Fair of the Rutland County AgrI-
cultural Society.
THIRD DAY.

all parts of the country, Wednesday
night, and in deducing therefrom the
probable weather that ''wOuld prevail
over New England, Thursday proba-
| bly, had little thought of the effect of
their predictions on an Agricultural Fair
in Rutland County. The weather itself,
if we could animate it, would, probably,
have taken as little thought, and per-
haps cared less, for its effect. Be this
as it may, the tWcnty-scventh annual
fair Of the Rutland County Agricultural
Society has been held under particularly
depressing circumstances, as regards the
weather. Thursday, the third day,
opened, if possible, wetter, colder,
drearier and rainier than ever, and it was
the more noticeable on account of the
fine weather Of Wednesday. Notwith-
standiue the rain, however, the pro-
gramme of the day was carried out, and
the number in attendance was much
larger than was anticipated. There was
nothing, however, that occurred through
the day, calling for general remark, cx
ccpt the good order and quictule of the
people in attendance.

The "Double Team Race" was post
poned until afternoon, on account Of the
rain. Messrs. DR.. Goldsmith, T.. Near
