NATIONAL FAIR-SECOND DAY
u TIN. 7. Tribune.

PHILADELPHIA elnesddy, Oct = 1870
Another beautiful day has opened auspicously for
this grand holiday and the people have avaled them
selves Of il to much larger extent than they did yes
terday though nothing like the crowds that visited the
grounds at Boston have yet visited these. Perhaps
one Of the il the want Of ongeyances from the
lower part Of the cy-the regular stage lines being
entirely insufficient, and adequate provision of
| tras having been made many citizens will not make
an attempt TO get out. Strangers VIII "f course but
monv Of them have TO walk out and n and part of the
way in O cloud Of dust. IL Is expected that large
crowd will come in Thursday and Friday. and will
he very necessary the chow will not pay expenses
The receipts Yesterday only 5000 for all stors
entries and carriages admitted TO pass the gates There
might have been lO,OOo people within the Enclosure
Yesterday and if 40 there will be 20 900 to-day A
very large provision has been made OF seats alongside
of The conrte but a. tie charge is - cents seat and
once occupied must be held continually or forfeited,
they remain to q great extent unoccupied As have
previously stated the grand attraction s the course
and the nearer the exhibit on approaches a race the
better the people satisfied. The show of horses is
much larger than it yesterday, and tine proportion
of good ones still greater Beside the fast nag there
are really some OF the working class that very
celent and still greater show Of the best mules
together at any fair; aud what peases me
most is 10 see them here in their everyday
working order. One Of the great faults Of all
stock exhibitions Is that working animals stted
for exhibition and in nine out of ten fat and not
quality the winner There is one breeder who goes
constantly against this show of fat. This Is Jacob "
Bskesee Ltcbfeld CT, who exhibits team of ten
pair of Connecticut working oxen in working order
Also herd of Devons for the herd premium, and sew
elal other bulls oxen and heers OF the milking
stock of this breed. Mr.. Blakeslee says:
1t If not my expectation to draw premiums on all
these animals; wsh 10 ascertain whether there is 10
be any encouragement given for the art OF raising good
breeding animals in this country Therefore, shall
exhibit my stock on general principles-my oxen in
fsr working condition, my COWS IN mix, my male anu
female animals in proper condition for breeding none
Of them fattened for the sake Of drawing premiums
This should be the governing rule Of all exhibitions
of stock aud until that rule is made imperative We
must expect TO see good animals spoiled by fattlng
them for show to win the 6clat of gaining prize
awarded BY Judges that know no more about the points
of the animals examined and what constitutes qualities
worthy OF premiums than the owners do about the
principles that should govern breeder. Mr. Blakes-
lee is correct in his expectations not TO draw premiums
he will lose and fat will win.
