Pulling Classes
for Draft Horses at
Central Maine Fair

Now we are getting back to first
principles" said DR.. Baird, super
intendent of the livestock depart
ments at the Central Maine Fair, re-
ferring to pulling classes for draft
horses. When l was a boy at home
in Vermont, this was one of the
principal drawing cards at our YER
mont fairs and the crowds of peo-
pie around the pulling rings and the
noise they made. was an answer to
the statement that this class of en-
tertainment has gone by long ago."
When the doctor was made super
intendent of the livestock depart
ments of the Central Maine Fair, he
made up his mind at once that he
would restore the draft pulling
classes for horses, and the directors
of the fair voted 500 for this pur-
pose, and the classes are 5000 in
purses for horses under 2600 pounds
and $1,000 for horses over 2600
pounds. Many inquiries are being
received at the office of the secre-
tary for information as to the day
on which these classes will be called.
