Bennington crowds turnout for the 88th Rutland Fair opening. Wet tracks prevent the scheduled races, but an excellent classified race replaces them. Accomplice, the black gelding driven by Hanifin, wins the event in fair time. Also, Mt Anthony Country Club hosts a large invitation tournament won by C L Webster over C E Welles, and Bennington College prepares for a second year convocation with 160 expected registrants.
