Fair Notes.
Everything considered this year's
exhibition must be called a great
success. -
The weather was almost ideal.
The special train from North Troy
Thursday seemed to fill a need and
was much appreciated. Next year it
should be run from Richford.
Scarcely a ''kick" was heard on the
new admission price of 35 cents. ,
The White sewing machine booth of
F. B. Lamber of Lowell was one of
the most popular in floral hall and W.
C. Ellis, "silk artist",, was busy every
minute making souvenirs. The popular
souvenir consisted Nof one's name
stitched with Corticelli shaded silk on
a background of silk ribbon. Mr.
Ellis certainly is an artist with a
machine. ' :
The merry-go-round and Ferris
wheel both did the usual fine business,
pleasing hundreds of children and
very often an older person or two.
The Sharpies and Tlinman milking
machines were each exhibited and
drew the attention of the farmers to
an unusual degree. The milking
machine appears to be the coming
method of solving the help problem on
the farm and the interest displayed by
large numbers of farmers in these
practical machines shows that they
touch a responsive chord in the farmer
and fill a real need.
A man, presumably belonging to a
gang of three to five pickpockets. , was
arrested Thursday night at the depot
in the act of lifting a pocket bock.
He and assistants resisted the arrest
and four men were necessary s to take
him. He was lodged in the lockup
here and taken to Newport later to
await trial before Judge Thompson
today. Forty-eight dollars in money
was found in his clothes.
Cow testing, good cows, and
prosperous farmers appear to go hand
in hand. A stroll among the dairy
men with exhibits at the fair told the
story. Ask how much such a cow
produced and the testing record , comes
out immediately. Almost without
exception the good dairy exhibits were
in testing associations. Test, "that's
the only way to KNOW. Guessing
was all right in its day.
The crowds were not large, being
about 6000 Wednesday and Thursday
and considerably smaller on Friday.
Photographer Roystan took many
pictures of prize stock and fair views.
The cuts appearing in this issue are
made from his prints.
Geo. Pir?e of Brownington exhibit
ed some Mulefoot swine that are com
paratively new to this vicinity but de
serve special mention. No premiums
were offered for this breed.

SUCCESSFUL COUNTY FAIR
First Exhibition of Reorganized Associa
tion Proves Successful Agricultural
Fair. Good Races. Good Crowds. '
The . first annual fair of the new
county-wide fair organization was a
success. ' As stated in these columns
last week, the Orleans county fair has
"come back." To be sure this meet
ing was hurriedly arranged for and
not every detail worked out with the
care that time will give in the future,
but as an agricultural fair and stock
exhibit proved a success. In fact the
number of livestock- exhibits, brought
demanded more room than the sheds
and barns on .the grounds afforded
and a number of exhibits were neces
sarily taken to stalls and barns just
outside the grounds. This, feature of
the fair is particularly pleasing because
an Orleans County fair must necessari
ly be an agricultural fair, and as time
goes on and the fair grows, one of the
very finest exhibitions of horses,
cattle, dairy products and crops to be
produced in the state will be found at
the annual exhibitions of the Orleans
County fair. Orleans county contains
many fine dairieSy and large farms,
and ranks at the top as an agricultural
district.
Among the exhibits of cattle which
attracted attention was the fine show
ing of the standard dairy types most
common in Vermont, the Jersey and
Holsteiri. The Guernsey, Ayrshires
and Durhams were also well represent
ed. -The Monitor takes pleasure in
showing pictures of a few of the indi
viduals taking first prizes on another
page and would be glad to use others
had photographs been available.
The largest and best exhibits of
Jersey stock may be credited to C. H.
Root of North Craftsbury and G. F.
Bickford of Sheffield. Several other
farmers exhibited some fine individ
uals in this class which received much
favorable comment.
Tr,e largest exhibitors .in the
Holstein class were Carl Bean of
Glover, Geo. W. Moxley of Irasburg
and C. T. Miles of Barton. J. A.
Urie of West Glover also had a good
display in the grades and other good
stock was shown.'
A. J. Anderson and son of West
Glover had a fine display of registerec1
Ayrshires and a few grades were also
shown in the Ayrshire classl A glance
at the records of some of the stock
shows they are buttermakers.
Grant White of Glover and C. W.
Urie of North Craftsbury made up
the showing of registered Guernseys
which .certainly make handsome stock
and good butter producers. There
were also some fin grades in this
class shown by several Orleans county
farmers.
E. A. and N. G. Simpson of Sheffield
entered about 40 head of stock, most
ot which took prizes in the native
breed and registered Shorthorn-classes.
The exhibit of sheep and swine was
not large but some exceptionally fine
individuals were shown, especially
might this be said of the registered
Shropshiredown sheep exhibited by
H. P. and Ella F. Leland of Brown
ington. -
There were many entries in the
various horse classes and to the horse
man the exhibit must have been
pleasing. The Morgan horse which
is now being given so much attention
the county over was well represented
at the fair. Several of the prize
winners at the state fair and other
large exhibits were present. The
Ingalls Farm Morgans of Sheffield
were there and Billy Root, the
Whitcher horse of Barton. P. T.
Barber of Sheffield, G. T. Pierce of
Orleans and O. A. Grow of Browning
ton all had several entries of Morgans.
Many fine animals were entered in
the Standard bred class, general
purpose and draft classes. Among

THREE BODIES RECOVERED
Willoughby Gives up Bodies of Badgsr
and Tripp Brothers. Boat Found in .
Good Condition Exact Cause
Not Known.
The bodies of Dana and Montgomery
Tripp and Clayton Badger, drowned in
Wijloughby lake Tuesday of last week
by the upsettmg of a sail boat have
been recovered, the latter on Thursday
and the bodies of the Tripp brothers
on Saturday.
A recapitulation of the story as told
by one who assisted in the search for
the bodies and knows the circumstances
thoroughly is as follows. The boat
containing the three young men before
mentioned started out for a short sail
before dinner on the ill fated day.
There ras a gusty north wind up the
lake. The course seemed to be to
Blueberry point, across to Graystone
ledge and back to. camp near the Rich
ardson hotel. The party was last seen
by a fishing party near Split Rock.
The sailboat was then making for
Blueberry Point. They were evident
ly about, halfway across to the place
where the second tack was to be made
when the boat sank. Only two people
saw the tack and the run to the point
of sinking. A party was in the pas
ture above the Richardson House and
to them everything was visible. The
mast suddenly tipped almost to the
water, leaned there for a short time,
then the sail laid flat on the water and
the whole suddenly disappeared under
water. No one was seen although the
water was carefully scanned. One of
this party went to the hotel, called up
Ernest Wheeler, who went out with a
power boat and in ten minutes' time
his boat was searching for anything
that might be floating from the wre(k
in the vicinity of the accident. Noth
ing was found. Later three caps were
picked up. Some grapples were ob
tained, others were made and a search
kept up until hear midnight without
success. A number of power and' row
boats searched unsuccessfully all day
Wednesday. On Thursday afternoon
the boat and one body was found.
Friday was so stormy that nothing
could be done but. on Saturday fore
noon the two remaining bodies were
found. Badger's body was found
Thursday, Montgomery Tripp's body
was found first on Saturday and Dana
Tripp's body was found last.
All were found on or near the boat.
All were expert pwimmers and divers.
The boat was raised Thursday after
noon and towed ashore. On Friday it
was broken up for complete examina
tion and sunk.' It was' bought from
Portland some years ago and was in
excellent condition. The boat has
i-. ji i i
uatfii on uie iaise ten years and never
tipped over before. It is believed the
boat was turned into the wind by a
cross gust, then it received the whole
torce of the wind on the broadside of
the sail. This caused the boat to tip
and fill. The boat was found stern
foremost in the direction it had been
running. If this is true the men
would be under the sail and it may
account for the fact that though all
were excellent swimmers, none seemed
able to save himself. The whole
thing happened very quickly. Mont
gomery Tripp's watch stopped at
11.10.

Tuskegee Students Please Audience.
The concert by the students of Tus
kegee Institute in the Congregational
church last evening was well attended.
The five young men rendered many of
the old plantation melodies in a manner
that dejighted the audience. The
melodious blending of the voices with
out accompaniment, the fine quality of
the individual voices and the spirit in
which they were sung held the closest
of attention and won repeated appaluse.
Prof. Woods, who read several selec
tions with a fine dramatie touch won
the audience at once. Mr. Woods also
explained the aim of Tuskegee, its
work and present scope and paid a
tribute to Dr. Washington at the head
of this institute, which is training 1700
colored boys and girls for practical life
and homemakiner.
