attenti n. j. =. Donovan OF Montpelier
showed musical instruments and sewing
machines, and entertained the crowd with
a graphophone. Phillips Lucas of Mont
polier exhibited sewing machines, and the
Grimm and Leader evaparators, the for

President Lynde and Secretary Holden
adhered this year to the rule so rigidly en-
forced in former years to allow no gamblers
or fakirs on the ground. In this wise
course the management of the S ate fair
and many other fairs throughout Vermont
might well take a lesson.
The proceeds of the fair allowed the man
agement to pay all purses and premiums
promptly, leaving snug surplus, a part Of
which might wisely be expended in enlarg-
ing the floral hall.
