he heard all over the grounds. The vic
torious pair was made up OF a black and
q gray and the animals made the record
without appearing to strain themselves
in any way.
A chestnut team owned by Il. B.
Wells of Shelburne Falls took second
prize in this division, being able to
haul the maximum weight a few feet
although not quite the requisite dis
tance.
The free-for-all was the feature of
the draft horse classes and occupied
most of the time. Ia the 2400-pound
class there was only one entry team
owned by Harold Akley Of Vernon, to
which first prize was awarded. In the
2S00-pound class O. G. Cogev Of West
Brattleboro took first, George w. Boil
ton of Ashuelot, n. IT,, ID, and +. IL.
Akley Sd, the winning weight being
1910 pounds
The judges were f. l. Benson of
Woodstock F. A. Davis Of Hinsdale
and f. w. Johnson.
The usual crowd was on hand TO
watch the draft cattle contests in the
roped arena within the track. From
early Tuesday morning until Yesterday
noon the patient oxen tugged and
strained ut the frenzied commands of
their drivers, receiving cheers and APP
Iplause when able to move the stone
boat the required distance The long
| time rivals, James d. Avery of Buck
land, Mass, and Ansel Dickinson 5
Sons Of Ashuelot, n. H., were on hand
for their usual competition, and the
former came off victorious in each OF
the four classes. In the free-f or-alI Iii
vision his team drew 9,1S3 pounds ano
no doubt could have hauled a heavier
load had they been required to do so
! II. r. Brown of Brattleboro took sec
ond with his yoke in the $500 class.

HOLSTEINS WON IN BUTTER TEST

The exhibit Of butter and cheese
was as extensive as heretofore and Of
better quality, for the reason that the
best producers have remained, the
poorer ones have dropped out and new
ones have come in with a high stand
ard of exhibits. Orrin Bent of Boston,
who has judged this department II
years, was on hand again, assisted by
Herbert B. Chamberlain of this town,
who has been identified with this
branch of the fair nearly as long. In
the dairy building was an interesting
educational exhibit by the Extension
service of the college of agriculture of
the University of Vermont, illustrative
of the work Of the college and of the
state experiment station.

Little to Cause Excitement

Yesterdays races were featnreless
except for the fight between Johanna
Patehen and Councilman for second
place in the 2.20 pace. Lady A., the
Newport Stock farm entry, won this
event with absolutely no difficulty, as
did Nathalie the PA stake and AGO
mite the 2.25 stake In the PA class
there were only two starters and while
Susie Nj. was able to keep very close
to Nathalie there was no indication
that the race would be anything but
a straight heat affair. Aconite had no
trouble in winning the third event, be
ing able to jog under the wire in ev-
cry heat. Taking them as a whole the
races were no more exciting and less
interesting than the parade of prize
winning cattle that took place betweer
the heats. The summaries:
