tinue throughout the week. The attendance baa been the
largest of many years, but epee the whole there has been
• mosrerty of hones, especially of the bet ter clam. On foreign
account, hones for chargers and artillery purposes were
readily bought up, as were bones of good breeding for the
addle and harness. The English demand was for
army purposes and for Woolwich. High-bred horses ware
hardly represented, but any such were immediately bought.
°urine sad riding bones, and especially the clan muted
for London cabs and omnibuses, were in much deemed and
were readily disposed of. Hones of quality, suitable for
exportation, were also is request. Heavy, powerful horses,
for day work, were pretty good to sell ; hut other descrip-
tions of saimals, for agricultural purposes sac ordinary
uses, were I. the greatest snpply, and a large number re-
niaioed unsold, sod will Tennis over until the fair on Satur-
day. Most of the diming lull oa Tuesday tight for the
