don't believe there is better fair
ground in the state and we know there
can be no better track than we have.

We are glad that the people are salts

4 The second annual fair gave more
attention to racing, and here occurred
the remarkable race between Snow

given in the words of Editor Earle. in
the issue of the paper of Sept. %. 1869.

the long desired contest between Snow
flake and Chestnut Dan has been decid-
ed on our track in favor of the latter.
greatly to the surprise of almost every
one that we have seen, for although
Chestnut Dan gets the purse. we are
positive in our own minds that Snow
flake won the race, but we find that
there are better judges than we. who
think differently. The judges were
beyond bias and they decided as they
thought right between them. with that
the people should be content To

The third annual fair advertises a
wonderful balloon ascension. The In

most interesting and popular features
ascension, which always attracts vast
concOurse of people. who patiently
wait the filling up and relighting of
the huge airship and exult with up
turned faces as it gradually and ma
jestically mounts upwards to the
heavens. Thursday this will be the
attraction to those who come here to
see Prof. King make the ascension
from the fair grounds. He arrived in
our village Saturday evening with his
mammoth balloon. So the public are
guaranteed against "Humbug" which
many have professed to be fearful of.
Let those who are coming be on hand
early and see and learn all about bal.
looms and ballooning." Again in ar
issue just after the fair: ALTHOUGH
numerous were the EXPLANATIONS from
a portion of the people all around the
county that the balloon ascension al
Barton on Sept. Is would be all "Hum
bug" that balloon had never beer
up in Orleans county and therefore
never would go up. and even on the
day of the ascension and after it's inf1a
ton some said it was only big bag oil
gas. but Samuel King did on the 18th
take his beautiful balloon, "Aurora,'
! by the hands and leaping into it, made
a wonderful flight, leaving us pool
mortals to gaze wonderingly aftel
him."
And this was our fair and it's attrac
tons of only the past generation. whel
automobiles, telephones. electric lights
and aeroplanes had not even reached
the dream stage.
