LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS.

The Chronicle has gathered together the
following formidable list of applications no.
ticcd for presentation to the Legislature.
All of them but the three Railroad applica-
tions regard those most troublesome of all
matters, the adjustment of town and coun-
ty lines, the division Of old counties and the
formation Of new ones, and changes Of coun-
ty buildings. From their nature they in
local interests and conveniences, which are
never determined to the satisfaction of all
oftentimes not to the satisfaction of ma; ori-
ty Of those who take interest in them. Their
consideration in the Legislature always con-
sumes a great deal of time, especially of
committees, and there is no end to the ca
balling and log-rolling which they give rise
to. If half of those noticed are pushed vigo-
rously, the members may be sure that there
will be no lack of business on their hands.

SPRINGFIELD HORsEsHoNy.

This exhibition came off according to an
nouncement, last week, and was most sue
cessful affair. The horses contesting the
premiums were divided into twenty-four
classes, and the total amount of premiums
is S3l95. In 1858 it was $3.50 in 1857,
S2300. The number of horses entered in 1853
was 3l5 in 1857, 1873 this year more than
400. We notice in the list of entries many
Vermont horses.
* Ia-uslnl people, it is estimated visited
the grounds the first day. Wednesday APP
peared cloudy, but the attendance was very
large. The main attraction of the day was
the race between the ethan Allen" and
"IIiram Drew" won by Ethan
Allen in 2,40. In the afternoon, the
grounds were crowded, large proportion of
the spectators being ladies.
Thursday, it rained tremendous to uso
the words of one reporter, sit scemed'as if
there was national firemen's muster direct
ly over Springfield, and there was general
trial of all the machines to $50 which could
throw the greatest quantity of water" "
Consequently nothing was done of impor-
lance on the grounds,
The fourth day was clear and the crowd
the largest ever on the grounds-2O, 600 at
the least, The first thing was a grand caval-
cade of horses entered for exhibition around
the half mile course. 1t filled the course
nearly full and made grand spectacle.
THIS was followed by an exhibition Of fancy
matched horses.
W. II. Rray, brother to the "horse
tamer," exhibited his skill at subduing
vicious hors :, and to the satisfaction OF all
who saw him.
Friday evening banquet took place at
the City Hall. Six hundred guests We're
present speeches were made by GOV. Banks,
Mr. Everett, GOV. Buckingham of c., aal
others.
Ga account Of the rain of Thursday, Il,
show WAS continued one day longer.
Ca Saturday the Horses wore mustered by
States to compete for the Prize Banner. An
equal number Of Horses (40.) were presented

Farmers and Mechanics of our County this

We shall have on the 9th and 9TH of October
the most interesting exhibition of the kind
yet held in the State, and one which will be
of much greater advantage to the substantial
