"To the Lane Manufacturing Company, Montpelier,

The committee would speak highly Of this invention"
Though the display in the mechanical de-
partment Of the fair was large and interesting,
the Lane Manufacturing Company received the
only gold medal awarded for an exhibit Of ma
chinery or implements. The manufacturers Of
Lanes mills have never hesitated to put them
in competition with any others, and have al
ways received the highest awards wherever
they have exhibited. The large and growing
demand for Lane mills is even better proof Of
their excellence and superior qualities than any
premium awards

money (sl5) to" Nellie Pierce, and the fourth
money $50 to "Silser Maid" One siugu-
lar feature Of the trot was that all the horses,

We desire to say, 10 regard to the horse
racing, that while every one took greater or
less interest in it, nothing else about the fair
assubordinated Dit. 1t occupied as it should
at all fairs, just its proper place-no more, no
less. Nor did we see or know Of any betting,
or gambling, upon the result Of any race.
In speaking of the fair in general, we have
no words but of credit to those whose enter
prise got it up, and Of congratulation to them
for its success II is estimated that there were
two thousand people present on the first day,
and at least thirty-iiye hundred on Thursday,
and the result must have been to place the So
oiety upon firm financial basis--a position
which they are clearly entitled to.
The exercises of the entire fair were enliy.
ened by music, interpreted by the Mortified
COrnet Band, who played, we thought, in
rather i" finer feather " than usual, though they
always play we'll
The entire absence Of any drunkenness was
another creditable item. Nor was there any
serious accident, the nearest approach to it be-
ing during the address by Mr.. Gregory, when
the horse Of Nelson Sleeper, al Brown Nell, +"
became frightened and ran through the crowd,
fortunately, however, injuring only one lady,
and she but slightly.
The grounds were oniyoned on the second
day by match game Of base ball between the
Tri Mons club, Of Mortified, and the Roxbury
club, which resulted in the success Of the
former, by score Of forty.one to eleven.
On the whole, the fair was n decided success
in every important particular. As is usual in
such cases, the important work has fallen upon
the shoulders Of comparatively few persons, and
among those especially entitled to credit, judy
ing from what we saw of the fair, are the
President, Hon. John Gregory, the Secretary,
James Morse, Messrs. j. H. circuit, j. Ii.
Ransom, J. F. Davis, Frank Gold, S. II. Kent

We regret that the officers of the Fair found
