vantage of the display say it was

our first attempt at putting on
such an exhibit. Superintendent
Hall reports a good attendance
each day at the building and re-
ceived assurances from the many
exhibitors that they will come a.
gain next year with a much larg-
er and better display. A sample
of nearly every known vegetable
and grain raised in this part of
the 1reasuretState was noted a.
