BRIDGEPORT, Oct. Is, 1857.
Nisa gloomy day upon the grounds of the fourth
Annual Fair Of the Connecticut State Agricultural So
ciety It has not rained hard at any time, but has
drzzled just enough all day, as it did yesterday to
keep back the people, that the receipts will suffer-

One or two hundred may be received to-day, and
unless tomorrow is good day, should not like to
guarantee total Of over 5000. This will not pay
premiums and expenses, but fortunately the Society
has about g., 900 in reserve.
I have had but little opportunity to-day to look
about for ANYTHING not noticed in my first letter, as
have been engaged in getting hold OF premiums, and
have eded in wing able to furnish the following
which comprise all that declared up to oclock.
The principal attractions to visitors have been upon
the track where the horses all exhibited and made
a very good show. There were also some exhibitions
Of speed and the horned cattle were also exhibited
upon the track, and there was alss q blowing mstch
upon the ground inclosed within the track, which is
much preferable to having it oil in some distant field
From IL TO o'clock there was considerable throng
people, but the clouds then came over 50 dark that
large portion Of them left hurledly, without waiting
TO the fine exhibition of four-in hand teams and
saddle horses advertised for 81 O'clock the grand
cayalchoe OF al the ANIMALS at CLOCK.
Only moderate percentage Of the visitors to-day
were females, though there enough to give very
pleasing variety OF colors to the crowd. good many
families came IN their carriages which were ad-
mtted within the incosurea plan that should al ways
be adopted wherever the ground will admit Of the
arrangement as invites visitors aud gives great sat
isfacton particularly 10 residents Of the wn near
where the Fair may be held.
As Usual the outside barbarians are in full force
but owrg TO bad weather, some of them will make
losing Job having paid enormous rents for little spots
OF ground near the entrance gate.
