Rutland County Fair
The Rutland county fair closed yester-
day. 1t was not a success. The weather
continued unfavorable and people hesitated
about exhibiting choice stock. People also
hesitated considerable about standing
around in overcoats and gloves in raw,
disagroeable wind to see even fine show,
and for county farewell, they shrugged
their shoulders, hoped there would be n
good crowd, and stayed comfortably at
home. The receipts were nominal.
The man with champagne, five cents u
glass" wisely foresaw that there would he
no police on the grounds, and cried his
beverage as boldly as II lion. The man
who put three dollars and half worth of
patent jewclry into u package and begged
you to take it for twenty-five cents, was on
hand. The man with the lottery wheel
and David with his lung tester, appeared,
and the four united in knot to attract
custom. But the crowd was slim and their
combined gains probably wouldn't make a
man walk with head erect, utterly oblivous
of his fellow mortals for long period of
time.
Owing TO the bad weather and slim at
tendance, Col. G. II. Joyce's address was
postponed, and will be delivered some
