NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
TOr RTff DAY.

has spread its eUlgeLoe this great National hol-
| day and long before noon there was demonstration
on the part of the people to make ii day Of
ton and rational enjoyment by assembling here in
| large crowds As | anticipated in my notice Of the
number Of visitors yesterday, the most extravagant
estimates made of the number that entered the
| grounds
| The receipts from all sources were sl5,000-say
$4,000 for admission tickets would be y 900 persons
and allowing 10000 for non.payng persons, and we
have total of 81 600, which viii undoubtedly cover
| the whole; yet one here estimates the number at
less than 10000 and from that to double that number
The number undoubtedly large-very large
large enough without exsggeraton To enable persons
to estimate the number of persons in crowd, let us
see how many will stand upon II they stand
as closely they do voluntarily will hold
only 10 600 men, and less that number Of fashonaby
dressed ladies. Now if every acre of this nclosure
packed, where there is standing room it would
not hold double the number estimated to have been
present yesterday. SO much for that soap-bubbe.
Another that needs breaking is the ridiculous assertion
that this " ls the greatest Show ever held IN the
world The show of stock Is fair, it is interesting
and useful; it is not arge-it is not half as large
such an exhibition should be at National Fair For
all useful purposes the show Of horses has been
ceeded The 500 horses rode last year by the Boston
cartmen five hundred times better than the 500
rode here by the Philadelphia butchers. Still there are
some horses Of superior character for work such

stock that ~th Societies should encourage But they
