MANCHESTER FAIR
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Most Successful Event from All Points
Of View Held BY The
Association.

officials and directors Of the Batten-
KIN Valley Fair association, because OF
the success attending their efforts
this year. are looking into the future
with the conviction that the annual
ent may eventually acquire a promin
ence beyond the rosest dreams OF
decade ago.
The fair effectually demonstrated
that one OF the principal obstacles to
success. lack OF transportation iaclll'
ties has been eliminated by the auto
mobile and the automobile truck The
change in conditions has proved that
there Is no vital reason why the Man
chester fair should not advance IN the
direction OF the class now including
Rutland, Middlebury and Brattleboro.
Encouraged by the attendance ana
interest the directors are planning eN-
tensions and improvements ana are
taking up problems with confidence
and assurance that they will be war
ranted by larger attendance and lars-
er exhibits.
The Manchester Journal this week
publishes the following resume
while the directors of Manchester
Fair had shown a very progressive at
t!tude in their improvements ana gem
era preparations for this years iair'
it is safe to assume that their tondeeSt
hopes we're exceeded long before the
end of the second day. Early in the
morning the automobiles began to ar
rive and before the ticket agents lett
their stands more than eight hundred
autos or TO be exact $50 autos enter
/ ed aside from those of officials and
others holding season or helpers TIC
kets. Together with those who came
in teams and those who walked IN
from the villages, the total attendance
by ticket was 5,43S, which is not iar
from double the attendance OF any
previous year Allowing for children
under ten years OF age who enered
free the total number of people on the
GROUNDS surely exceeded 5000.
yThe attendance fell off considerably
the last day due quite largely to the
threatening weather at midday ana
the heavy rain just the hour when
most people enter the grounds to see
the races, but the actual attendance
for the day was fully up to that OIL
pleasant days in former years.
THE wonderful Improvement IN
grounds and arrangements was at
once apparent The new auto entrance
from the Dorset road proved both safe
and comfortable and not even minor
collision has been reported The new
fencing of the track with it's fresh
white paint and the general clean ap.
pearance of the grounds and improve

that the track was not only in excel
