STATE FAIR.
None May he Held This Year because
Of Past Dchcits.

Notices have been sent to the stockhold-
ors of the Vermont State Agricultural so
ciety notifying them that the annual meet
ing will be held at the Pavilion in Mont
pelicr February ., at two O'Clock in the
afternoon, This meeting promises to be
one of the most interesting ones in the his
tory of the society,
1t is understood that for several years
the fairs have been financial failures and
the one at Rutland last year was pariicu-
larly bad. 1t is said that it is quite likely
the State fair Will not be held this year
but that if 1t is 1t will be held in conjunc-
tion with some other society than the
Rutland association.
1t has been suggested that those In Chit
tcnden county interested In "A fair form an
association, secure the support OF the
State Agricultural society ana hold fair
somewhere in the county. 1t is more than
possible that some such plan may mate
rialiZe.
