Just returned from market where we used our best judgment In buying, and now we invite you to call and look before buying elsewhere. MRS . G. H. SMITH 85 MAIN ST. Human ncencV has done all It can to make tin? 25th annual Valley fair an un qualified success, and It Is now up to the weather man. with suitable weatner next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday tho fair visitors, old and new, wilt see an exhibition which will eclipse In many re spects all of Its predecessors. The aero plane and the automobile, two or tne most modern types of mechanism for trans portation, will play an Important part In making the ,word success summarize the fnlr and there will be several other fea tures never beforo Included In tho list of attractions. Any person who misses the Valley fair this year will have missed a notable event. Not only are the special attractions of a character calculated to command wide attention, but In all the regular departments, which after all con stitute the backbone of every agricultural fair, there will bo found exhibits which, both in number and quality, will satisfy tho most critical and exacting. In these days of man's conquest of the air there Is widespread curiosity to see n flying machine and to see It work. To meet this desire the management has pro vided for n flight within view of the grandstand every d.iy of tho fair. The of ficials closed a contract Saturday with George Schmltt of Rutland to bo on hand each day with his Curtlss biplane, a model of that used by the noted aviator, Glenn Curtlss, In his famous Albany-New York flight. Mr. Schmltt, who made a flight on the last day or tne liutianu lair ana who has made several flights In that city, will start from the south end of tho track enclosure, fly the length of the grounds, circle about and return over the track. Barring unforseen accidents, this should prove the greatest special event ever seen on the grounds. A hose race and coupling contest on Tuseday, the first day, will be nn entirely new feature of the fair. Such contests have been arranged In other places and they never have failed to create much excitement and arouse Intense Interest. The raco at the Valley fair will be for three prizes of $123, 75 and $30. and sev eral teams have been entered. Daniel F. ltlley of this town, who Is prominent In local athletic circles and has run with the Hinsdale, N. H., team seven years, has the detail of the contest In charge. He will lead the Hinsdale team, of which Richard Howe, formerly of this town, Is captain. John J. Clune has organized a team to represent Urattleboro, and his men have been putting In some hard pre paratory work. The Hinsdale team won first money at the firemen's muster In North Adams on Labor day. The Alerts of Adams, who won second at North Ad ams, have sent In their entry, and other entries are the Haydenvllle. Mass., team, the Shamrocks of Turners Falls and tne team In riaremont. Only one trial will be allowed. Each cart will carry 230 feet of hose. The teams will run 133 yards to n hydrant, attach to hydrant, lay 200 feet of hose, break coupling and put on pipe. Wednesday's special attraction will be parade of decorated automobiles which is under the direction of Arthur II. Clapp. president of the Urattleboro Trust com pany. More than 100 automobiles have been entered, many from out of town, and they will be decorated with pennants and In other ways as the owners desire. It is expected that the procession will be a mile and a half long and will be one of the finest ever seen In New England. The cars will form on North street, extend Ing back through Tyler and Terrace Btreets. The procession will be headed by the Valley fair president. Dr. F. H. O'Connor, followed by the First Regiment band. The band will occupy a three-ton Garford motor truck furnished by E. V, Oatley & Co., of Springfield, Mass. The parade will start at 9.30 o'clock and will pass through Main and Canal streets to the grounds. The cars will go twice around the track and then Into the track enclosure, where a place will be reserved for automobiles north of the Judges' stand During the procession tho drivers of the machines will endeavor to keep a distance of 90 feet between them. No better drawing card could be given a placo on Thursday's program than the $1000 free-for-all race, trot or pace. Gal- lagher, the stallion which won tho free for-all last year In the hottest racing ever seen on the Valley fnlr track, equalling the track record of 2.10U made by Asa Wilkes In the same race, is entered this year. Gallagher Is now owned by J. D. Reay of Boston. Vesta Roy. tho speedy Springfield, Mass., horse owned by the Gold Hlngen stables; Thoughtful, owned by John Adams of Rennlngton, N. H., and Albert R., owned by the Newport stock farm, also are entered for this race, and they will furnish fast company for Gallngher. The 2.1fi stake pace Tuesday Is expected to be a hot contest and the three-county race Wednesday promises to furnish ex citement as well as amusement. The purses for the races aggregate $3630. So much interest has been manifested In the drawing contests that the manage ment decided this year not to limit the contests to draft oxen, but to arrange a contest for draft horses, and this will be new feature on the last day. Enough entries already have been received to In sure plenty of excitement. Another at traction on the second day will be a driving class for women. There will be no midway this year, but In Its place patrons will find several legitimate amusements. Including a Fer ris wheel, n merry-go-round and Prof. Hobbs of Holyoke and his trained dogs. Prof. Hobbs will bring a band and will exhibit In a tent having a seating capac ity of several hundred, On account of a call for a midway the management ex perimented with It two years, and al though there Is a division of sentiment as to Its desirability the officials have decided that for a strictly agricultural fair which women and children may at tend without annoyance the midway is not desirable. A new scheme In decorating the streets will be carried out this year. Instead of hiring professional decorators the clm mlttee have appealed , to Individuals throughout the town to display flags, and In addition strearners will be floated over main street anu in tne evening there will be an electrical display, rows of electric lights being strung overhead across the street. The Twin State Gas and Electric company will furnish elec tricity for the plsplay free of charge. The exhibit of Morgan horses is ex pected to be the largest and best over shown at the Valley fair, among them being a string of seven or eight from Col. Joseph Battell's stables In Middle bury. C. V. Paddock, Jr., of West Clare mont, N, II., owner of Flying Star, said to be the most typical representative of tho old style Vermont Morgan, will ex hlblt 11 head, and a string has been en tered by E. A. Darling of East Burke. C. C. Barlow of Wilmington will show his famous Kenny's Morgan, and there will be other small Morgan exhibits. A good show of standard trotting bred equlnes Is assured, including the Connec ticut River stock farm's string of Hat field, Mass., and several handsome speci mens from Dr, Gaines's stock farm in Newport. George F. Wood of Jamaica and the Mount Hermon farm will be prominent exhibitors of Holsteln cattle, A. A. and E. A. Edson of Chester and L. L. Doo llttlo of Bernardston will show Jersey herds of quality and Carpenter and Ross of Mansfield, O., will show a fancy Dur ham herd of 15 animals. Some "classy" flocks of sheep will be on the grounds, embracing the champion sweepstake flock of horned Dorsets from the Fillmore farm In Bennington) The poultry show. In charge of D, E. Tosker, has some of the finest birds In New England In the list, Dana II. Stafford has succeeded the vet eran agricultural superintendent, A, W. Roel, the latter having taken on other duties which require his whole time. This department will continue, however, to be a wonder by Itself, and the display In floral hall under tho direction of II. W. Sargent promises to be of special Interest this year. Arthud DeWItt went to Boston Mon day to enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Clinton L. Davenport, formerly of the Btreeter barber Shop, has entered tho employ of William Currier, successor to Robert Baker. Frank D.
