Valley Fair Notes.

Inquiries received at the office of Sec
retary o. F. Benson from the Speedwell
Farms at Lyndonville indicate an excellent
exhibit of Brown Swiss cattle from that
establishment. The Speedwel Farms ex-
hibt will also include a string of purple
bred horses
The managers of the fair association will
be generous to the young people this year.
In addition to the various special pre-
miums offered to boys and girls in several
departments announcement is made that
all children under Is years of age will be
admitted free Tuesday, Sept, 20.
The managers of the Valley Fair as
sociation, pro6ting by last seasons ex-
perience with Aviator Schmitt of Rutland
will not attempt to give the fair patrons
anything in the way of aviation stunts
Doubtless many people would come to the
fair to see a birdman but if for any reason
the aviator did not fly hundreds of people
would go away disappointed Consequently
the fair managers will not take the chance
of disappointing its patrons.
Patrons of the fair who have been obliged
to use the old paddocks along the east side
of the grounds owing to the crowded con
dtion of Barn B will appreciate the new
quarters provided by the erection of a
commodious barn $50 feet long containing
% box stalls. This barn is so situated
that it is easily accessible from the east
gate and from other parts Of the grounds
1t stands directly in front of the water
trough north of Barn B. There is ample
space in front of the barn for the exercis-
ing of horses on halter.

FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Possible That Three Games With Ben
nington Nav Be Played Here.

There is good prospect that Ben
nington NAV vet see a little more base
| ball before the curtain is rung down on
! the season of 1911. The assertion made
in BrattleborO that the management
of the Twin State league team in that
town would claim the championship of
| Vermont has stirred the directors and
the manager of the Bennington team
to issue challenge for n series of
games, two to be played in Bennington
and two in BrattlebOrO, and the fifth, If
necessary on a neutral field.
All of the Bennington players with
the exception of Prindle are now play
ing in the Twin State league, but only
one, Bosk is with Brattleboro. The sea
son in the Twin State league will end
on Monday and the players would then
be at liberty to enter into the proposed
post t.league series.
Such series for the championship
of the state it is believed would be a
successful venture, both from base
| ball and financial standpoint. The at.
tendance during the closing games of
the season here was not nearly so good
as in 1910 and by many the lack of in
terest was attributed to the fact that
there was nothing at stake in the form
of rivalry to attract the crowds. a
series for the state championship ought
to bring out an attendance that would
eclipse any crowd of the past season;
A telephone message was received at
the Banner office this morning. from
Brattleboro to the effect that the de-
tails of the proposed series would be
taken up at once. The Brattleboro
management is convinced that its ag-
gregation of ball PLAYERS is the best
that has beensput together in the state
during the present season and is ready
and willing to prove it, provided the
necessary details can be arranged

being the idea of the former that
series of three games be played in Brat
