The I State Fair is essentially educational. I It was originally created to give the j people a cross section view of the j products of the fields, mines and fac- J tories, from which the commonwealth derives its prosperity. Such exhibits stimulate a friendly rivalry among our producers, and have a tendency to Improve Im-prove the quality of our products through emulation of the methods ,f the prize winners.
