NETWORK STATE FAIR.
From our own Reporter

SARATOGA. Thursday, Sept 90 1853
This is the first public day the morning opens finely
as could be desired AT O'Clock the people Of the
rounding country began arrive freely in all sorts of farm
ers conveyanos The crowd by railroad is nothing com
pared with former years and the nclosue of twenty acres
of IL clock has show Of a crowd-tha is such crowd
as We have usually the State Fair The truth Is and
ii need not be disguised the Fair failure We hear it
asserted by those well qualified to give opinions that tho
Society will have draw from the reserved fund 10
make up deficiencies We hope this will not be the
bat things day certainly look Ike II. For this there
are several beside the rain on Monday and Tues
day for that does not keep back the people TO day but the
double charge for admission does. Heretofore, mem
her one dollar took himself and family in through the
Fair Now he gets five tickets Last year single ilek
were l2l cents this IS Heretofore the hxngs OF
the grounds have been completed and well completed,
and announced before the time of opening This year
everything have been put off TILL the last day and
the last hour Some Of the buildings contemplate
The much needed arrived three days after they
should have been in place They on car and found
switched off at Utica Whose fault was that Whose
fault is IL that the fixtures at the State ground mis-
cradle. Is hemock lumber scarce at Saratoga, that
sheep worth $500 apiece should he exposed TO the nclem
eney of two DAYS storm Somebody deserves severe
apprehension for the failure of this Fair for failure is in
the things exhibited except stock and in the attendance
Of the people The best friends Of the State Society
disgustd-ashamed 10 think that good many strangers
are here and that they look surprised and inquire l.
this the great show OF the State Agricultural Society OF

crowd we have heard much of the first day Of open
ling to the public We sorry 10 say they not
here and there is nothing indicate any grea; influx OF
visitors In this respect II is probable that the receipts
will be less than any fair this years In several of
the departments OF things usually exhibited the deficiency
is lameniGble.
Doiry Pr0ducis-This is one of the most deficient.
There but eli hi cheeses and six tubs OF butter This
is not owing TO the total failure Of diaries in the State from
drouh altogether, but to the Inconvenience of getting
things here by the miserably Inefficient railroads
There is about the usual amount of biz sqlaShes and
long and large cabbage heads There about
bushel Of tomatoes the largest perhsps exhibited
There is small show of nne and some samples
highly cretabe 70 the producers. One shows 80
kinds Of beans in one good many specimens OF
seeding potatoes, warranted not to rot among the Gu
rosiiies Ii they would not they would be curious
The Manufacturers Hall contains fair show OF wo-
man skill taste and industry with her needle. Ii also
contains hundreds of feet Of uncccuped tables There
sCme three dozen secimens of work from the household
LOOM including carpet flannel v0elen and linen cloths
and coverles THERE'S small show of good sadlery and
some cases of sverwse and other small Manufactures
bat the whole this great Hall reminds u OF the open
space OF the great western prares and the groups Of vs

OF lonely tree.
