SECOND DhY-AFTERSO0N.
BUFFALO, Wednesday P. M, Oct. 7.
Contrary to all appearances and expectations, at
noon TO- day the receipts have besn almost unprecedeny
Iaree-footing up over 5000. This makes a total of
a. co., and two of the generally considered best days
of the Fair for visitors yet to be added which persons
best qualified to Judge say will make up total of
over f2 Coo which will put the Society In funds so as
% enable them to offer some premiums next year
little more worthy Of such State than any now upon
1he list
The visitors that came almost as thick and sud-
denly as q cloud of locusts this afternoon. came
almost entirely from other places than Buffalo.
have rarely seen more crowded show-ground than
ibis was about o'clock. Ii numbered some 2O,OOO
people, and it must have afforded most beautiiul
picture a. from the river, as that does from the
ground. The proportion OF women has been very
large all day and general appearance of satisfaction
ard holiday enjoyment seemed to prevail almost uni
versaly. The people outside and IN have been very
orderly and il Is because there has been but little
drunkenness. j hope the man who was most obfusti-
Gated, far as observed to-day, will never be seen
again ir the condition. Ii s not at sll TO the
credit Of the sobrety of the officers of this society
that they allow rumdInking in any OF their buildings.
If any man cannot refrain from an accursed hsbit
5or one week he hsd better lay aside the dignity Of
Office before he disgraces IL.
The life and soul Of the State Agricultural Society
rests in Col johnson, the Secretary. Without him 1t
would be ship at sea without rudder. IL Is re-
Insrkable, noteworthy and praseworthy the amount
of business thai he gets through WITH without trouble
or confusion. The general Superintendent of the
Fair, Mejor Patrick OF Watertown is certainly en-
titled ~ honorable menton.
This afternoon Committees were all busy at work,
but bow tbey could work IN such crowd s wonder.
An this part Of the arrangement Is wrong The exami-
atiors should have been made yesterday, when there
Sva no crowd. After closing my letter this afternoon,
