STATE FAIR AT MONTPELIER.

The Exhibition of the Vermont Az
ricultural Society, as heretofore announ
ced, will be opened on the morning o
the 18th of September next, an1 remair
open three days.
Through the enlightened policy of the
Rail Road companies throughout tn,
State, and the libcrality of the citizens o
Montpelier, the Board of Management
are enabled to offer very superior induce
mcnts to Exhibitors to bring forward
all articles of Production, whether Az
ricultural, Mechanical or of the Liberal
Arts.
The expense and trouble of transpor
tation are almost wholly avoided, under
an arrangement BY which articles arc
carried to and from Montpelier without
cost to the Exhibitor and with out
change of cars.
Tho Grounds are extensively laid out
and fitted with great care to meet all
the wants of the Exhibition. 4 fine
Course, commanded by large galleries
for spectators, to exhibit the speed and
actien of Horses convenient and GOV.
cred stalls for Horses, and sheltered
stands for Cattle covered pens for
Sheep abundance of water upon the
grounds, and feed of all sorts for ami
mails spacious and well protected Halls
for all varieties of manufactured arti-
Giles and carofully-sclocted grounds for
the Flowing Match have been provided
and placed at the disposal of the Soci-
ETY., for the use of Exhibitors.
A premium list of more than $500
dollars prepared by the President, and
admirably adapted to call out and suita-
bly, reward every Industrial Energy of
the State is offered to competitors.
Great care has been bestowed in the Sc
lection of disintcrested and competent
Committees of Award.
The general superintendent of the
Grounds has been committed to Mr..

is expected that Exhibitors will take
charge of them before Entry at the En-

as last year under the management of
Mr. John Howe, Jr., of Brandon.
Gentlemen who have been appointed
on Committees of Award and who will
not be able to act, are desired to com
municate with the undersigned at their
earliest convenience.
The committees arc invited to report
themselves at the Secretary's Office i'm
mediately on their arrival.
The Flowing Match will take place on
the morning of the third day at Q o'clock.
The other arrangements of the EXPOSE
ton, in detail will be published hereaf.
ter
1t is deemed especially desirable that
full representation of the Industrial
Interests of every quarter of the State
should be made this year. The healthy
stimulus of the two last Exhibitions
has been sensibly felt in the increased
amount, and quality of Production, and
in large accessions to market values of
many kinds of property in the state !;
and this increased activity is to be kept
up, only by repeated opportunities for
exhibition and comparison.
The General Committee remote from
the Capital, and all others awake to the
true interests of the State, are particu-
larly invited to see to it, that the pro-
auctions of their respective neighbor-
hoods are fairly represented, at the
Fair.
