cent of comparison with other fairs Of
The state and in this comparison we
hold our own, that is, we were III
class by ourselves as clean, progress
sive, up-to-date, well balanced fair.
MANY repairs and alterations were
absolutely necessary to preserve the
property and meet existing conditions.
rhe late lamented Colonel S. A, ll.s-
ley who so literally spent his money
for additions and repairs was greatly
missed With all these conditions to
meet the treaSurers report will show
that our balance was on the right side
and our fair was a success financially
as well as in every other way.
"The board Of managers held their
usual number Of meetings during the
past year and they were all very well
attended. At the first meeting OF the
board it was apparent that the increase
Of exhibits Of 1920 was an incentive for
larger and better exhibition of cattle
in 1921, and accordingly the premium
list was revised and the premiums in
creased in many cases. 1t was also de-
cided not to ask individual herdsmen
to compete with the state institutions
in exhibiting cattle for premiums. The
result Of these plans was very crafty
ing and the barns and sheds on the
fair grounds were filled to their capa-
city, and temporary sheds were built
during the fair to shelter some OF the
thoroughbreds.
"The state agricultural commissioner
made the statement at our fair that he
had never seen a better exhibition OF
cattle at any fair in Vermont; and
many patrons Of the fair from other
countias remarked that they were
pleased to see that Addison county
continued to hold an agricultural fair
with good horse races and had not
turned their fair into circus.
On every other department OF the
fair there was creditable showing
Exhibition, horticultural and mechanics
halls were filled to capacity with eX-
hibits of good quality, especially the
Grange exhibits which were worthy
Of much commentator Horticultural
and mechanics halls could be enlarged
and the space sold to,eXhibitors at a
profit, if the society deemS it advisable
to do so.

competition in the contests were keen

The Addison county fair has been
the banner exhibition Of the state for
wears and the fair of 1921 eXcelled all
previous exhibitions and established a
record that will stand for several years
to come.
Future fairs OF the society may equal
the last exhibition, the managers say,
but they feel that it will be difficult
to put on a better balanced exhibition
of agricultural stock and produce than
was seen at Ilsley park last September.
"The managers OF the fair may be
called upon in the future" according
to the report of Robert w MCCuen,
retiring secretary of the society, ito
