FAIR NOTES
Where a few years ago hundreds
of horses were hitched to rails pro
vided inside the oval, few horses
were inside the circle this year and
the number tied to the fence along
the west side of the grounds was very
small. The day of the horse as a
means of transporting people to the
fair has gone forever and it was on
ly a few years ago many a team driv
er said if the management allowed
automobiles inside the fair grounds
it would kill the fair. Some, of the
same men who now drive fine cars
said this, too. Surely times do
change.
The cavalcade of premium stock
was just half a mile long and a hand
some cavalcade it was.
Business booths all report business
as dull. While the crowds were good
and weather fine, .there were many
people after the businesses and people
are feeling, the pinch of the times
and did not spent as freely as in for
years. Fakirs' row was what the name im
plies. There was plenty of it.' The
wheels were numerous but the moD
agement assures us they were all
playing within- the law. The blan
ket, man appears to have ' done the
largest business. .- ' '
Much favorable comment was heard
about the band music, both on Wed
nesday when the Barton band played
and on Thursday when the Orleans
band furnished music. .These are
two good organizations, not fully ap
preciated by their home towns.
. pambelYs animal circus arrived
late Thursday and set up their tents
near the cattle sheds. Audiences both
afternoon and evening were not large
but he show was considered a very
good circus for a small one. The
price of admission charged was crit-
iceu as Demg too much for the
of the show. i
size
; The writer saw but one solitary
sign of liquor in any way, shape or
mantner. One man a bit unbalanced.
A mighty fine record. There were
those who tried to bring liquor in but
the amount getting through was so
small as to be negligible.
t,6?8 aJtractions may not have
been the best ever, but they were
clean. Singer Robins presented a
new form of outdoor entertainment
with his strong voice accompanied by
the band. The trained dogs and
goose amused the children and the
tignt rope acrobats were passable. r
Grange booth was raised by Frank

Planted May 19 on broken up ground
Z u van Mespoon of chemicals in

corn was picked September 3.
James F. LaBounty.
In the death of James F. Labounty,
which occurred at his late home on
Burton hill, Saturday afternoon, Sep
tember 10, the community has sus
tained a distinct loss.
Mr. Labounty was a man of ster
ling qualities and vitally interested
m whatever tended to betterment of
tne town and commonwealth. He
was a devoted husband, a kind and in
dulgent father, and a trusted friend
and neighbor. Being of a kindly so
cial disposition, he had a pleasant
smile and a kind word for old and
young alike. He had a host of
friends and no enemies. His. passing
will be keenly felt by the whole com-muty-

THE ORLEANjS
ONE OF BIGGEST AND BEST
Large Showing of Stock, Poultry,
Farm Produce and by Granges
. and Boys and Girls.
Roaring brook park at Barton,
home of Orleans County fair, was the
scene last week of. one of the finest
fairs ever held in the county. The
weather was ideal, "exhibits in every
department were large and the peo
ple came in good old-fashioned
crowds. Every cattle shed, horse
stall, sheep pen, hog sty, and poultry
coop was full, every inch of floral
hall was taken, every foot of ground
concessions sold, every stand rented
and several tents were erected.
A crowd ., of 10,000 people were
present Wednesday, filling the 3000
grand-stand seats to capacity and
crowding the inside of the track with
a thousand parked . automobiles.
Thursday's crowd was much smaller.
A full racing program, splendid aero
plane ..exhibits,, stage attractions,
demonstrations, -pulling contests,
band music, premium stock parades,
ball games, automobile - exhibit and
a fakirs' row with everything - from
A to Z kept the crowds well enter
tained. The music of the merry-go-round,
the toot of the Ferris wheel
engine, the . whirr of the aeroplane,
the shouting of the fakirs, and the
cheering of the - crowds made real
"fair" music, and not an accident was
reported.
The management is to be congrat
ulated upon the success of the -1921
Orleans : County fair, special credit
being due H. R. Barron, the new sec
retary, and President F. S. -Whitcher.
Instead of the usual list of awards
made at the fair, using many columns"
of space, we have , decided to give a
more general story of. the event and
omit the long list of prize winners
and the amounts won.
FLORAL HALL
Floral hall bulged with exhibits of
merit. - The grange exhibits were a
new feature which attracted much at
tention and should be continued. The
Granges of Newport, Albany, Glover
and Barton each had splendid booths,
appropriatel"" decorated and filled
with canned goods and farm prod
ucts. The judges awarded Glover
Grange the first prize of $20, Barton
the second prize of $15, Albany the
third prize of $10 and gave the New
port exhibitspecial mention and re
commended a $5 special prize.
The number of dairy butter and
maple ugar entries. was not so large
as should come from Orleans coun
ty. There were only 12 entries of
butter and sugar and no award was
for less than $1 on any exhibit. For
nip. a nail of maole suear re-
pT a nreminm of $3 when the
sugar itself is worth about that
much. A $1 award on a gallon oi
syrup and $5 on a box oi putter is a
worth-while reward for exhibiting
these things. The first prize for
maple sugar went to i. m. urie oi
North Craftsbury and for syrup to
A. W. Ticelmrst of West Glover. On
stirred sugar C. W. White of North
Craftsbury took first and Mr. White
also took first prize on print dairy
rvtter, while Alex Wylie of West
Glover took first prize on dox out
ter.
While fruit is not a specalty with
fhis narf. nf Vprmont a creditable, var
iety of apples were exhibited. The
largest exhibit was by Mrs. Jbzra
r.lnrk nf Clover who had 25 varieties
of apples. Myrtle Ticehurst of West

The fancy work department, locat
ed on the second floor of floTal hall,
contained a wonderful display of the
skill acquired with the needle and
crochet hook, resulting in all kinds
of fancy table coverings, bed linen,
wearing apparel and bric-a-brac so
dear to the heart of a woman. Vis
itors thronged this department
throughout the fair. There were al
so several pictures. To go into in
dividual merits in this department
would mean an endless task. This
department needs some revision in its
premium list offers and some reno
vating ought to be done on the room
to bring out the beauty and delicacy
of many articles exhibited here.
The Vermont Forestry department
had a small educational exhibit; there
was a fish exhibit in charge of Coun
ty Fish and Game Warden Atkins of
Orleans and George Chaffee of the

emergency cases cared for, many
took advantage of the booth to rest.
A school exhibit in charge of Supt.
Batchelder contained exhibits of
work from the schools in Barton and
Orleans incorporated districts, Bar

mention were the large exhibit of
taxidermy work by C. S. Phillips Co.,
of GloveT, the Barton Village Elec
tric department exhibit of electrical
equipment and the splendid exhibit
of furs made from local fur
bearing animals by the "New
Taxidermy shop at Glover. The
above exhibits were unusuallv hand
some and attracted many visitors. It
COUNTY FAIR
would seem that some plan ought to
be devised to separate such exhibits
as running machinery and musical
instruments in floral hall, for certain
ly the one detracts veTy materially
from the other when placed side by
side.
Other exhibitors in floral hall were
the Bailey Music store of Newport,
the Whipple-Converse company of

the largest, and best ever seen on the
grounds and one of the most satis
factory parts of the exhibit was the
judging done by F. E. Duffy of West
Hartford, Conn a man of wide ex
perience. He waa not afraid to rule
out entries which did not deserve pre
miums. Much general satisfaction
waa expressed over his work. Most
of the exhibits were by the local

bred and raised locally.
