Vermont, but very fast, finishing sec
ond in the Grand Circuit with Earl

and 2:0l 1-2. Her driver is William

jockies that ever won a race. Another

Morgan Horse club of New York was
on fairgrounds and expressed himself as
very much pleased with the large and
excellent showing of Morgans here.
He went from here to the Gov
ernmentI Stock Farm in Weybridge
Wednesday, the lsecond day, brought
thousands Of people. At nine o'clock
the judges started their work of ex-
amining the entries and awarding the
premiums. The exhibits at the fair
this year is pronounced by all who have
seen them to be the most excellent in
number and quality. The fair itself is
one continual big show which reflects
much credit on the exhibitors and the
management. A special attraction at
the fair this year is the showing of fish
and game, some of the finest specimens
of fish inhabiting the waters of Yer
mont will be found on exhibition. The
rain of Monday afternoon and evening
was all that could be desired to max
the newly surfaced race track in per
feet condition for the long and interest
ing list of races that were trotted off
during the fair. The midway this year
was the largest that ever gathered to-
gether on these grounds. Beginning
near the main entrance at the right the
ocean wave and merry go-round held
forth; then the eyes are attracted by a
street of tents at the left with flags and
banners flying extending nearly the
whole length of the ground with all
sorts of takers and places of amuse-
ments. A free entertainment was
given opposite the grand stand during
the entire afternoon, which included
Manual Herzog and his military stall
lions, ''The Winkler Kress Trio" and
other free vaudeville attractions. The
Middlebury and Vergennes bands fur
nished excellent music for the fair.
Mechanics hail. under the direction of
William Jackson, is attracting an I'M
usual amount of interest this year,
owing to its exhibit of up-to-date ma
chinery and farming implements, many
of which are new to the farmers in
this vicinity.
According to the number of tickets
sold there were 6710 persons on the
grounds Wednesday and 1875 tickets
were sold for the grand stand. This
was slightly in arrears of last year on
account of the weather as it was cooler
and did not rain and many avaled them
selves of the sun and remained in the
open to watch the races. The races
in the afternoon were very satisfactory
and proved to be interesting from the
start to finish. We give below a sum-
