THE CONCORD STATE FAIR

From the October 1901 issue of The Christian Science Journal


At the request of our readers we publish in full the following from the Boston Globe on the Concord State Fair:—

Concord, N. H., August 28.—At least fifteen thousand people attended the State Fair to-day. Some three thousand people entered the grounds as soon as the gates were opened at eight o'clock this morning and the crowds kept coming all through the day and evening from all parts of the state—from all parts of the country for that matter, as this fair has at least one attraction that is able to bring people from the farthest corners of the land right into the grand stand, which no other fair can hope to possess.

That attraction is Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the head of the Christian Science Church. She lives just back of the fair grounds on a little hill, and she has taken a keen interest in this fair since its inception a year ago. She has helped beautify some of the buildings and the grounds and she has visited the fair both years.
