Arrival of tho Musician Immense Crowd in
Attendance-The Show in the Mechanical
Department Sheep and Hogs-Anima-
tod appearance Of the Grounds-Over-run
with Hucksters-N Notes, etc.
AS predicted by us day or two since,
the weather continues now to be all that
the particular Pathfinder could wish,
while the crowds which focked into our
town upon the first day increased so yes
terday that the fair is now an assured sue
ce 8, and the most ardent anticipations of
the most sangulnary manager OF the show
are more than realized. The crowd, which
at evening gravitates back into the lively
precincts of Rutland, at an early hour yes
tcrday, took up its backward course to-
ward the grounds, and all day long the
streams of vehicles diminished not, neither
did it lag, but kept up its continual polr-
ing of humanity in through the entrance
till at noon the grounds were all alive with
Il curious and notified crowd of verdant
youths and madeira as well as the self-im-
portaDt but none the less unsophisticated
ReuLen from the larger towns The crowd
in attendance upon the second day has
been very much larger than on the same
day of any previous meeting of the soci-
ETY., and the exhibitions In all departments
are considerably more extensive this year
than ever bef IRE There seems to be
larger number of exhibitors from out of the
state, and the interest taken in it by our
own people Il very commendable. In the
MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT,
among the more extensive exhibitions we
notice that Of l. G. Kingsley, hardware
and furniture dealer Of Rutland, who
shows one case real compression bronze
hardware one case extra quality carpent-
era tools one Gaze, fine machinists' tools ;
one case Bailey s patent planes and tools /;
one shaw board of all kinds of saws
two new improved Excelsior lawn mowers;
one French black walnut chamber suit one
French black walnut hair cloth parlor SUIT,
all together forming one of the finest ex-
hbits in the department.
The Ames plow company of Boston have
probably the largest and finest collection OF
agricultural implements shown, and will,
as they generally do at nearly all fairs take
the first prize. A. G. Hoadley of Castleton
has upon exhibition very nice and ele'
ganty finished showing of top buggies,
cutters, etc. The French carriage com
papy of Grafton has also two specimens OF
its fine work. showing very fine finish ant
build. Currier & Lane of Amesbury have
ten of their finest build of buggies, which
are well made and decidedly hobby, Ryan
our Center street tinsmitb, has samples d
his valuable milk strainer on show, and The
display of milk pans and coolers by
other parties is also quite extensive
Among the philanthropical individuals
who are deserving of special mention il
Melvin Wright, who has mounted one O
his patent casks well filed with cool ant
sparkling Saratoga star water, in the hall
for the consumption by the officers OF tn

the fair. Having weighing capacity o
thirty tons, its sensitivencss, accuracy ant

Many people have been weighed upon thi

that this scale can weigh with equal accu
