THE RUTLAND HERALD,
THURSDAY. OCTOBER l, 1868,


The morning Of yesterday opened fine
y, with the outward prospects of clear
day; but before so'olook, the wind arose,
4 aud everything was chilly. During the
day several slight showers dampened the
enthusiasm Of those at the exhibition
grounds Notwithstanding the gloomy
character of the weather, the attendance
at the Fair was respectable, and the num-
ber Of entries, in most of the depart
mcnts, cXcclled those Of previous years
The cattle and sheep departments We're
well represented, and in the Floral Hall
the exhibition is far superior 10 that Of
several years, and the articles on, exhi-
4 die, of Rutland county to be Of the high
il est order, and the exhibition in Floral
Hall is richly worth a visit, and great
praise is duo TO those who have contrib
u u,rl to this department We have had ne
time ta make an examination such as 10
warrau, rs in particularizing. The exhi-
hition of fruit was large considering the
season. One gentleman, James VI.
n kctchum, Of Sudbury, exhibited 13 diff
tr,at varieties Of applesf varieties Of
Il pears, and varieties of grapes H. W.
Fits, of the same town, exhibits large
varieties Of apples and pears, Joseph l.
Scott and J.. G. Paris, OF Dandy, exhib-
hihits tan varieties Of apples each, and
make fine show. Sudbury, however,
j Fl. u,t bo conceded to be the banner town
FIR fruit in Rutland county. The vege-
\ ,lE, department has large variety Of
,,,r,a -diuary growth, and fine quality,
.,,l the exhibition far exceeds that of
farmer vi, urs. The mechanic part of the
lut. tuu Exhibitions Of stoves. and a
& variety OF ther articles, are. made by
Damn. Sawyc r&Co., ,Coburn & Gernain, Of
Rutland Pai ne, Hendry and Christie, Of
Brandon. Some excellent carriages and
wagons were presented by Andrew
Clark, OF Poultney, and II. l.. Todd, of
Rutlaud. Horses are well represented and
are among the most attractive features of
the exhibition Cattle and sheep are also
ofcvrenent quality, some of which will be
. spoken OF in our further notice of the fair
Il is II singular fact that while the pro-
du,ton Of marble in Rutland county
uuluuts 10 ever two millions of dollars
annually. there was not one specimen
# tho manufactured article on exhibition
bat the absencc of the unwrought pro-
luut. was well compensated for in the ex'
hihition of altogether the finest specimen
# finished marble work We have ever seen
The article noted was tablet headstone
from the marble works Of W. \. Oliver, Of
thi, town. Parties visiting Floral Hal
to-day will be well repaid for u few mo
