The State Fair.

We had the pleasure of attending the
Second Annual Ohio State Fair held at
Columbus on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday last. Taking the cars at this place
at half past two P NJ, the next day at a.
bout P. NJ we found ourselves landed in
the Capitol City, where had gathered the
largest crowd Of people ever assembled in
Ohio, who had come up from every section
Of the State TO exhibit and see the produc.
tions of her soil, and of her workshops.
Columbus was literally filed to cveraowing
The number present on The Fair grounds at
one time was variously estimated at from
5000 to IS ,000, and this could not have
| been half the number in the city.
| 1t would be useless for US TO attempt TO
give description Of the exhibition. 1t was
the largest and finest agricultural exhibi-
, ton ever held in the State, and we were
told by those who had attended the Fairs
! il. several other States that, in many re.
spects ours tcuk the lead. The grounds
are conveniently loca ed about mile from
the city, and contain some forty acres, ard
no pains had been spared to fit them up for
the occasion in ille most admira bic manner
Large and convenint buildings were erected
and div dsd into stalls in which TO keer
/ the cattle atd horses; halls for the exhibit
tion OF agricultural products. and for Do
nestle manufactures and the works of art
"a Floral Hall, which was most beautifully
decorated; an arch was erected in whict
was set boiler for the purpose Of propelI
ing and testing the machinery on exh bition;
number OF wells had been dug for TIN
purpose Of furnishing water for man ant
beast, and for trying hydraulic Inventions
enclosures for exhibiting horses and cattl'
were erected. and, in fact, everything abou
4Le grou d.; was ar anged in the most ad
mirable and convenient order.
There was no lack of articles to be ex
,hibited Ilrdee SO much was TO be seen
and SO many anxious to see, that time 70
pa sing glance at the different article
was all that could be had We have new
er seen as fine lot Of horses and cattle a
| we saw on those grounds. There were
number of oxen weighing over 3,0O0 pound
each, AID COWS with their young pr"geny
valued at from $3.50 to S20O.
There were many articles worthy o
note in all the various departments, hut w
have no room for further description.
The deep interest manifested in this cx
hibiton gives ample evidence that the peo
pie are awake TO the Importance of encour
aging those industrial pursuits upon wbicl
the prosperity, happiness and greatness o
the Slate depends.
