the thorough bred short hons there being 45 entries

could learn also exhibited some very fine short
horns.
The most beautiful cattle the ground however, in
opinion, the Devons. There are about dozen
of these, and they considerable attention. We
believe they belong Mr. Collins of Hamilton county,
and to Mr. Kenyon, of Wayne county.
A number of very fine and steers present.
Ono is nearly six feet high, and is said weigh
nearly 1000 pounds, although he is far from being fat.

Mr.. Downing has large number Of Merino bucks,
from New York. They for sale, and said by
Judges to be OF superior quality.
There also few Cotswold and Leicester sheep,
which are fine animals.
A number of very large hogs exhibition,
though the variety is not great nor the stock so
good might be looked for in State which raises so
much pork Indiana does.
Next to the Cattle, the Horses make the best show
We found it, however, extremely difficult to learn any
thing about them as but very few instances did we
find any at the stalls who could give information
concerning them.

lon--'Sr Archie Ranger" two years old; and "Boxer
Whip" belonging to Mr. Levi Cook, of HamitOn coun-
ty is also fine animal.
