Orwell Farmers Club Fair-NumerOus
Exhibits-Large Crowd.

|
people present on Wednesday. The fair
is held on the green in front of the Con-
gregational church and the town hall.the
floral and agricultural departments being
in the latter. This fair reminds one of
what is read about the old English coun-
try fairs more than anything we are in
the habit of seeing in this section of the
land. Hatch's military band of Rutland
furnished the music and gave good salts
faction.
Below we give the list of awards, and
notes of some things which we had just
time to glance at, though there were
many others just as deserving of mention.
The officers Of the fair are deserving of
great praise for their efficient manage
ment. and we tender our thanks for their
courtesy tous.
