PONY EXPRESS
AND THURMON
WIN RACES
Sir Dawn, Kentucky Rae
er, Drops Dead on Track
In Final Heat

Over track in nearly perfect
condition, the race program of the
last day of Caledonia county fair
was successfully completed Thurs
day afternoon.
The PA class was won in one
tWo-three order by Pony Express
the best quarter in 3412, and the
best mile in 2.14A. McShane had
his own way in the race and Pony
Express made no stops at way sta
tions and might have been the
Chicago Limited Judging from his
smoothness of action.
There were six starters in the
2.25 class. Thermon, Amato's stout
Portland gelding won in three
heats, Just as straight. The only
real contest in this race was with
the distance flag, and to see who
was who on the rear line.
The only serious accident at the
fair occurred Thursday afternoon
during the last heat of the run
ming race. Sir Dawn, wearing the
green, the winner of the day before
and the winner of the first heat in
this race, was on the track for the
final heat, when he began to show
distress. The jockey was urged to
retire him from the race, but be-
fore he could do so the horse drop
ped dead. The animal belonged TO
Ladd Brothers of Tilton, N. H.,
was formerly owned in st. John
bury, and was valued highly.
A handsome exhibition of horse
manship was made between the
heats Thursday afternoon by
James (Doc) Brown of Lyndonville
riding one of the trappy Morgans
from Mountain View farm. He
rode like veteran and the horse
stepped like a champion.
Rev. E. W. Sturttvant of Lyn-
don, on the handsome Kentucky
thoroughbred, "KiSmet," led the
Grange parade Thursday after
noon, and also exhibited before the
grandstand between the races. As
he cantered uD the stretch, St.
Gabriel's band very appropriately
struck up Onward, Christian Sold
iers," and the crowd cheevred.
DR.. Burke assisted Manager Da-
Wis in the harness demonstration
of the handsome Morgans from
Mountain View Farm. He fitted
the picture like a frame. Harry
Stewart of Beebe one of the Judges
remarked "The doctor is lust as
happy as if he was headed straight
for heaven" 1t looked so.
Prohibition Inspector Bailey Of
Laconia was an interested incogni-
to visitor on the gorunds, but he
didn't get a smell.

BALL SEASON
APPROACHING
/ LOCAL FINALE
Bethlehem Will Play Here
Saturday; Saranac
n to Return

7 The Hoelnleites are coming
down the home stretch. 1t is ex-
pected that next week will practi-
cally wind up the 1922 baseball
season. Tomorlw, Saturday, the
Fairbanks A. A. will again appear
in their own bailiWick with the
Bethlehem, N. H, cluO as oppon-
ents. The game will get under way
at 3.15 and will be the first after
noon contest to occur on the Cam
pus this week.
Monday Labor Day, the worthy
adversaries of the locals here will
be the Sherbrooke wrecking crew.
The Canadians now have a stranglc
hold on the series with st. Johns
bury having captured three games
out of four played. Manager
Hoernle indicates that his warriors
ale going to make amends Monday
and he is saving his fiinging ace,
!. Clarence Witty, to set back the
slugging visitors. If Witty is twirl-
aNg in his best tip-top fashion he
'Scan hold the Canadians in restraint
Dut ne Will nave 10 put something
on every ball that he twifls.
Wednesday Saranac Lake will
again invade the Green Mountain
state, playing the Fairbanks A. A
here on Wednesday afternoon at
3.15 and again the next morning
Thursday, as feature of the Bar
Z ton Fair at 1000. Almost univer-
ally the Saranac ball club is con-
ceded the fastest, snappiest, brain
lest team that has burned a bright
trail through Vermont and the fans
ought to be out in force to see the
games both here and at Barton.
In all probability "Doc" Newton
will twirl one of the contests for
Fairbanks against the New York
, ers. If "Doc" is still pitching in his
gilt-edge form he will make 1t in
teresting for the Saranac Lake bat
ters.

Dudley of Orleans
Not Auto Offender

In a list of motor offenders
given out at the office of Secretary
OF State Black there was contained
the name of Z. Pearl Dudley of

grave mistake and injustice to Mr..

with that of Elwin f. Dudley Of

from another newspaper was an

NON POOL SALES

BY POOL GROWERS

tCOnClnueO from rage L.
ers in the pool for the fine spirit they
had manifested and he thanked them
for it, and especially for the patience
they had shown in giving the officers
time to prepare for the opening of
the warehouses and the receiving of
the 1921 crop. He said the associa-
tion officials were working night and
day on preparation for this work and
he hope to announce that the ware
houses were ready to receive tobacco
within the next few days.
Zone of the most gratifying fea-
lures of this work for better condi-
tions in the hurley tobacco district"
Mr.. Stone said, ''is the splendid spir-
it of cooperation and patience man
ifested by the members Of the associa-
tion. We have been made to feel that
and has become a member of the asso-
citation realizes the tremendous bene-
fits that unquestionably will be de-
rived from it and what a helpful in
ditions throughout the hurley district.
''They Eealize that the association
is organized on sound business prin-
ciples, based on common sense and
good business, and for these reasons,
in my opinion, they are patiently CIV
ing their directors and officers sufi-
cient time to perfect the organization,
so that their business can be handled
intelligently and efficiently.
'fIhe growers who are members of
the association are especially to be
commended for the fine spirit they
have manifested toward those who
die nc: see fit to join the pool and to
allow the growers who did Tot join
the right to market their crops un-
hinde-ed. This good sense an! iudg-
ment on the part of the members re-
fleet credit on themselves, on their
association and on the good reputa-
tion of our state. In my opinion the
result will be that in twelve months
from now we shall have an associa-
tion 80 per cent strong in the hurley
district
s'This association has no desire to
prevent the grower who is not a men,
ber from having place to sell his
tobacco. We intend to show and
convince the outside grower, by the
way we run the business of the asso-
citation, that it will be to his benefit
to become a member and assist in
: intelligently marketing this great
cash product raised in our state
81 want to thank again the mem
bers of the association for their pa
tience and loyalty and to assure them
that their officers have been working
night and day in order to begin re-
ceiving the tobacco of members at
the earliest possible moment, and /
am glad to say now that we shall be
ready to begin receiving the 1921
crop within the next few days.
81 should like to say to the mem
bers of the association that it will
be better for everybody, if every
grower will deliver his tobacco in
crop lots, as this will greatly facili-
tate the handling of the tobacco and
lessen the work incident to the re-
. ceivfng of 5000 different lots of to.
