), mails. Mr.. Beardsley of Souihington,
. had eighteen yokes of work cattle in one
= team, and Wm. Jones and Sons, of Fow-
5 Ter, had sixteen yokes. All were good
: cattle, and some pairs were extra. Jas.
Mackey, of Vienna, showed a pair OF
t twin two year old steers, weighing 1920
lbs. c Growers, of Rowland, also a pair
of twins, three years old, which were
fine. There were many good cows and
heifers, and steers, the names of whose
: owners we are ignorant. Among the
Bulls, we noticed the large Red, owned
by A. Rush, of Liberty, KInsman's
Buena Vista, one owned by Mckay, of
Brookfeld, Ii. B. Perkins, (spotted) d.
W.Jamesoa's, and others. The President.
purchased by the President of the Soci-
ETY., of Clssius N. Clay, took The sweep
stakes premium. Trumbull County may
well be proud of her Durhams.
Sheep. Seth Bushnell, Of Hartford,
brought his famous South Downs. These
are a very valuable variety for wool and
mutton. The French Merinos of a.
Christy, of BrookGeld, took several prem
iums both for fine wool, and fat sheep
His sheep are of the best class. H..
Woodrow, of Champion, and S. Esiabrook
of this Town, had some very fine Saxony.
If there were others, they were taken
away before we could see them.
OF the Swine, we can say nothing, as
nearly every one had gone before we
had reached their quarters.
Third Day-Horses. This day was
devoted exclusively to the exhibition of
Horses, Mules, &c.
The number Of Horses was large, and
among them were many which would
pass as first class at any fair.
Besides those TO which the premiums
were given, (the owners names NAV be
found in the list of premiums awarded,
published in..anoiher column) were several
of each class, which were lin our o%pinion)
almost. if not quite, as deserving of pre-
miums, as those hat received them
Owing 10 the circumstance of a part of.
each of The different Committees on Hor.
ses being absent, those members which
were present, were made a General Com
mitiee to pass upon the merits of all the
Horses. This was a bad arrangement.
as men differ widely in opinion upon such
matters, and it is frequently the case that
when The second, or third premium, or
none at all, may be given by one Com.
mittee 10 a certain horse, the same horse
may receive the premium on sweepstakes,
awarded by another committee.
As we were a member of this commit
tee, We take the liberty Of speaking thus,
and it is but justice to the owners of the
horses which received second and third
premiums, or failed TO receive any, to
say that there was very frequently a mi.
nori!y Of The committee who differed from
the mrjori,y.
The Jacks, J%enuies, and Mules, belong.
ing 10 Seth Bushnell. of Hartford, were
excellent specimens of that kind Of stock.
So also were those shown by Fitch Lewis /,
of Bazoltl.
Decidedly the cutsst part of the cxhi
bitioD, and which constantly attracted the
greatest crowd, was a Miniature Farm,
planned and got up by two or three young
ladies of this place. Ii was some five or
six feet in diameter, covered with turf
surrounded by a neat rail fence, and fenc-
cd of in several lots. Upon it was a log
cabin, covered with clapboards, chinked
and danbed, having a stick chimney, al
old men sitting in a chair, before The door,
a baby in q cradle, and a woman inside
the house, a well with a sweep and buck
eli, a log barn, with hay and grain, horses
and cattle in the barn, and under the shed, {
pigs, chickens ducks in a pond, |
corn crib, hay stacks, horses and cattle,
orchard and fun, a garden, clothes
hanging on The line, and other Ell ceteras, {
las the auction bills say too numerous
TO mention. l. was a complete success.
To be seen, were Major Groves TWO {
Buffaloes, and his Spanish Cow.
Beside these, were The usual accompa-
nimerts of aFair, the Eating Stalls, Gin.
gerbread, Pea Nuts, Watermelons, Cider, !
lee Cream. The COW with six legs, Ped
diers, tie Revolving Swings, Omnibusses
and dusi. !
In town, in the evenings, were the Lu- .
ca Family at GaskiII Hall, a Magician at
Empire, d Ball at The American
House, and another over the CITY Saloon. :
