SEASONAL PREFERENCE 



The exceptional high favor being dis- 

 played for Oxfords is a realization of our 

 earlier expectations, enabling us to show 

 a most complete assortment of styles, 

 ranging from walking types with military 

 heels and straight or wing tips, to the 

 light dressy styles with high arches and 

 Louis XV heels, in different shades of 

 brown, also in black and white leathers.

was held on Main street, King street and 

 on the side of the court house was also 

 occupied back of the Old church, extend- 

 ing along what is now Center street. In 

 speaking of the fair in 1829, a writer 

 spoke of pens of fine swine, pigs and 

 sheep that were to be seen in the rear of 

 the Old church. A feature of the fair 

 was that on the first day after dinner a 

 meeting was held in the church, when 

 an address was given by some noted 

 man. The address at the first fair was 

 made by Noah Webster, the author of 

 the Webster Dictionary, and one of the 

 prominent members of the society. 

 The first fair was held on Oct. 14 and 

 1.5. The Gazette in its account of the 

 fair says: 



"The cattle show, plowing match and 

 fair of the Hampshiie, Franklin and 

 Hampden Agricultural .society was at- 

 tended in this place last week by a 

 numerous collection of citizens from all 

 parts of three counties. Considering 

 the uncomfortable state of the weather, 

 on Wednesday, the collections were un- 

 expectedly large and flattering to the 

 society. The experiment was a new one 

 here and has resulted in a manner high- 

 ly encouraging to the friends of the in- 

 .stitution. Mr. Webster's oration fully 

 answered the highest expectations of his 

 friends. It was replete with sound 

 sense, valuable agricultural information 

 and most interesting moral and religious 

 precepts. After the service at the 

 meeting-house were closed the members 

 of the society, together with the reverend 

 clergy belonging to the Bible society and 

 other respectable citizens were hand- 

 somely entertained at the home of Levi 

 Lyman, Esq. In the afternoon the 

 cattle and other domestic animals were 

 exhibited and inspected. On Thursday 

 morning the plowing match took place 

 in the meadows and excited uncommon 

 interest. The morning was fine and the 

 field was crowded by a large body of 

 spectators, anxious to witness the exhi- 

 bition, perfectly new in its nature to 

 this part of the country. At noon a few 

 choice specimens of household manufac- 

 tures were examined, and immediately 

 after the society assembled in the court 

 house, which was filled to overflowing. 

 The several committees made their re- 

 ports and the premiums were publicly 

 awarded by the president." 



In view of this agricultural society 

 celebrating its 100th birthday, the fol- 

 lowing from a Greenfield paper in 18.3.3, 

 when the society held its fair in Green- 

 field, makes strange reading for today: 

 "We believe more than three-fourths of 

 the farmers in Hampshire are willing 

 the cattleshow be held at Greenfield 

 every year. The show is decidedly un- 

 popular among the hard working, re- 

 spectable yeomanry of Hamp.shire."
