FAIR SOCIETIES ORGANIZE.
Valley Fair Member Of an Association
Including Eight Massachusetts Towns
Better Results Expected.

Nine agricultural societies were rep
resented in a meeting held Friday in
Cooleys hotel in Springfield, Mass, when
the New England agricultural fairs as
ISOLATION was formed with these officers:
Pres, Clarence E. Hodgkins of North
ampton; Sec, II. T. Hyde of South
BRIDGE treas, o. E. Broadway of Mon
son. 1t is expected that the uniting of
the societies will bring about uniformity
in the administration of affairs of the
various societies, so that better results
may be obtained. o. F. Benson of
Brattleboro represented the Valley fair
association and other associations repre-
sented by delegates were those in Gin
ton, Southbridge, Monson, Great Bar
rington, Amherst, Greenfield, Athol and
Palmer.
The question of how attractions might
be improved upon was given thorough
discussion. number of representatives
of amusement. concerns from New York
and other cities were present and gave
various suggestions. In a few cases
contracts were made for next season
1t was decided that uniformity in races
should be recommended to the societies
which become members. Under the sys-
tenn that has been Is vogue in past sea-
sons, no man who hoped to enter the
same horse in races at various fairs
knew how to prepare for the races. He
met conditions under which he could en-
ter a horse in one set of races at one
fair but not in another set at another
fair. To get rid Of these difficulties the
following regular classes were determin-
ed upon to be held uniform for all fairs:
2.14 class, pace exclusives; 2.17 class,
trot; 2.22 class trot; 1927 class, trot 1t
was made optional with each fair as
ISOLATION whether the 2.17 and the 2,27
classes should be made mixed races.
Other classes will be straight races.
