Rutland Comfy Fair and Cattle
Show.

The quarter century anniversary of the
Rutland County Agricultural Society
will take place at Rutland on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, September ~.
8 and 30, 1870.
1t was the intention of the Society tie
lave had a celebration of the quarter CEN
onnial, but the programme may not be
as fully carried out as was expected, on
account of the Rutland Centennial of the
week following, but that is not positively
determined. At least it will be an exhi-
Ibition worthysof the society and the coun-
Ity in all respects and bids fair at the pre-
sent time to exceed any former exhibi.
ton.
On Tuesday the day will be mainly de-
voted to registering and arranging arti-
cles for exhibition.
On Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock
the books of entry will be finally closed,
nd the judges will enter upon their du-
les.
On Thursday will be the races, and the
.ddress by citizen of our own county
Who is practical farmer, and other inter
sting exercises.
The entry books are now open at the
Dffice of the Secretary at the HERALD edi-
torial rooms, where entries can be made,
either in person or by letter.
There will be races on Wednesday and
Thursday of some of the best Lorses in the
county, state, and in fact New England.
In making the above announcement,
we feel that it is duty but partially per
formed, without making an earnest APP
peal to the members of the Society and all
others who take an interest in the success
of the Society and the paramount Interests.

ward with their articles and thus contri-
butte to swell the exhibition and render
the several departments still more attract
i've and inviting than they have been here
tofore
1t is the Farmers Holiday Festival,
when the SONS of toll are wont to assemble
and hold communion with all who sympa-
thize in their efforts to promote agricul-
ture, by which other occupations ere fed
and clothed. Without exhibitions the
interest of fairs cannot be maintained.
This appeals to all engaged in industrial
pursuits in our county-to the Farmers,
Mechanics and Artizans generally. There
is scarcely man or a family in the
county who might not bring forward
something new and interesting to the
multitude who assemble at these annual
gatherings. The premium list of the So
,iety is more liberal than usual and en-
braces everything of an Agricultural, Nc
,hanical or Household nature, and if com
petition has not been specifically invited
IN everything within the range of Agri-
cultural industry and kindred pursuits,
Exhibitors are none the less stimulated to
compete in whatever their skill and in.
dustry are able to present, and for which
prizes are freely awarded, as if stated in
the formal list.
The Board of Directors will spare no
efforts on their partt make the approach
ing exhibition attractive and inviting.
Their efforts will be unavailing without
efforts on the part of their
drought the county, to in
crease the number of exhibitors and fill
each department with all the varied pro-
ducts of industry, and thus show to the
world that the County of Rutland is not
behind any of her sister counties in any
thing which indicates healthy and pros
porous state of agriculture. Let US have
IN this anniversary gathering coutribu-
tons to the Fair from every town in the
County.
