Remember the county fair which COM

! something towards It's success. 1t is
expected that the wrestle between Flagg
the champion of Vermont, and Dufer,
1 the present champion of the world will
be very exciting and closely contested
tussle. These men have tried strength
several times of late and are almost an
equal match. Dufer has usually been

& declared the winner at St. Johnsbury
last week. and hence his challenge by
8 Dufer. Flagg was soldier in the old

n One thing has been noticeable sine,

q the few pleasant things in the great ma
