Everybody Out For the Big Event of
the Year September A. IS, and rs.
The placards are out announcing the
Manchester Fair to be held on the fair
grounds of the Battenkill Valley In
dustrial Society at Manchester Cen
ter, September IA, Is and 16.
The fair this year, IL weather con.
ditions are favorable, will be by far
the greatest and best ever held by
the society. This assertion is based ON
the fact that the purses for the rae.
ing have attracted as entries large
number of well known horses in all
classes. The stock entries are also
large and Floral Hall will be well
filled with the choicest examples of
the house wives art, and in addition
there will be space reserved for ex-
hibits by the Manchester, Vermont,
Board of Trade.
The committee on attractions have
secured the following attractions.
which in variety and distinctive class,
should appeal to all fair goers.
Troop c, Third u. S. Cavalry (about
so men) will be on grounds all three
days, camped in true army style, and
will give daily exhibitions OF the fin
est feats of equestrianism.
John and Title Baldwin have also
been secured and will entertain the
occupants of the grand stand; also the
rail birds, with daring feats of horse
| manship, with Roman racing, and
three horse exhibitions. Miss Baldwin
has yet to be thrown by bucking
| bronco.
Mrs. Cornie Glynn Cocklin will en-
terrain the grand stand occupants
with her wonderful contralto voice-a
voice we'll known in Rutland and the
larger cities Of the state for its
superb timber. Mrs Cocklin will be
accompanied in her selections by the
Manchester Union Band, who in their
weekly concerts this summer have
shown themselves to be a very super
ior musical organization.
| While all the above attractions are
confined TO the earth the fair associa-
ton hope TO be represented in the air

premier aviator, who, in addition to
performing wonderful stunts in the
air, will also take all these who de-
