there in 1885.

sisting of Fred Spencer and Mr.. Spencer's
son, Albert, and boy. G gorge Marshall,

on the dam, which was very old, and
the boards being rotten had given away
and let him down through the sluice-
way. He left the party, Saturday after
noon unaccompanied, to go fishing.
