RUTLAND COUNTY FAIR.
Annual Exhibition.


RUTLAND COUNTY FAIR.
'Twenty-Eighth Annual Exhibition.
The Rutland County Agricultural So
ciety commenced its twcnty-eighth annual
fair on Wednesday, on the Society's
grounds.
The attendance during the day was
small compared with previous occasions of
like character The State fair being held
at Rutland, has measurably effected both
exhibition and the crowd which usually
attend. The show of animals and articles
is good some of the horses, cattle and
sheep being superior quality. The quality
makes up for the lack of numbers.
the cattle department thereof Messrs 4
5. and j. w. Cramton, of Rutland, and
John s. Emery, of Wallingford Alexan-
der Newton, of Clarendon, are noticeable.
The Alderncy cows of Dr. A. G.. w.
Smith, of Castleton, may be enumerated
as among the best on the ground, and are
animals which show careful attention. Dr.
Smith has also grade stock of good quail
ties. The grade stock for the exhibit
ton is far above the average in that class.
The show of sheep, if not as large as some
former years, is, perhaps, the best of a
recent period. The selections from the
flocks of J. s. Benedict of Castleton. John
II. Mead of West Rutland, and Ransom
Burditt of Pittsford, show animals and
fleeces equal to the best days of the high
sheep fever in Vermont, and those who are
again cmbarking in the raising or sale of
sheep can find no better examples of Yer
mont sheep than are at the fair grounds.
There a:e many fine horses, single and
matched, also good swine, poultry, etc, Il
note of which we must defer on account
of the crowded state of our columns until
our next issue.
