Sagadahoc County Fair.

The Cattle Show and Fair of the Sagada-
hoe Agricultural and Horticultural Society, at
Topsham last week, was very creditable af-
fair. We regret that we did not have an op-
portuniiy of witnessing the exhibition of stock
on Wednesday but we learn that it was fair,
and on the whole much better than could have
been expected at such an early period of the
Society's existence.
The exhibition Of fruit and vegetables, fan
cy articles, &c., was such as would do credit
TO any similar society in the State. The
number in attendance throughout was large,
and a degree of interest manifested that leads
us TO hope that the future Shows of this So
ciety will vie, in all respects with any in the
State. We copy, below, the reports of the
several committees, for which we are indebted
to our neighbor, OF the Tribune =
1o,cn teams of Oren-S10.-1st to Topsham

of thirteen yoke; 81; Sd to Bowdoin team of
ten yoke. The committee spoke highly ofthe
team Of five horses owned by Dudly Gilman, Of
Bath. But as no premium could be awarded
they recommended that hereafter competition
be offered for such teams. The committee say
-"Mr. Gilman deserves great credit for his
exhibition"
Tocn teams Of fSeers.-Eght yoke of Steers
were entered from Topsham, and as the num-
Der was two less than required no premium
