.STATEFAIR
IS CALLED OFF
State Fair Commission Has
Come to That De-
cision
TRANSPORTATION
THE CHIEF REASON
Railroads Unable to Prom
Use Improvement by
September

There will be no Vermont state fair
at White River Junction this year. This
decision was reached when President j.
B. Estee Of the state fair commission
had conference with the members of
the organization. A carefully prepared
statement OF facts were presented the
commissioners. Reasons were given why
the fair should not be held, and also
reasons why the fair should be held. The
former, from the action taken, must have
overhalaneed the latter,
The chief objection to the holding OF
the fair was the condition affecting the
railroads. The transportation companies
were unable to promise anything in the
way of excursion trains, reduced rates
or in the transportation of stock under
that have governed in past
wears. The likelihood of conditions that
now affect the railroads changing to any
great extent before September was not
as explained by railroad of
ficials, although the disposition of these
officials was 10 do everything possible for
the fair in case il was held.

il would be impossible to make as good

 FULTON IN THIRD

Norwich, May 14-Chic Brown, claimant to the lightweight cham pionship of New England, scored 8 clean knockout over Young Fulton of scheduled fifteen round bout here last night. Fulton substituted for Frankie Burns of California, who was unable to gain a leave of absence from a southern training camp. Fulton, who is an army man, made things interesting for his sailor rival while the bout lasted, finally cracking under the strain of a terrific body pummell- ing. Brown scored five knockdowns during the abbreviated bout, three times in the second and twice in the third. The New Havener set a furi- ous pace from the. start and always had good command of the situa- ton.
 In the semi-fnal bout, Wild Bill Reynolds of New Haven, broke the wrist of his right hand in the eighth round of his scheduled ten round tilt with Tony Martin, Reynolds fought splendidly while the bout lasted and had a big lead on points when his ac- cident forced him to discontinue ac- tivities. Red Rankin of Norwich, stopped Young Maresca in the second round of the preliminary bout.
 One of the smallest crowds that ever witnessed a series of bouts here was on hand. The bouts were de- layed owing to the raefusal of the boxers to appear until being assured of their purses. Dave Fitzgerald, of New Haven, refereed.
