tZZnd instant.
y The Court house was thrown
kopen for the Exhibition Of the vari
kous articles entered for Premiums
kThe quantity and quality OF Agricul
stural products greatly surpassed th'
! tSexhibiiion Of last year. The variety
/ Eof apples exhibited was larger. Mr.
Z eMiddleswarth exhibited twenty-si,
varieties Of apples. which were very
much admired, as was the same irui
!. belonging 10 Mr.. Guthrie. We GER
tainly never saw better varieties ol
larger and nicer fruit anywhere
We trust the people OF Gallia county
will be-induced TO give more atten
lion to fruit. The show OF vegeta
bles was small, but excellent in quail
k;y-the same is true OF the products
Sof the dairy. We refer 10 the list oI
kpremiums of these articles for the
names Of the exhibitors. The arii'
Ecles in the ladies department were
Ethe most extensive, and they are en-.
TITLED 10 the thanks of the Society FOR
making that part Of the Fair so at
tractive. We cannot speak Of them
in detail. as we took no notes, and
ibid not learn the names OF Exhibi>
TORS; but The handiwork of our fair
county women was universally ad-
mired. This certainly is not the
least interesting feature OF such
Fairs, and we trust the ladies will
never allow this department TO fall
sbehind.
q The stock presented on the second
day was not large, but fair. The
report OF the committees will present
the comparative merits of EACH
awe notice that increased attention
shad been given since the last exhibi
slion, to sheep-especially is this the
case with Capt. ]. Devacht, of this
place, and Mr.. L. Titus. Of Cheshire.
In most of the departments of the
Fair, the number exhibited was less
{ than we had hoped to have seen. Yet
/ it was, in most cases, larger than last
year, and in quality showed a very
marked improvement. If we may
Judge OF the feeling of our citizens gem
orally, toward sustaining and extending
. these yearly exhibitions, by the num-
bers present last week, we predict that
they are rapidly to grow in interest and
Importance. The number present, on
both dayS, exceeded any gathering in
GalIipolis this year. We understand
THAT the number Of members was greatly
Increased, which will enable the Society
. to extend ifs premium list, its numbers
and amount, while at the same time ID
secures a more extended interest. We
would advise all to come forward and
enrol their names as members, and the
practical good that will result to the
county will more than compensate for
all the trouble and expense.
Below we give the Inst of premiums
awarded, and the official proceedings of
the board.
