soil are gathering there to see the ex-

and today they are surrounded by
those who can appreciate them.
1t is unusual to see the park filled
with people in the morning, but that
was the case there today.
In exhibition hall at the lower end of
the park the vegetable, fruit. and nee
dlework display attracted many, but
the hilltop was where the largest
crowd was found. Surrounding the
pens of sheep, pigs, cattle, horses,
dogs and poultry was an admiring
throng. Those who had the blue RIB
hons tied to their necks seemed to be
aware that they were better than their
neighbors and held their heads aloft to
be petted by those who surrounded
them.
Voice From Vermont.
