CoNNEAur FAIR.-We learn from the
Reporter, the following facts in reference to
the Fair at Conneaut: The number of en-
tries exceeded those of last year some hun
dred or more, and but for the storm would
have been double; but the receipts are con
siderably less, and will hardly cover ex-
penses.
Upon the whole the exhibition was
credtabe one. Not less than $50 Of the
horse kind were entered-comprising oil
ages and breeds, from the heavy English
horse aud the courageous Morgan, to the
gaunt racer and diminuitive pony-each
with his admirers and "backers."
The exhibition of Cattle was not large
but especially in milch cows.
OF sheep, also, there were some fine
specimens-the Leicesters 10y Mr. CALKrNs,
of Ashtabula, were particularly noticed and
commended.
The Vegetable Department was well fill
ed. We have never seen better exhibi-
tion of Vcge tables.
There was good display of the Fine
Arts:-Paintiugs, Drawings, Landscapes,
&C., which attracted much attention.
Iu Machinery and Farm Implements the
show was not large. A Mower each by
Mr. TINKER and Mr.. JuDsoN, a model of
MILL's Thresber, Rotary Harrow, and
Funning Mill, were the most noticeable.
Dairy Products made fair display.
The Sweepstake race closed the exhibit
tion. The track or ring is 90 rods around,
and was in good condition. But one-a
gaunt ruut of mare, by GEO. E. NETTLE
TON of Ashtabula-was entered for the sad
die cheat" and of course took the premium.
Five contestants entered for the trot in har-
ness-tbree times around, or 270 rods, as
follows:
Netteton'S mare-time 2.27
Lockwoods horse 2.35
Phclns's horse 2.38
&C. Gibson's horse {" 302
Wilsey'S mare 2.4O
Subsequently the little mare made the 270
rods in ZIG.
An unfortunate accident occurred to Mr..
President Skinner, on "Wednesday. He
was exercising colt in sulky on the
ground, when by sudden spring Mr., S.
was thrown to the ground with great vio-
ence. The bone of one leg was fractured,
and he was otherwise badly bruised.
