proved day Of pure, dry, Wholesome ar, Ja't cool
enough to be comfortable even in the sunshine.

not because the visitors have been numerous, but IN
preparations for 0-uorow, almost all the depart
ueIts were behiidhand, the contractor having been
dilaiory in getting stalls ard buildings ready. Ilere
has ben great number o; entries today, end the
whole number at O'Clock 1850, With iair
prosper TIA, i vould reach 1900. There were about
$500 last year a, Bufslo. There never hs' been an
exhibition Of cattle r The State that gave promise of
the spreading spirit Of improvement 20 much a. this
does. The show OF excellent animals of al breeds Il
not only equal TO any oiler year, in numbers and
quality, but il shows how much the thoroughbred

are wned not by fancy hreeders, but by real farmers
There is ether thing that lOuks well: All are 40
good that would be- difficult 70 say on the whole who
