Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1912-08-30

The exhibits in all the departments
were above the average and in some of
the departments it was almost i'm
possible to accommodate all who wished
to secure space. When the entry
books were closed every barn and stall
was taken, in the horse, cattle and
sheep departments as well as in the
poultry and swine department. The
fish and game department is also well
filled. 1t is said by those who are ex-
cellent judges of trotting horses that
they have never seen such a nice lot
and so large a string of trotting horses
as there were here to compete in the
races. Floral hall is also filled to
its capacity with some of the finest dis
plays of hand painted articles of all de-
scriptions and all kinds of fancy work.
Mechanics hall is a wonder with its
various kinds of machinery. The dog
building contains a large number of
various classes of animals and filled to
to its capacity. Horticultural hall is
we'll filled with all kinds of vegetables,
fruits and grains.
The Middlebury band assembled at
10 O'Clock on Wednesday morning and
headed by Col. Thad M. Chapman
marched to the grounds where they
gave several selections in the morning
and during the afternoon furnished
music between the races and during the
vaudeville performances.
Although it was necessary during the
past two years to enlarge mechanics
hall to meet the increased demands for
space, it is we'll filled with all kinds of
farm machinery, gas engines, evapor-
ators and other implements for modern
farming.
Among the displays, one which is at
tracing much attention was that of a
Boston concern, which had in operation
a complete electric lighting plant, cal
culated to meet the demands and taste
of the modern up-to-date Vermont
agriculturist.
An especial effort has been made this
year to have record breaking showing
of live stock. While last year brought
a banner exhibit in the cattle and horse
department, this proved equally as
good. The principal exhibitors of cattle
were d. F. Macauley & Sons of Shore
ham, Mrs. Vail of Weybridge, Thomas
and Mack of Cornwall and Johnson of
Holsteins; F. F. Dow of
Mount Holly, Richard w. Warner and
Mr.. Carpenter of Addison, Jerseys;
w. w. Bristol of Vergennes and Brat
tleboro parties, Ayrshires. Among the
showing of Durhams was that
of Leslie Moore of Shoreham.
The showing of horses is fully as
large as usual and includes a fine stable
of registered Morgan matched pairs
and drivers from II. R. C. Watson's S .
Brandon stock farm, in charge of w. J. /

Utton, one of the best known horsemer
in the State. Joseph Battell also had a
fine showing of registered Morgan
stock from his Morgan stock farm.
Many other smaller exhibitors help to
make up one of the best horse shows
ever seen on the grounds.
There was also a good showing of
sheep and swine, among the prominent
exhibitors in these departments being
j. c. S. Hamilton of Bridport, C. H..
Marshall of Vergennes and Jackson
Brothers of Panton.
Thursday, August 20, was Roosevelt
day at the fair. 1t is estimated that
there were over $4,000 people on the
ground during the afternoon. The
grandstand was filled to overfowing
and the midway and field were a mass
of people. Col. Roosevelt, who was
scheduled to make speech from the
judges stand at 4. 80 o clock, did not ar
rive until 6. 49, on account of frequent
delays in making speeches at places not
on the schedule.
The party, did not leave Rutland until
after 5 o clock and arrived at Middlebury
at 6.15. Here the Colonel gave a As
minute address to the large assemblage,
leaving at 7.05 for Burlington. In the
Coloners car were A. j. Cooper of Ben
nington, who donated the use of the car:
Secretary McGrath, c. H. Thompson,
who has charge of the compaign in Ver-
mont, the Rev. Fraser Metzger and
Ernest Kelley of Middebury. The
other cars brought along eight repre-
sentatives of the press and others.
The regular and special trains over
the Rutland railroad came loaded to the
last inch of standing room, especially
the special from the north. People
came early and it is estimated that
from three to four thousand came by
special trains.
The receipts for tickets up to noon
were more than for any Thursday in
the history of the Fair. The total re-
ceipts for the first two days, up to six
O'Clock Thursday afternoon were ahead
of any previous two first days. Good
Judges of the crowd on the grounds
placed it at 20, 600 to %, 900.
The grand stand was filled to its ca
pacity during the races and it was
necessary to stop selling tickets before
the races began.
In the hippodrome events feature
was a running race between horse
with rider and riderless horse. The
latter won in "a 1-5 seconds There
was half-mile chariot race between
man and a woman driving four horses
each. The woman won, driving a half
mile in one minute and half second.
Two flying machine flights were made
late in the afternoon after the wind had
gone down. Both were highly sue
cessfu.
