There was a time in the early hours
of this morning when Valley fair Of
ficials were giving thanks that the asso-
citation had taken out rain insurance.
They got something much better than in
demnity. however, in the form of mild
sunshiny weather that put in an appear
ance around o'clock and lasted until a
crowd of almost record proportions had
gathered for the second and closing day
of the big show 1t would be hard to say
how many were on the grounds this aft
ernoon. but there were folks enough TO
pack the aisles of every building, throng
all the booths along the midway and al
most if not quite fill the big grandstand.
Soon after 10 o'clock there were more
than 1.20O automobiles within the track
enclosure by actual count, and that was
lust when the crowd was gathering the
| fastest.
The dog show agin proved a big at
/ traction and hundreds of canine lovers
were gathered about the ring when the
/ Judging began soon after noon. There
was particularly strong class OF Alre-
| dales with coliies foxhounds and Boston
terriers also well represented. As was
| the case last year II. y. Bulger and NJ.
T. Bowen of Bellows Falls were on hand
with big strings.
| Awards in the poultry show were com
pIeted late yesterday afternoon and to-
DAYS crowd had a good opportunity to
: view the prize-winning birds. The class
of Rhode Island Reds was without ques-
tion the strongest that has ever been seen
here and there was no more tickled To-
cal exhibitor than J. w. IZard, who with
his partner emerged from this competi-
ton with first on cockerel and first on
pullet.
Yesterdays race program was late in
getting started but today's events were
gotten under way just after noon with
the unfinished go trot and pace first on
the card.
Treasurer f. c.. Adams gave an ap-
proximate estimate of Yesterdays at
