(Note-The associate editor of the Standard has
reported on the three preceding branches, and he
doubts not has made many omissions. He was on
the Fair Grounds but short time and in the crowd
of persons it was almost impossible to take notes.
He would have visited the Grounds again, and made
a more thorough examination, but he objected to
the principle of paying 25 cents for each time he
entered the gate for the purpose of laborng for the
good of the Fair and not for the purpose of his
enjoyment. He and he alone, is responsible for his
report, as well as for this motel
The number of horses was not SO great as might |
be wished; but was compensated for, in some meas
ure, by the exceency of the stock on exhibition,
