WHY NOT?

The celebration at the Fair Grounds at Crown Point was not the success that its promoters baH hoped. It requires haTd work to make anything of that kind succeed. To the older people present it was a day of enjoyment, but the sports were not strenuous for the younger people. Another thing we have heard criticised was the admission at the gate. One of the strongest factors against Crown Point was the big celebration at Rensselaer which was largely advertised. Rensselaer has the reputation of always making good so the peple from the south part of the county concluded to go there.—Lowell Tribune.
