Vermont at the National Dairy
Show.

Vermont proposes to make an
exhibit of Guernsey cattle in October
at the National Dairy Show that will
be worthy of the special notice it
will attract. This was determined
upon at the meeting in Bradford
last Friday of the Vermont Guern-
sey Breeders Association and the de-
tails of the plan adopted were sent
to the officers of the show in the
board of trade yesterday afternoon.
The idea will have the support of
the American Guernsey Cattle Club
whose Offices are in Peterboro, N. H.
"In order to make the exhibit rep
resentative of the many fine herds
in the state, the state association
will select at least cne carload, per-
haps two, of the best animals on diff
ferent farms and send them to
Springfield in the name of the as
sociation. The rules for the entry
of cattle at the show permit this to
be done, though any animal entered in
competition for prizes must walk
into the show ring in the name of
its actual owner.
Gilbert C. Tenney of Brattleboro,
president of the association, and
Mark H. Moody of Waterbury, sec
retary, have already begun to pick
out the individuals that will be
brought here. They say their chief
difficulty is going to be in making
the selections from so large num-
ber as is available; every Vermont

can Interesting Circumstance"

In an editorial in the Boston Tran
script the following comment ap-
pears:
"a very interesting circumstance
in connection with the Vermont reg
iment is that its colonel, Ira L..
Reeves, was, at the moment of the
assembly of the regiment, being in
stalled as president of Norwich Uni
versity. Norwich has been a military
school from its beginning under old
Captain Partridge, and Colonel
Reeves, who is retired captain of
the regular army, with a brilliant
record as an officer, will continue
the Norwich tradition of education
m ike i with patrio tism.
Colonel Reeves will command the
Vermont troops-and possibly some
others-from now on. In the Ver-
mont's composition the military
spirit flows strong and dear side by
side with the civic ideal"

VERMONT Estate FAIR.
Will Observe the Order that Chill
dren under 10 Years Must
Not Attend. A Large At
tendance Urged.

White River Junction, Sept. A.
The order issued by the State Board
of Health, in effect that children I'M
der the ages of Is years must not
attend the fairs of the State will be
observed by the Vermont State Fair
commission in the conduct of the
State Fair to be held here Sept. IL,
l3, Ia and Is. This order was issued
with the intention of preventing the
spread of infantile paralysis.
That it will work hardship on all
fairs, especially the State fair, is
certain, and because of it the State
Fair commission appeals to the adj
ults of the State to turn out in large
numbers to make up for the enforced
absence of the children. With a
premium list aggregating $4,000
and trotting purses close to $4,000
it is necessary that the attendance
be large in order to cover these OBJ
legations. No doubt the cancellation
of the Valley Fair at Brattleboro
will assist in stimulating the State
Fair attendance to a considerable
degree, the Brattleboro fair having
been called off by the local board of
health. The fair promises to be the
best in it's history. Every effort has
been put forth to provide attractions
that will please all patrons and the
appeal now being made to the pa
triotism of the people to assist all
possible in making the fair at least
self-supporting this year will no
doubt find ready response by the
citizens.
Secretary Davis announces that he
has arranged for extra balloon ascen-
sions with complicated parachute
drops for Wednesday and Thursday.
In addition to the regular ascensions
each day, this will make a big pro-
gram in that popular act. Thursday
the 14th will be Governors Day,
when Governor Gates with his aids
will be on hand. On this day also
there will be an auction sale of fancy
Holstein cattle, and sale of sheep
from the Government Farm at Mid
dlebury. These sales are expected
to be largely attended. The exhibits
will be large and varied in every
department. There will be more
horses, cattle and swine than last
year, an the exhibit of sheep will be
of high order. Floral Hall will
have the largest exhibit ever at the
Fair, AMI the Machinery exhibit will
be crowded. State Fish Commits
sioner Titcomb is making arrange
ments fol big fish exhibit and has
many fine specimens, one of them
being a six and one-half foot stur-
geon.

try Association will offer one share

as five honors in the boys she ep
