The end of the Middlebury play
ground season Saturday afternoon, was
the occasion for one OF the largest
gatherings of children of the summer
a picnic lunch featured the program
with ice cream cones served as des-
sert by Miss Emma Fuller, Home
Demonstration Agent OF the Farm Blu
reau. The children seemed 10th to con-
Sider that the season had closed The
dismantling of the equipment for stor-
age until 1929 was witnessed by many
OF the youngsters with saddened hearts.
so popular has Miss Catherine Rob
bins of Cornwall, supervisor of the
playground, become with the rhildren
that many of them have asked for her
re-engagcment next season.
The ground for the new tennis court
will be broken soon instead of the work
being delayed until the spring. The
children have enjoyed daily Mrs.
Swift's previously announced gift of
tennis equipment, but on account of the
roughness of the park lawn, a grass
court is quite impossible. The present
tennis court will probably be used next
year for basketball.
The officers of the Playground Asso-
ciaton wish to particularly thank Miss
Robbins for her devotion to her task.
Mrs. F. Donahue for her assistance in
recruiting volunteer lady assistants to
the supervisor Mrs. w. H. Baldwin
and Clayton Ellis.

DYER REVIEWS
FAIR HISTORY
STATE CHARTER GRANTED AS
ISOLATION IN 1874
From a So-Called agricultural Horse
Trot" Fair Has Developed into
Permanent Institution

A feature OF the anniversary exercises
Wednesday afternoon in celebration Of
the 18th exposition of the Addison
County Agricultural Society, was the
History of Our Fair" given by Frank
c. Dyes of Salisbury. The speaker had
long been prominently connected with
the Fair, having served long term as
secretary, His review of one of the
County's greatest institutions will be
found particularly interesting the more
the reader can recall of his own expert
ences at the earlier fairs.
The Addison County Agricultural
Society, organized under an act of the
legislature in lS43 to promote the in
terests of agriculture, held its first an
nual fair at Middlebury in 1874, thus
antedating the Merino sheep and in a
large measure the Morgan horse, both
of which in later years made Addison
County famous in every state in the
union and in foreign lands. 1t is IN
terestng to note in passing, that in
1914 Addison County had a greater
number of sheep and produced more
wool than any other councy in the
United States Silas Tenni5on, for
mer governor of Vermont was its first
president and Harvey Bell, publisher Of
the Peoples Press, now known a; The
Mddlebury Register was the first sec
retary. 1t is a coincidence that the
present secretary is the publisher OF
the Register which will soon complete
the Goth year Of its existence In lS45
and 1916 the fair was held in Vergenues
and in 1917 in Shoreham, since which
they have been held in Middlebury,
where in 1860 six men of the county
formed the Fair Ground Company
and purchased the present grounds of
the Jonathan Wainwright estate The
grounds were privately owned and
rented to the society until 1902 when
Col. S. A. Ilsley purchased the prop
erty and began the Improvements that
became the talk of the state and placed
the fair among the great agricultural
of the east. Some of the
most successful business men of the
county were directing the societys af-
fairs in those days; men with vision,
and adding to Col Ilsleys faith, the
keen business sense and executive abil-
ltv of W. A Lawrence and John E. |
Weeks. and the tact and enthusiasm of
Fred l. Hamilton, it is not strange
that the ensuing six years was a period !
Of marvellous growth.
The society's history for the past 20
years is too well known to most of you
% require comment. We are speaking
more of the early days when the de
'cendents of Hills Vermont Black

PRIV. Il. H. AUSTIN, KILLED IN ACTION,
RETURNED TO HIS FAMILY FOR BURIAL
STATE APPLE CROP,
GENERALLY LIGHT,
TO NET BIG PROFITS

"The 1921 apple crop Of Vermont
is below the average but will COM
mand a higher price than ever be-
fore known" said c. L. Witherell,
president of the State Horticultur-
al Society to a Register reporter
Tuesday morning. "On a recent
motor tour through the apple belt
of the state, the Champlain Valley
section, from Manchester up
through the Island, l noticed that
although there were some orchards
with a good crop, the majority of
growers cannQt but report a poor
season. Yet the quality, color and
size of many 1921 apples are above
normal and are expected to COM
mand large and high price mar
ket. The Mcintosh variety has
suffered greatly from the frosts of
early spring The latter kinds,
however, like the Spy and Deli
cious, are producing heavy" Some
of the large orchards of Addison
County can boast of a good crop,
he said, including his own, al
though he lost several hundred
barrels from the spring freezes
