The crowd in attendance at the Fair Grounds
yesterday was as large, if not larger, than on
any. previous day. The shower about noon
caused great many to return to the city, very
essentially diminishing the number in atten-
dance. The fact tlat large number of fine
blooded horses were to be exhibited, drew
larger crowd than any thing previously exhib-
tied.
1t was the unanimous opinion of those who
were competent to judge, that an exhibition of
finer horses had never taken place in Tonnes
see. 1t would have caused the eye of every
admirer of that noble animal in the State, to
glow with admiration, had he been present to
look upon them as they proudly walked or
trotted around the ring. The number OF en-
tries shows conclusively that those who are
engaged in raising fine horses have taken a
more lively interest in the Fair than the tillers
of the soil. This should stimulate the latter
class to prepare for the Fair of next year.
The exhibition of blooded aged mares was
decidedly the feature of yesterday. They were
the finest and best looking bakers dozen of
mares we ever saw in one collection, and we
heard the highest encomiums passed upon all
of them by men whose judgment in such mat
tiers cannot be questioned.
We have never seen judges SO puzzled in
making their awards, from the fact that all the
horses exhibited were of such superior merit.
