State Fair Again Hit by Hard
Showers Today
MAKING THE TRACK MUDDY
But Aviator Dyotte Made His Best Flight
of the Fair, Being in the Air Twenty
Minutes and Flying All Over
the Territory.

White River Junction, Sept. 20.-The
managers of the Vermont state fair have
another grievance against Jupiter Plu-
vius to-day, when smart shower came
up at II o'clock and brought so much
water that it threatened to put stop
to the racing, as it did yesterday, be-
sides interfering seriously with the other
parts of the program. The track was
left in such condition that it seemed
probable that Thursdays postponed
races would have TO be put over till
Saturday, as well as the races originally
scheduled for Friday.
One feature OF to-day's program which
was carried out in spite of the weather
handicap was monoplane flight by
Dyotte, who went up in his Bleriot
machine and made his longest fight OF
the fair series. staying in the air twenty
minutes and flying all over the sur
rounding country.

offered by c. c. Stillman of New York.
to-day was awarded to Ruby, a bay
