attendance and 1T was estimated that

There was also much interest in the
baby show. A creased pig race was a
feature of the day and was won by Geo.

played in the afternoon between the
Monmouth Academy team and a picked

one seemed to have good time and in
that way old Litchfield Fair is always
success.
