We are informed by the managers that sV-
cry preparation is being made for the accom-
mediation Of stock, and convenience Of those Ct
tending the exhibition. Stabng has been
fitted up on the ground for the aecomm odation
Of horses intended for exhibition, and board
ing tent is erected for the accommodation Of
those who wish to take their meals upon the
grounds.
We recently paid visit 10 the grounds, and
we're pleased to End them 10 the best order we
have ever seen them before. The track is per
fecuy hard and smooth, and we anticipate some
rare sport upon it during the exhibition. By
reference to the circular published last week,
it will be seen that the managers have divided
the tro!ting into two classes. Those who have
attended the previous exhibitions will remem.
Der that fom fifteen 10 twenty horses were en-
tered for premiums in the trotting class, and
that much time was wasted 10 determining
which were the real competitors for the prizes
By dividing the trotting into two classer, 1t is
hoped that the really fast horses may be thrown
together, aud those which are slower also to.
gether. We are informed by the Secretary
that quite number Of horses aIe already en-
tered in the several classes of trot:ing and pa.
cling, as we'll as in The other departments.
We see that .'the little sorrel" that won the
race in the pacing class last season, is already
upon the track, training for the CT ntest, and we
are informed that he can have an opportunity
of testing his speed with Frank Pierce" who
is too well known to the citizens of this CON-
muuity to require any notice from u.s. Among
the trotting stations already entered are the
"Grqy Eagle" formerly of Keutuck-
Y, aud the sBitt-footed vermont Bay" who
received the premium in this class at the last
exhibition. as well as a number of other of
Justly celebrated horses. In the class of stations
for all purposes, we hear Of quite number
who will be IN hand, and in colts of various
ages and kinds the number is almost leg on
We anticipate far better show of stock, both
in number and quality, than has been exhibit
ed at either of the former fairs. and we are
pleased to see that horsemen are awake to the
importance Of such exhibitions.
The managers have also offered liberal pre-.
miums for Female Equestrianism, and the la
dies of Coumbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull
counties challenge the States n beat them in
feats of equestransm on that occasion. This
feature will add much to the nteresto of the Ex.
hib;tion, and is of itself sufficient nducement
to secure the attendance of every admirer Of
fine hOrse-wOmanShip and the accomplished e
gaeStrienne.
We say to everybody who admres good
horse-and we really pity the person who does
nOt-and Who is pleased with an array of fine
stock, go to the Exhibition. tor there you will
fnd them. Such an exhibition of noble steeds
ofhgh blood, as well as those of the more heavy
and serviceabe character. will rarely be met
with in this or any other Stste.
