Rutland Fair in Comparison With

From the Rutland Herald.l


We do not know whether the people
OF Rutland county realize it, but they
can be of service to the interests Of agri.
culture and indeed OF the county gener.
ally or they can give US black eye.
We do not think that the admission
fee, 90 cents. accounts for Yesterdays
slim attendance. 1t is possible that our
public does not know that there is some
thing on the grounds to see this year.
II so, it is the fault of the management.
It has been demonstrated over ut Brat
tleboro that a 30 cent admis sion charge
does not stand in the way of financial
ly successful fair. The people Of Wind
ham county know how to attract the
farmers as well as the public generally.
and they know how TO charge for their
show. II We cannot do what Brattle bo-
ro folk are doing year after year. then
let US confess it and go out Of the fair
business.
