hour. Etfort had been made 10 OBTAIN, <
previously, as many entries as possible |
and large number were made in the days !
preceding yet the secretaries were busily |
engaged in this, during the greater part
Of the frat day. The entries were large
in every department. above every thing
hitherto known to this Fair and much
was on exhibition which was not regularly
entered, and of the ownership of which we
could not learn.
The second day was the most delightful
that could be imagined and an immense
multitude lhronged the grounds Itwould
he useless, ON account of pcculiarliies of
the locality to attempt any close estimate
of the number in attendance, say from
5000 to 5000 1t is rarely indeed that
such a concoursc Of people spend day
so pleasantly and pro6tably as on the last
day of the Fair. There was on every face
expressions Of the highest satisfaction and

lcath to give up the place and the OCCASION.
No accident occurred worthy Of mention.
We noticed no drunkenness quarelling, or
any mbccoming thing that could disturb
the peace Of any. Dut ON the other hand
the accommodations Tor the floral and
miscellaneous dcpartn cnts were extremely
| contracted, at least twice ~ much room
was absolutely needed for the comfort OF
the visitors and for the proper display OF
the articles exhibited. Again. it was found
impossible TO use the track for lrotting,
with safety, from the possibility oil keep
ing the crowds at sufficient distance the
track is rot fenced v c are pleased to
observe AN earnest desire On the part of
numerous friends Of tie Society, to secure
ample and permanent Accommodations for
the future.
After the concuh ion Of the examination
by the committees there was "a Grand Cav
alcade of Horses upon the track, which
nearly filled the entire circuit. 1t is rare
" indeed, thata display oil this kind equals
this,-which was calculated to elevate the
pride Of our citizens, and call forth the
admiration of all who saw it. After a
suitable display Of these, the track was
cleared and the President announced that
the following named horses, of note, would
each be exercised en- the track, alone, in
the following order: SHERMAN BLACK
HAWK, GREYHOUND, HARD ROAD, MAzEP-
PA, PocmAHoNTAs, FANNY ALLEN and
YOU'VE RATHER.
The first is owned by ID. A. Bennett
Il Co., of pridport and is too well known
wherever the black Hawk Morgans are
known,t need any commentator here. He
is said more nearly to resemblehis famous
sire, the Old Black Hawk, than any horse
, living and very nearly fills his place. AT
the National Show, in Boston, in 1855
he trotted in 2 SO.
\ Following him was GREYHOUND, a dap
\ pied grey stallion, owned by l'ossrs. Rob.
inson & Minturn. Ferrisburgh. He is, We
e \think, five years DID, by Old Black Hawk

5 last tIotters in the State. He is II horse
S Of great promise.
