state Eair---I bird Day.

The number present at the Fair Grounds
yesterday was much larger than on either of
the preceding days. and til re was great inter-
est manifested in the exhibition. The ladies
were out in fun force, aud the large amphi-
theatre present. a very gay and attractive
appearance. A traglcai aad sad occurrence
for time disturbed the exercises and married
tn. festive character of the occasion. This
difficulty. (Which is noticed elsewhere,) is the
first which has ever occurred on the Fair
Grounds ald it originated in family feud
which has existed for some time Such an oc-
currencc is hardly likely TO transpire on the
grounds again, nor would this one have la
ken place had not some of the parties assured
several of the Directors of the Fair that vio-
lcnce should be prevented there. A strong
police foIce will be in attendance hereafter,
and every precaution taken to prevent any
collisions during the progress of the Fair.
OF the animals shown, there were many
which could hardly by surpassed elsewhere,
whilst all. or nearly all, were of superior kind
and quality, high formed and strongly built.
