1860 PERSONS ATTENDED DESPITE RAIN THE FIRST DAY
Complete Well Satisfactory

Into the realm of history, recent but
beyond recall, the 27th annual Valley
fair has gone, and across the record is
emphatic written Successful and
satisfactory"
Nearly all New England fairs this year
have contended with bad weather,
and the Valley fair was no exception.
1t opened under threatening conditions
Tuesday and rain fell throughout a
large part Of the afternoon, with the re-
suit that the attendance that day was
the smallest of any day in the history
of the fair. Wednesday morning the
skies were still overcast and the outlook
unpropitious, but by the middle of the
forenoon the clouds rolled away and
throughout the remainder of the day
Wednesday and all day Thursday the
weather was ideal for enjoying an out
door festival
Treasurer F. c. Adams last night fig
ured the paid admissions for three days
at 19.5o0, divided as follows; Tuesday
1900, Wednesday 12.50O, Thursday $500.
The attendance the three previous
years was $4,000 in 1911, 22.6o0 in 1910,
1850 in 1909. 1t should be, borne in
mind, however. that conditions were
more favorable in 1911 and 1910 than in
1912. More than 20,000 actually saw the
fair this year, as hundreds of school
children were admitted free the closing
day. Under the able and business-l Re
policy Of the young men who are now
running the fair it is safe to figure that
after all bills are paid there will be a
good sized balance to turn into the
treasury.
If Brattleboro followed the press agent
pronounciamento custom of the manage
ment of many fairs the public at large
would be given estimates of 10000 or
So, 900 as the attendance, but the figures
written above are the kind that will
stand the test of washing.
AS a demonstration and object lesson
of what the farms may produce, and in
its varied attractions and entertain
ments the fair was a complete, we'll
rounded autumnal festival. 1t was well
planned, we'll managed, well handled, a
fine exhibition, a fair full Of incidents
and free from accidents.
The fair will be found fully described
| on pages /, and of this paper, with
| a list of the prize winners in the horse
cattle. sheep, swine, poultry and dairy
| departments

c. B. Brown OF Whitney Point N. Y,

eties of rabbits, 30 varieties of cavies
and 12 varieties of pheasants and pea

tent and attracted much attention
The fakirs did a land office business
with the narrow strips of felt bearing
such legends as ''Everybodys doin It,"
I'm single but willing to be married."
Cant | see you homer, and such
sentiments. These and the tiny parasols
were the most popular souvenirs. The
Valley fair banners were good sellers.
Within the past month George c.
Cary of st. Johnsbury has refused an
offer of $500 for his shofthorn bull,
Thorndale, to go into the herd of May
e. Otis OF Willoughby, O.. whose bull
is said to be the best of that breed in
this country. Mr. Cary refused an offer
of 1920 for his bull and two cows which
were shown here.
There were four entries for the special
prizes offered by C. d. Whitman Of
Fishers Island to the boys under 20 who
raised potato crops and brought the ex-
hibits to the fair. The judges were
Fred Sargent and Mrs c. s. Hopkins
and they awarded $40 to Enos White of
Brattleboro, 12 years old. and s. each
to Hugh r. Corbett OF this town, 10
years old and to Robert Allen of Ver-
non
While j. w. Prentiss & Sons herd of
Holsteins from Alstead, N. H., were be-
ing unloaded from the car the big bull
Paul Beets Colantha, gentle animal,
gave his head a jerk before the rope in
his ring was unfastened, in his eager
ness to get outside, and his nose was
torn badly. Thereafter he was secured
by chains around his horns. He was the
heaviest bull on the grounds, weighing
210O pounds.
"Sherry's World in Notion" the show
that was located just inside the en-
trance, had difnculty in finding itself
after the state fair in White River
Junction las week. The apparatus was
shipped from there Friday night and dis
appeared. Tracers we're sent after the
freight car and 1t finally landed here
Wednesday morning and the show was
put together and was ready for the
crowds by the time the gates opened
Anderson, the tintype man. also found
1t difficult to locate his car after the
While River Junction fair and was moi
ready for business until Wednesday
morning.

CONTESTS IN DRAWING ARENA.
Avery's Oxen and WelIs's Horses Won
Free for or-Alls-Heavest Load Drawn
Weighed e34o Pounds.

Aside from the races and parades no
department of the Valley fair draws
larger or more attentive crowds than
the drawing contests for cattle and
horses. The enclosure was thronged
while the tests of strength were in
progress, and interest was acute
throughout. The course over which the
stone boat was drawn was in poor con-
dition, the hole made last year having
filed with sand instead of a clay and
gravel mixture, and the drivers were
agreed that their yokes could have
drawn nearly 1000 pounds more on a
proper course.
J. d. Avery of Buckland, Mass clean
ed up all the first prizes, as will be
noted by the premium list, Ansel Dick
inson's Sons of Ashuelot, N. H., being
his nearest competitor. In the open-to-
all class Mr.. Avery took first and sec
ond, pair of Devons weighing $500
pounds and a pair Of Holsteins weighing
1900 pounds, each drawing load of
934O pounds Of granite. The largest
load drawn in competition last year was
9518 pounds, the prize going to Mr..
Avery. The list of awards is given In
the premium list.
1t was about the middle of the after
noon yesterday when the drawing con-
test for horses ended. Interest cen-
tered in the free-for-all, in which there
were three entries. The winner was
H. B. Wells Of Shelburne Falls, Mass,
with a pair of seven-year- chest
nut horses weighing 5000 pounds. They
drew 1928 pounds on the boat. These
horses weighed in the same notch and
were in the pink of condition for work
or show. They are valued at $1,000. The
pair Of grays owned by Afford Pike of
Charlemont, Mass, were favorites with
the crowd and although weighing about
500 pounds less than Mr.. Wellss pair
they drew the big load foot or more,
but not the required distance. Their
high mark, which won second prize, was
1895 pounds. Wilfred Renfrew of West
Brattleboro was third. The awards:
2400 Class-1st, H. E. Akley, Vernon,
6740 pounds; I'd. H. w. Severance, Ley
den, Mass.

BEAUTIFUL PICTURE
The Bright, Aesthetic Feature Of
the Fair Wednesday
Effect It Surpassed Any Of the Auto
mobile Parades of Previous Years.


The brilliant aesthetic feature of the
fair was the decorated automobile par
ade Wednesday. Deft hands had used
flowers, foliage, vines, grasses, fruits,
flags, bunting and many other articles
in bewildering array to cover the motor
cars in artistic effect Some of the de-
signs were very elaborate, and the ef-
feet of the combination of cars circling
the track in two directions was a
striking and beautiful panoramic pic
ture. There have been automobile par
AIDES in previous years, but none that
equalled that of Wednesday in rich and
varied effects. A large proportion of
