0. & P. Horse Exhibition.

We last week published the list of pre-.
mums Of the third Ohio and Pennsylva
MIA Horse Exebition, whicn will be held
in Salem Columbiana County o., on The
Sd, 4th, 9Th, and 9Th days Of September
next. We are informed by the managers
tina. every preparation is being made for
the accommodation Of stock, and convent
ence Of those attending The exhiblLIon.-
Slabling has been fitted up on the grounds
for the accommodation of horses intended
for exhibition, and boarding tent is erec-
led for the accommodation OF those who
wish 10 take their meals upon the
grounds. ..... ...-
We recently paid visit to the grounds,
and were pleased 10 find them in the best
order we have ever seen them before
The track is perfectly hard and smooth,
and we anticipate some rafe sport upon
it during the exhibition. By reference
TO the circular published last week,
ii will be seen that the managers have
divided the trottihg into Two classes
Those who have attended tue previous
exebi,ions will remember that from fit
teen 10 twenty horses we're entered for pre-
ums in the trolting class, and that much
time was wasted in determining which
we're the real competitors for The prizes.
BY dividing the trolting into two classes,
it is hoped that the really fast horses may
be thrown together, and those which are
slower also KEEP! together. We are i'll
formed by the Secretary that quite
number Of horses are already entered in
the several classes Of Irotting and pacing,
as well as in the other departments. We
see that i, The little sorrel " that won the
race in the pacing class last SEASON., is al
ready upon The track, training for the con
test, and we a'e informed that he can
have An opportunity of testing his speed
with Frank PIERCE who is TOO we'll
known by The citizens of this community
10 require any notice from us. Among
the .ro,ting stations already entered are
the celebrated "Grey Eagle" formerly
Of Kentucky, and the swiit-footed Yer
mont Boy" who received the premium
in This class a, the last exhibition, as we'll
as number Of other justly celeb, ated
horses. In the class of stations for all
purposes, we hear Of quite number who
will be On hand, and in colts Of various
ages and kinds the number is almost le.
gion. We anticipate far better show of
srock, both ia number and quality, than
has beea exhibited at either OF the former
fairs, and We are pleased to see that horse.
men are awake TO The importance of such
exhibitions
The managers have also offered liberal
premiums for Female Equestrianism, and
the ladies of Columbiana, Mahoning and
Trumbnll Counties challenge the States to
beat them in feats of equestrianism on
that occasion. This feature will add
much to the inleres, of the Exhibition,
and is of ITSELF sufficient inducement to
secure The attendance of every admirer
of fine horse-womanship and the accom-
pished equestrienne:
We say to everybody who admires a
good horse-and we really pity the per-
son who does not-who is pleased with
an fine array Of stock. 90 to the Exhbi-
ton, for t"ere you will find them. Such
an exhibition ofnoble steeds Of high blood,
as well as those Of the more heavy and
servlcab'e character, will rarely be met
with in alisor any other State Col. Co.
